Camp and ride in a volcanic crater at the Chief Paulina Horse Camp.

Well worth the visit for incredible mountain and views, miles and miles of trails, and the bragging rights associated with having camped within a volcano crater. The Newberry National Volcanic Monument is located a quick 45 minutes from Bend, Oregon.

A long time favorite horse camp near Paulina Lake in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument and Deschutes National Forest - Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District.

The camping area has spots for 14 truck / trailer rigs and most of them will accommodate larger LQ rigs. All spots also boast either 2 or 4 horse stalls so no high lining required here.
