The campsites on that side of the lake are very steep and the whole hillside where you park was sliding away and had big potholes in it. Other than that, spacious campsites, albeit in a steep hill. Nice hike to little three creek lake. Fishing was good.

Seen a bald Eagle, Osprey, Owl, bats, squirrels, and a potato bug. Windy so be careful with the campfire. Wait until the sun goes down before lighting a fire. There is brush and vegetation near the ring in some of the camps. The reserved spots had nobody. We had the camp to ourselves. Stars were perfect and so were the s’mores.

This spot had an amazing view of the lake and it’s surroundings! We did notice that this campsite had less shade coverage than the other sites along the lake. It was nice that the restroom was near by walking but not too close.
Important things to pack would be extra bug repellent and extra local wood.

It is very close to my house. I’m in Sisters. It’s my favorite campground in this area. Campground is clean and well maintained. New comers should know it is a dry campground except for the lake.

*Beware the Three Creeks Bandits*
We love it up there but there have been reports of theft lately and our Naish inflatable paddleboard was stolen right out in front of our site on 9/7/23 . Just hoping others will read this and keep their stuff close and tidy, and hopefully with fewer temptations the scum will go away.

Campsite and restroom were clean. It’s my local lake and almost always nice conditions on the water.

A little worried that our reservation was not posted at our site. Fortunately our friend was early and camping next to us and cleared out some folks taking over the spot. No camp host and no TP made for a rough start to our week. Eventually the camp host’s presence was visible toward the end of the week. We have had lawlessness experiences up at this lake in the past and we’re glad to see some structure. Beautiful week and was pleased at the end.
