Castle Rock Campground is beside the Crooked River canyon, 12.4 miles south of Prineville. The area along the canyon is designated as Lower Crooked Wild & Scenic River, which extends 10 miles from Bowman Dam at Prineville Reservoir north along Highway 27 just past Castle Rock Campground. The area is popular for fishing and advanced-skill rafting at some locations. Anglers have good luck landing rainbow and redband trout. If any steelhead trout are caught, they must be kept in the water and released immediately. Along the river canyon is a fascinating array of geologic formations.
Castle Rock Campground is one of 8 primitive campgrounds operated by the Bureau of Land Management along this segment of the Crooked River. Castle Rock campground is composed of 6 campsites open year-round. There is no piped water at the campground, but water is available upstream at Chimney Rock Campground. All campsites are first-come, first served. Castle Rock looms above the campground.
