Orogrande Summit is a developed campground with camp pads, all dispersed throughout open timber. Expect to see alpine country with associated wildlife in this high-elevation campground on the route to Buffalo Hump. Wildhorse Lake is about two miles by road northwest of the site. This campground also serves as the trailhead for Columbia Ridge Trail #205.

Yes. Orogrande Summit Campground is free to use. It is managed by the USFS. It is a dispersed area, so there are no hookups, no water and no trash service unless a report below says otherwise.
From State Highway 14, turn south on Crooked River Road #233 and travel approximately 18.6 miles to the campsite which is located on a saddle on Columbia Ridge.
