Pine Mountain is a Forest Service campground in the Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District of Oregon's Deschutes National Forest. The site has no fees, and the only facility is a vault toilet. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Brothers, Oregon, run to highs around 82°F in July with lows in the mid-40s, and the station sits about 1,600 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Several trails and mountain biking routes lie within about 10 miles. The 14 Trail Head is about 4 miles away, and the Dry River Canyon Trail is about 8 miles off. Horse Ridge, a mountain biking area, is about 9 miles away, and the Oregon Desert Trail is about 9 miles away.
