Strawberry Campground

We were at Strawberry Campground for four nights over the Fouth, 2018. There are 12 sites and there wasn't a single night the campground was full. One night we were the only ones there. There are spigots throughout the campground for potable water. I would definitely say campgrounds 6, 7 & 8 are the best - most secluded and next to the creek. Deer wandered through the campground each evening.
The 11 mile road from Prairie City, OR is mostly gravel and as of our trip, well groomed and easily traveled...we had a Prius as a neighbor one night.
We hiked a number of trails and they all sport unbelievable views and are not heavily traveled. The trail to Strawberry Lake opens to a wide vista of the lake and the surrounding mountains. You can pick up a trail to Little Strawberry Lake which takes you past a beautiful waterfall and up to the smaller lake, full of trout!
Weather was dry and warmish during the day but got down to around freezing a couple nights. The campground sits at 5700 ft so, like everywhere else in Oregon, bring your layers.
~5 hour drive from Portland and well worth it. We'll be back and next time we'll build in time to stop at the paleontology center.
