About this campground

Escape to Double Cabin Campground, where the whisper of wind through towering pines replaces the din of modern life. This secluded mountain retreat offers the rare gift of true solitude, tucked away in the heart of the Maury Mountains' ancient forest. Though recreational amenities within the campground itself are refreshingly minimal—perfect for those seeking simplicity—adventure awaits just beyond your tent flap. A peaceful walk leads to the mirror-like waters of Double Cabin Pond, while a scenic drive brings you to the expansive Antelope Flat Reservoir, where fishing and wildlife watching opportunities abound.
Double Cabin Campground provides free camping with basic facilities and emphasizes a secluded, primitive camping experience.
Weather and SeasonsThe Maury Mountains showcase nature's full seasonal palette at Double Cabin. Summer brings warm, sun-drenched days with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 83°F, perfect for afternoon hikes and evening campfires. As autumn arrives, crisp mornings hover around 51°F, painting the forest in golden light. Winter transforms the campground into a snow-dusted wonderland, with temperatures dipping to a brisk 14°F—ideal for hardy souls seeking solitude. Spring emerges gradually, with temperatures ranging from 25°F to warmer days that awaken the forest floor. The region's characteristically dry climate means more starlit nights than rainy ones, with the clearest skies and most comfortable camping conditions typically occurring during the warmer months.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a cathedral of towering pines that have stood sentinel for generations, their massive trunks creating natural privacy screens between campsites. The campground's isolation is its greatest asset—here, the only sounds are birdsong, rustling branches, and perhaps the distant splash of trout rising in Double Cabin Pond. The surrounding forest floor, carpeted in pine needles and dappled with sunlight, invites quiet contemplation and leisurely exploration. Just minutes away, Antelope Flat Reservoir stretches across the landscape, its waters reflecting the surrounding peaks and providing a stunning backdrop for photography enthusiasts.
Geological RegionDouble Cabin Campground sits at the pulsing heart of the Maury Mountains, a pristine wilderness where ancient geological forces have created a landscape of rolling peaks clothed in magnificent pine forests. This isolated mountain environment represents one of Oregon's hidden treasures—a place where volcanic origins have given way to dense coniferous forests that stretch as far as the eye can see. The big pine ecosystem here creates a unique microclimate, offering cooler temperatures in summer and protection from harsh winds in winter, making it an ideal basecamp for exploring this lesser-known mountain wilderness.
