Pringle Falls Campground

How does a campground deliver unmatched solitude and a connection to raw wilderness? Pringle Falls Campground, located in the Deschutes National Forest roughly 15 minutes west of La Pine, Oregon, offers an intimate camping experience for those seeking seclusion and simplicity. This small campground, with just seven sites, forgoes modern conveniences in favor of a serene and natural atmosphere surrounded by towering pines.

The campground provides basic amenities, including picnic tables, fire pits, and a single vault toilet, catering to both tent campers and small trailers. Although the Deschutes River runs nearby, there are no riverfront campsites, and Pringle Falls itself is not directly accessible from the campground. Visitors must drive back to Burgess Road to view the falls, which are more accurately rapids than a traditional cascade. Despite its minimalism, the site’s quiet setting makes it ideal for camping purists seeking solitude or a peaceful weekend retreat.

Situated between the Cascade Lakes and U.S. Route 97, Pringle Falls Campground emphasizes isolation rather than proximity to major attractions. However, the Deschutes River affords opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing, while the surrounding forest lands are ripe for exploration and quiet reflection. With essential supplies accessible in La Pine, the campground is a convenient yet remote getaway for those craving a break from crowds and modern distractions.
