Overview

Located 20 minutes south of Paisley, Oregon, Marsters Spring is a rustic and peaceful campground along the banks of the Chewaucan River. The water level stays consistent on this river, providing good habitat for fish.

Anglers can cast their line for catch-and-release trout. A creek flows amid sagebrush and through a mixed stand of alder, juniper and ponderosa pines. The Chewaucan Crossing trailhead is just one and a half miles up the road which accesses the National Recreation Trail #160.

Ten widely spaced campsites offer privacy. All sites have picnic tables and fire grates, and there are two vault toilets. A hand pump gives access to fresh water during open season. Trash service is provided throughout the summer months.
