You can camp right on the Camas Reservoir and ride in that area. It is off HWY20 east of Mountain Home.
are those pics of the Camas area? Looks like a desert-like climate. Looks like you can ride to Anderson dam from there. Could my kids ride from camp?
We never have the time to explore the extended area, but visit it every couple of years as a stop off point on longer trips. There is a seasonal campground with full hookups there (Fort Running Bear), but they are not OHV friendly. My buggies are street licensed, so they were fine with us idling in and out of camp. The owner is restoring a Model T and any advise/help you can give him to get it running will make the campground stay more friendly.
You can dry camp right at the lake for free and there are pit toilets available. Avoid posted areas, opening any gates into grazing pasture and stay clear of cattle - You will still have plenty of places to ride with some awesome views. This location is fairly high up (over 5000') and definitely gets snow in the winter, so you may have a couple weeks left before it becomes difficult to access until spring.
