The real advantage to this location is that it’s right next to Pine Mountain Observatory. Just like this campground it’s free.

The dusty gravel road off the highway takes about 20 minutes but it’s usually maintained enough where you could bring a small travel trailer. Larger rigs need a capable pilot to navigate some tight turns into the campground.

We took an RV up here pulling a trailer of motorcycles. It's a great place for launching day rides. There's not too much else to do on top of this butte/mountain other than just admire the amazing view. I hear that on certain nights the UofO Observatory will allow walk in visitors to take a peek through the telescope (unverified, however).
Note: the washboard road up the many miles to the peak is horrendous--one of the worst and longest I've ever experienced. No not try to bring a fragile trailer up there. How bad? I lost a hubcap and ran it over with my trailer!!! Good times.

Observatory open to public Fri/Sat nights.
