About
US Forest Service campground. Located an hour northeast of Lakeview, Oregon, within the Warner Mountains, Can Springs births a bubbling creek that flows through this primitive forest camp with a riparian vegetation area bordering it. Large ponderosa pine trees help create a wonderful place to explore or relax in nature's solitude. There are three campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. There is no potable water onsite. Visitors need to pack plenty of water. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
