First-come campgrounds vs. dispersed camping

Every campground below is a named, developed site that takes no reservations: show up, find an open site, pay if there's a fee. Dispersed camping (boondocking) is different: camping on open public land away from any campground. BLM limits dispersed camping to 14 days within any 28-day period (stay limits vary by field office), asks campers to stay at least 200 feet from lakes and streams, and says most areas need no permit or reservation (blm.gov, read 2026-09-26). Where that land is in Oregon, and each unit's own rule: Oregon BLM land on publiclandsdb.com.

Most first-come campgrounds by town: 16 near Maupin , 16 near Prineville , 15 near Glide , and 12 near Prairie City .
