“Great remote spot that's real hybrid between dispersed and established camping”

We took an RV up here pulling a trailer of motorcycles. It's a great place for launching day rides. There's not too much else to do on top of this butte/mountain other than just admire the amazing view. I hear that on certain nights the UofO Observatory will allow walk in visitors to take a peek through the telescope (unverified, however).
Note: the washboard road up the many miles to the peak is horrendous--one of the worst and longest I've ever experienced. No not try to bring a fragile trailer up there. How bad? I lost a hubcap and ran it over with my trailer!!! Good times.
Matthew would stay here again

pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables. maybe 1 bar of phone service.
RV's may not like the climb up the mountain, but the gravel road is wide and well maintained. RV's can use the first loop to the right or the first back-in spot to the left. Not sure if there are any suitable RV spots past the second loop (no camping in the 2nd loop).
Observatory open to public Fri/Sat nights.
