We were at site 7. It was very sloped and did not have adequate flat areas for tents. We were there in early July and the mosquitoes, flies and bees were pretty bad. This area may be better late in the season, but I will probably not return to this camp ground.

Even though we had reserved our campsite weeks in advance, there was someone set up in our campsite when we arrived. We searched for a camp host for over an hour before determining that there was no host. After talking to the individual in our site, we learned that he did not find a reserved sign on the campsite post and had already paid for the site...that we also had already paid for. It was incredibly frustrating when we had a reservation that we paid for in advance and the site was not available.

We love the Driftwood campground. On this occasion, there was no toilet paper in the restroom for over one day. We had very noisy neighbors who played music until 11:30 and continued loudly talking until after 2:00 am. We actually left a day early.

Be aware that sites 9-11 are parallel parking up the hill from the actual campsite. Several bigger rvs/trailers were parked along with our truck camper, making it a very awkward fit. Feels like there is enough parking for 2, not 3 sites. Or these should be tent only sites. The site itself was nice but you have to go up and down a steep hill to get to your vehicle.

Pretty nice up here beautiful views and many fish in the lake. Didn’t have the boat rentals open currently since it isn’t hot enough and the bugs were terrible constantly biting and swarming even bug spray didn’t work. Overall a ok experience it was a little confusing to know where to go without a camp host.

Beautiful spot! Huge campsites with a big front porch to the lake shore! Really nice camp neighbors, and lots of stars at which to gaze, can't ask for a lot more than that!

Comparatively spacious sites. Pretty setting. It would be nice if I didn’t have to listen to drones though.

Site #4 was excellent for tents and large beach front. Fishing, biking, hiking options. Great hikes to Little Three Creeks Lake and Tam McArthur.

General

  • 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. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests. Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
  • 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. Visit Dontmovefirewood.org for further information.
  • Click here for more information about Deschutes National Forest.
  • Camping or otherwise occupying a single location (including leaving camping equipment and/or related supplies) for a period longer than 14 consecutive calendar days is prohibited. ‘Location’ means the occupied area, the occupied campsite, and the National Forest System lands in the immediate vicinity thereof. Camping or occupying any location on all National Forest lands for more than 28 calendar days total during a calendar year is prohibited.
  • NO generator use is allowed in campgrounds. Silent power banks or battery powered devices are allowed.
