As mentioned in a previous article, Seven Devils Road is not as intimidating as it sounds. This smooth national forest dirt road winds its way up to the top of a mountain where the Hells Canyon Wilderness and panoramic views of the Seven Devils Mountains await. A campground is conveniently located where the smooth dirt road ends. The Seven Devils Campground is one of the most unique high elevation rustic camping experiences in the entire west!

The Seven Devils Campground is situated upon rocky crags in a deep conifer forest. There are some cozy nooks for setting up camp and the distance between campsites ensures privacy. This little campground is well suited for hikers, bikers and vehicle tent campers. Horse trailer haulers will find more room nearby at the Windy Saddle Horse Camp. The rustic nature of the Seven Devils Campground is captivating and each campsite nook has a rugged look that has a way of spelling out adventure in its purest form. Jagged boulders and fallen trees are everywhere, so finding some level ground for pitching anything other than a small tent may be a challenge.

Only basic facilities are available and it is easy to see that the Seven Devils Campground is all about roughing it in the wild. Because the Hells Canyon Wilderness is a hiking and mountain biking paradise, it is easy to see where the Seven Devils Campground fits into the overall picture. This is a great spot for setting up a rustic mountain top basecamp and the best views of the Seven Devils Mountain Peaks are just outside the tent!
