On
the shore of Lake Billy Chinook at 2000 feet elevation, Monty features 32
camping sites, all first come, first served. Monty is found after driving about
five miles past Perry South, one of Oregon's USFS most popular campgrounds.
Actually there is not much to recommend this campground except that you will
rarely find others camping here. This is a seldom used campground partially
because of the bumpy difficult road that you have to travel to get here, but
mostly because Perry South, with its more convenient location is a much nicer
campground. Campers traveling here should be careful of the five mile road. It
is mostly one lane and the steep bank goes down quickly to the lake about 100
feet below.
There are two older
style pit toilets found in the center of the campground and no water. Water is
available at Perry South. While the campground is on the water at the junction
of the Metolius River and Lake Billy Chinook, the river runs fast here and is
not appropriate for swimming or boating. It is a good area, however, to put or
take out a kayak.
Normally the Perry South host takes care of Monty from Memorial Day Weekend
through at least the Labor Day Weekend otherwise there will be an attendant who
will be visiting the campground each day.
