Poison Butte Campground is one of 5 BLM campgrounds located right on the famous trout fishing Crooked River. Located about 30 miles east of Bend, Oregon and 10 miles south of Prineville, Oregon this campground is a quite spot to stay and enjoy the Crooked River. It is rustic with vault toilets and fire rings. Even thought the access road is dirt and gravel, low clearance vehicles should have no trouble.
Popular activities include fishing for native rainbows, floating the river on hot days, hiking, and enjoying the beauty of this desert canyon. Use can be high during the summer months and if this campground is full, there are several others to choose from along the river leading up to Prineville Reservoir.
