Stay Where the Steens Meet the Wild.

Terms & Conditions

Please review and accept our Terms & Conditions, Campground Policies, and Pet Policy and Campground Rules before making your reservation.

Two-Night Minimum During Local Events & Holiday Weekends.

A two-night minimum stay applies during some of the busiest holiday weekends and local events of the year, including Memorial Day Weekend, the 4th of July, the Steens Rim Run, the Frenchglen Jamboree, and Labor Day Weekend.

These dates are popular times to visit the Steens Mountain area, and the two-night minimum helps us accommodate the increased number of guests and reservations during these busy periods. We recommend making reservations early, as campsites and lodging can fill quickly during holiday weekends and special events.

Rural Wi-Fi & Internet

Verizon and AT&T generally provide the best cell service in our area, although service can vary due to our remote location.

Our Wi-Fi is also rural and cannot be compared to high-speed internet in larger cities. It is intended for basic online needs such as email, browsing, and staying in touch.

Streaming movies, television, and music is strongly discouraged, as it uses significant bandwidth and can affect Wi-Fi access for other guests.

For important or high-bandwidth needs, we recommend using your cell phone hotspot whenever possible.

Thank you for helping us keep our limited rural Wi-Fi available for everyone.

Weather at Steens Mountain

Weather in the Steens Mountain area can change quickly. Summer days in the High Desert can be hot, while evenings and nights can be surprisingly cool. As you travel higher up Steens Mountain, temperatures can drop significantly, and strong winds, thunderstorms, rain, and even snow are possible.

Spring and fall can bring a wide range of conditions, and higher elevations may see snow even when the weather at the resort is warm and sunny.

Come prepared for changing weather. We recommend bringing layers, a jacket or windbreaker, sun protection, and appropriate footwear—especially if you plan to explore the mountain.

BLM Gate Access

Access to certain surrounding areas may be affected by gates maintained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office in Hines, Oregon.

There are five gates in total, and opening and closing schedules vary throughout the year. If your travel plans depend on access through these gates, we recommend contacting the BLM office directly for the current gate status, as local updates may not always be available.

Local Services & Travel Planning

Our area is remote, with limited services available. A small mercantile, gas station, and restaurant are located in town and are typically open from mid-March through the end of October.

We strongly recommend that all guests purchase groceries and fuel up prior to arriving in Frenchglen to ensure a comfortable stay.

Seasonal Conditions – Mosquitoes

Guests planning a late spring or early summer visit should be aware that mosquitoes can be prevalent.

Our property is surrounded by the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and its marsh areas. Seasonal snowmelt is used to flood-irrigate the refuge, creating ideal conditions for mosquitoes.

If you are sensitive to mosquitoes or prefer not to use repellent, this may not be the ideal time for your visit.

Wildlife & Nature

Respect the wildlife and enjoy the landscape responsibly while you're here. Please observe animals from a safe distance, stay on designated roads and trails, and help us protect the natural beauty and peaceful surroundings that make this area so special.
