What a wonderful campground! Even though the water is low we had a fantastic time.
The trail around the lake is beautiful and our group campsite was huge!
Also, I don’t think I have seen campground restrooms that clean!

Beautiful campground on the water. Very well maintained. Friendly hosts. Nice nearby trails.
There are first come first serve walk up sites next to the group spots. They do not show on the map. As a result, you are not quite as secluded as the site map makes it appear

Campground is clean and shady (full hook-up sites). We enjoyed checking out the surrounding towns and ghost towns.

Our favorite early season campground in Oregon. Campground hosts are always wonderful and the bathrooms are the most immaculate of any campground we have visited. EVER!
