Campground facilities include seven campsites with excellent access to the Crooked Wild and Scenic River. Know Before You Go Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis.

Watch for bicyclists: the section of State Highway 27 between Prineville and Bowman Dam is designated as the Crooked River Canyon Scenic Bikeway. Point of Interest The campground takes its name from nearby rock outcrops composed of basaltic lava. As these formations cooled, a multi-sided joint pattern formed which seemingly resulted in the appearance of a pile of posts stacked vertically. The geologic phenomena is known as columnar basalt.
