Cougar Crossing Campground

Don’t be confluenced by the junction of the McKenzie River and Cougar Reservoir–there’s plenty of hiking here too. Semi-open and dotted by mixed conifers, The Cougar Crossing Campground is the tale of two terrains sitting on the water and within walking distance of the Three Sisters Wilderness Park that lies east of the site. Make a reservation for $12 a night, all year round and expect a crowd. Check website for closures.
