site had not been cleaned. There was trash, including a pizza box in fire and small trash laying on the grounds. The host was nice enough, and very much in a hurry.

Ivan Oakes Campground offers a peaceful and well-maintained environment with friendly camp hosts and easy access to Lookout Point Reservoir, making it a great choice for nature lovers. Many campers appreciated the cleanliness of facilities, the shaded sites, and the overall quiet atmosphere. However, some visitors noted issues with lake access, site privacy, and the absence of occupied-site markers, which led to some frustration with reservations.

Ivan Oakes offers beautiful scenery, excellent fishing, and a top notch camp host team of Peggi and Steve Jacobson, who were very helpful and accoomidating, while being courteous and friendly. 5 stars
And a strong recommendation for all to enjoy this gem of a campground in our Willamette National Forest.

Nice, accommodating camp hosts and a peaceful atmosphere for all but one weekend night. Somewhat lacking in privacy between sites but not a problem for us as we had about a third of the campground to ourselves. The lake was very low when we stayed. Yellowjackets were not a problem.

It was a very great experience. I brought my daughter there who's 10 and we went fishing and hiked around the reservoir. The camp host was amazing!! She really helped welcome my daughter and make her feel super comfortable at the camp and like if she needed anything she could just ask the camp host. Which is pretty big deal because she can be shy a lot of the time. I give the Campos to 10 out of 10 and the camp and 8 out of 10. I'll be back

The spaces are a nice size and all have a decent fire ring. Other visitors to the location were not good about picking up after themselves. I was in two different campsites and previous visitors had left trash in each one. The pit toilets were clean. I felt safe staying alone at the campsite.
