For Mecca Flat Campground: While staying here in August 2024: -Dog friendly -No hookups -2 bars on Verizon -No shade -Madras, OR only 10 minutes away. -1 acres fenced in dog park in Madras OR (15 min. drive) -Used my credit card at the automated self pay station (super convenient). -fairly clean bathroom (toilet only). -From travel trailers to Teslas, they all have made down the road and plenty of room. Situated on the banks of the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River, Mecca Flat Campground is located just a mile and a half from Oregon State HIghway 26 near Warm Springs. The site features 13 individual campsites and one group use area. The southern terminus of the 7-mile long Trout Creek Trail can be accessed directly from the campground. Know Before You Go: All campsites, including the group use area are open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis; no potable water is available. The 1.6 mile Mecca Flat Road is narrow with few pullouts; use caution particularly when pulling a trailer. Access the nearby non-motorized Trout Creek Trail which fronts the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River for 7 miles where it terminates at Trout Creek Campground. Cell phone service is not available in the campground. Goathead, also known as puncturevine, is present in the area; protect your pets and bicycle tires Point of Interest: The Deschutes Railroad ran on portions of the nearby Trout Creek trail and Mecca Flat Road for several decades, competing with the Oregon Trunk Railroad before abandonment in the early 20th century. Look for the historic, now-abandoned tunnel near Highway 26 - but stay clear of this degrading and unstable structure.

For Mecca Flat Campground: After scouting I decided not to take my 30' fifth wheel to the campground. The single lane road is very rough, much of it 5-10 mph. The pullouts to make way for on coming traffic are for passenger vehicles with a couple longer exceptions. If I had a partner leading on a bicycle to clear on-coming traffic around the blind curves, I would have patiently braved the road and its narrow section with steep drop offs on both sides. Ideal for vans, tent and truck campers, the campground next to the river was lovely and quiet with good birding and better fishing. My fifth wheel would have fit, but I failed to scout campsites for larger rigs. There is private property adjacent to the campground with no trespassing signs. A sign advertises the Deschutes River Fly Shop and Camp, located just south of the highway 26 intersection. I camped there and took a beginner fly fish lesson.
