Arr/Dep Days

[deschutes dawn]

The trails are completely open all the time. The day use area is right next to the campground and has lots of room. The only reason the campground is gated is it's a reservation only area. That's why we have it for ourselves. I finally got down there today and there has been more picnic tables added and the hydrants were on. I went to Prairie Camp up the road to ask the host if the gate could be opened a bit earlier than 4 but no one was there. I am going to try to get there by noon or 1 to try to get it opened early. It would help me for getting things set up too.
