Great spot up front next to the bathrooms and lake. We're able to fit a 6 person tent with 2 queen air mattresses in the space. Water is right around back. Nice cement bench. Campsites are extremely close to each other, little privacy but everyone was chill and no noise at night.

The stars shining thru the trees are unforgettable. Highly recommend!

We loved the campground and day use area at Loon Lake. We added a day to our reservation and had time to relax on our vacation. The huge trees are amazing. We used our kayaks on the lake and hiked to the waterfall. Nice bathrooms and beautiful sites.

Really a nice recreation area. The beach area is perfect with a swim area, fishing dock and shore parking for boats, shaded grass and picnic tables. Bathrooms were clean with flushers! no showers no water hookups and no dump. Come prepared.

Loon Lake is one of my favorite places. I can't see not coming back here every summer. Hardly any other Oregon lakes have the wonderful sandy beach. The camp hosts are great as well.
