Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights6 sites open for every nightA forested campground. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Dru Barner Campground sits about 6 miles outside Georgetown on the ridge of the Hornblende Mountains, where Otter Creek has carved a forested canyon to the north and rolling ridges around Rock Creek fall to the south. The tree mix here Ponderosa and sugar pine, Douglas-fir, white fir and incense cedar with pockets of black oak and madrone gives a varied feel: some loops under a canopy, others with little shade, so expect sun exposure at several sites.













Length limits vary by campsite.
Availability on Recreation.gov. Showing 40 of 48 sites.

“Loved that Tyler came by and helped with the burn pass so we could use our stove. The bathroom was decent but was very very empty. ”
“There are no toilets even though the website says there are toilets, it was very misleading ”
“Most of the trails were all blocked and over grown. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,447 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
