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

*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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lake is great. Not too crowded. Lots of paddle boards and small boats. Campsites are always the best. Hiking, fishing and camping here is our favorite.

Our site (#15) was quiet and spacious and had good access to the lake for swimming. The site is on a steep hill that levels off near the bottom. However, none of the tent sites were perfectly level... but they were tolerable. The picnic table is also not level, and one side is buried into the ground a bit. There is room for at least two cars at this site on the top of the hill. The outhouse was well maintained and clean and the campground host was very nice.

It was a great campsite with lake side sightline. Fire pit was also nice.

  • This is a no water facility so campers will need to bring their own supply.
  • This campground is only suitable for tent camping since we cannot accommodate RVs or trailers.
  • Prevent the spread of invasive species by inspecting and cleaning packs, equipment and tires before using lake or trails.
  • Please Note: One vehicle per single site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground. 
  • Fire Restrictions: Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed. 
  • During your time in Central Oregon, you can find wildfire, prescribed fire and smoke information at centraloregonfire.org
  • Reserved Sites will be held until the day following your arrival date.

  • Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
  • Don't Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that can threaten the health of our western forests. You can make a difference by obtaining and burning your firewood near your camping destination.
