Malheur National Forest draws RV adventurers to eastern Oregon's wild heart, where jagged peaks meet rushing rivers and ancient pines tower overhead. Choose from four prime parks: Crane Crossing, Fopian Campground, Huddleston Snowpark, or Indian Springs Campground. Camp here to launch epic hikes up Strawberry Mountain or cast lines into trout-rich Malheur River waters.
Malheur National Forest covers 1.5 million acres of rugged terrain, from the Elkhorn Mountains' granite spires to the North Fork Malheur River's glassy pools. Anglers hook steelhead near Drewsey, while hikers summit 9,038-foot Strawberry Peak via trails lined with huckleberry bushes. Fall elk bugling echoes through Wolf Creek canyons, and winter snow dusts the high country for snowmobilers.
Crane Crossing welcomes families with riverside sites perfect for tubing the Malheur River. Off-road fans rev engines from Fopian Campground amid nearby OHV trails. Huddleston Snowpark packs winter thrills for sledders exploring 100 miles of groomed paths. Indian Springs Campground suits solitude seekers, perched near natural springs and elk meadows.
