What Guests Are Saying

Fish Lake Campground offers a beautiful and secluded experience, with stunning views of the lake and plentiful wildlife, including trout fishing opportunities. Many campers enjoyed spacious sites, clean facilities, and peaceful surroundings, making it a great choice for those seeking tranquility. However, the campground's remoteness can lead to challenges like mosquito swarms and limited cell service, and some visitors noted the absence of a camp host to manage unruly campers.

This campground is extremely remote and he’s to get to. The lake didn’t look swim friendly. It was very far from the redwoods. Forest seemed haunted. Will never go back.

The campsite was great, as they all looked; but there were so many mosquitos!! The lake looked nice, but there was a lot of plant stuff in the water's edges and that water was all "standing." I think that we went through an entire can of DEET. We still enjoyed camping but, I think the experience would have been better if we hadn't stayed near the water's edge.

We spent 3 nights at the campground. It was a nice campground with a lake view. A lot of privacy and very quiet. The lake is nice and surrounded by trees. If you like to fish, a boat or kayak is a must as there is thick lotus and other water plants grow at the perimeter of lake, which make it next to impossible to cast your line. I had seen other boater pulled fishes out of the lake. The drive up there from the main road is about 9 miles. Be very careful as the road is narrow and there are a lot of blind turns and corners. Fortunately, the traffic is usually very light. The restroom was clean and well maintained. The site has water but not electricity. There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer so make sure bring sufficient insect repellent. No cell phone service, as in the case in most of Six Rivers National Forest.

Plenty of solitude during my stay to the point of feeling creepy at night. Every night my family and I went to bed listening to the chirping of insects and every morning woke up to singing birds. We have plenty of time to relax and unwind and just enjoy the peace and joy.

There are apparently multiple Fish Lake Campgrounds in Oregon, and we reserved a spot in the Fish Lake Campground several hundred miles from where we were supposed to be. Our reservation was worthless at our actual destination, the Fish Lake 30 miles from Klamath Falls. Please be sure that this campground and the permits are named in a way that makes clear the location of this campground.
