Central Oregon
Haystack Reservoir Eastshore Campground
Unfortunately, I failed to take photos of the campground itself. This pleasant campground with nicely spaced spots is interspersed with sage brush and juniper trees. The road and site pads are paved. There are 24 dry camping sites, 5 vault toilets, and one water spigot (potable). The spots on the lake allow direct access to the lake, which is fairly low right now but usable for kayaking, etc.
