This intersection is also marked with a brown Forest Service sign reading "Marks Creek Sno-Park, Crystal Spgs Org Camp\". Or, heading west from Mitchell on Hwy 26 it is 18 miles to the 2630 intersection, 1/2 mile past the Bandit Springs Rest Area. Turn east (your only choice) onto the 2630, some maps call this road \"Crystal Creek Rd\" or \"Summit Rd\" but the sign on the highway identifies it as \"USFS Road 2630". Camp is on the right about 2 miles from the highway, when you cross the second cattle guard it is about 3/4 mile further. There are other excellent camp sites both before and after this camp, on the 2630 as well as on side roads, that access the same trails.

Ochoco Mountains east of Prineville. Beautiful grassy meadows separated by pine forest. Wild horses roam this range, the solo rider or small group stand an excellent chance of spotting some, occasionally a bachelor band will approach campers.
Many thanks to TrailMeister user eragep for sharing the fabulous horse camping area!
Dispersed camping, no amenities.
