This area is still closed as of late 2023 due to the White River Fire which burned right through here in 2020. If and when it's back open, you will find it secluded, no facilities, tent (back of SUV/truck) camping. The actual mill is long gone, but sat about 200 yards to the east along the White River, where remnants can be found. The way to drive here is NOT what Google says! That will put you ac... This area is still closed as of late 2023 due to the White River Fire which burned right through here in 2020. If and when it's back open, you will find it secluded, no facilities, tent (back of SUV/truck) camping. The actual mill is long gone, but sat about 200 yards to the east along the White River, where remnants can be found. The way to drive here is NOT what Google says! That will put you across the river! You take 26 from Mt. Hood, to 216 east, and then north on Keeps Mill Road from there to its end. This way isn't hard to find if you look closely at a map. However, the road gets increasingly bad, rutted, pitted, large potholes in worn gravel/dirt. 4x4 and high clearance, with the last mile sheer up on one side, and down on the other. Not "Sorcerer" like terrifying, but nowhere to pull over, nowhere to turn around, and sketchy to back out. After the fire, the road may only be accessible by dirt bike unless the under-funded USFS somehow finds the budget to repair it.

Remote place. Nothing here but trees, canyon, and a raging river. All campsites are fairly flat and next to the river. Last mile is a very rough jeep trail that hugs the side of a fairly steep canyon. I liked it.

Nice quiet spot. Do not trust the google driving directions from Portland if it has you come in from highway 35. Unless you can ford the river. Come in from highway 26 side.

If you want a remote, secluded camping adventure this is the spot. Need 4 wheel drive and your tent.
