About Lower Camp Creek Campground
A pleasantly small campground tucked among ponderosa pines along a forest creek. This campground is popular with hunters. Just a short drive away from the beautiful Middle Fork of the John Day River. Less than a mile away is [Arch Rock Trail 258](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/malheur/recarea/?recid=39910), an ashflow tuff with a scenic arch and several small rockshelters eroded into the outcrop, allowing visitors a place to see fascinating geological features. A bit further at 13 miles away is [Magone Lake Campground](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/malheur/recarea/?recid=39964), a great place to swim, fish or hike.
