Check availabilityA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Trapper Creek Campground sits on a small stream that feeds into Odell Lake in the Crescent Ranger District of Deschutes National Forest, surrounded by mixed stands of pine and fir with huckleberry and spring wildflowers in the understory. The site layout is compact and quietly wooded: there are 28 campsites in total, and each is designed to accommodate both tents and RVs, with picnic tables, campfire rings that include grills, and access to drinking water.












Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (6,046 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.
