GenieSummary

What others are saying about this campground
Steens Mountain Wilderness Resort is a beautiful, rustic campground located near Frenchglen, Oregon, right by the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. The campground has long, mostly level, gravel sites that work fine but there are several trees that need trimming to avoid larger/taller RV interference. The park has a clean and well-maintained bathroom and shower area. The laundry offers two washers and two dryers at $2 per load. Though there is no specific dog area available, there are adequate opportunities around the perimeter of the campground. Garbage and recycling bins are available every 40 yards throughout the campground. The views of the valley below are beautiful from the hillside location of the campground. The area is a marshland, so expect a lot of mosquitoes and be sure to bring mosquito repellent. The CG is quiet and dark at night, offering an excellent opportunity for stargazing. While its a good location to visit Steens Mountain, the wildlife refuge, and Alvord Desert, make sure your expectations are in line with reality. The cost is reasonable, but there are no significant amenities, and the French Glen Hotel and general store are closed, so the nearest provisions and restaurant are forty miles north on Highway 205. Lastly, the 3.2-mile gravel road leading to the campground from the highway is a bit rough and bumpy, but slow travel minimizes the discomfort.
