Candle Creek Campground Access

Candle Creek Campground Access provides entry to a 10-site campground located at the confluence of Candle Creek and the Metolius River in Deschutes National Forest, accessible via a well-maintained 2-mile gravel road from Lower Bridge.

The campground offers vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, though it is not recommended for RVs or trailers (maximum site spur length 18 feet) and has no potable water or cell service.

This location serves as a base for fishing, hiking, and paddling activities on the Metolius River, with the campground typically open mid-May through mid-September.
