Trout Creek Campground. — Hotel in Madras

By far, the worst campground we've ever been to. As regular campers that travel all over to experience as many campgrounds as possible, we'll never return to this place. On arrival, someone was parked in our campsite and it was late so we had to set up around this car.We ran a generator to keep our child warm in our camper and cook food etc.. and had every single other camper complained during the day to us. People were rude and angry, complained to us and after turning it off, they still complained to the ranger. The people next to us, got a warning for the generator when they didn't even have one. People were partying, yelling and never got a complain or warning. This place is for fishing and lots of fisherman that want quiet at 7pm. We checked for the rules pertaining to generators running and there wasn't anything posted so we assumed it would be ok until 10pm....

Winter time may be a different story with snow or ice, but the only part with a very steep grade is paved at least. Gorgeous views the whole way. Lots of people camping though it wasn't full, looks like a great time 😁 might have done five stars if I had been able to stay and...

Freaking awesome place. Saw lots of fishermen and rafters setting off but not many campers. We stayed in a TT and there were lots of spots. 1st come. $8 weekday, $20 weekend. 1/2 off w National Pass card. We stayed one night for $4. Possibly the best deal in the world.

Gorgeous views all around. Weather in late June was perfect. Bugs weren't too bad.

Getting here with a trailer was a bit of an adventure but any vehicle should be able to navigate down and handle the washboard gravel road in. ...
