About Lee Thomas Campground

Located one hour 30 minutes southwest of Paisley, Oregon, Lee Thomas Campground is located right on the banks of the North Fork of the Wild and Scenic Sprague River. Lodgepole pine trees, rock outcroppings, and riparian meadows characterize the landscape. All seven campsites are close enough to hear the river riffling by. Campground amenities include picnic tables, fire grates, one vault toilet, and potable water. Just one mile east of the campground is the [Lee Thomas Trailhead](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/fremont-winema/recarea/?recid=59893), which accesses [Deadhorse Rim Trail 139](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/fremont-winema/recarea/?recid=60153).
