Bird Track Springs Campground

We wandered around on the Umatilla National Forest roads for a week enjoying the cooler elevations and the little forest campgrounds. They were mostly empty which was surprising considering how close they are to cities and how hot it was in the lowlands. The peace and quiet was fine with us. :) 

Bird Track Springs Campground is pretty with towering ponderosa pines and an under-story of lush grass. Three of the sights are accessible. We camped in site 13 which is excellent with a wide paved parking pad and a paved trail to the picnic table and fire ring. The picnic table has an extended top and the fire ring has high sides. The pavement extends under the table and fire ring. A paved trail continues to an accessible vault toilet. 

Bird Track Springs Interpretive Trail Trailhead on the opposite side of Route 244 was overgrown so we did not try it.

Some of the campsites are long enough for almost any RV and the campground roads all have turn around loops at the end.  Campground  45.29857, -118.30731
