Someone was in my campsite #5 when I got there as my name was NOT on the sign. Bummer.

Summary
Driftwood Campground offers beautiful lakeside views and spacious, private campsites, making it an appealing destination for camping, hiking, and fishing. While some sites may be sloped and lack shade, the proximity to stunning mountain scenery and activities like paddleboarding enhances the overall experience. However, maintenance issues such as overflowing garbage and unclean bathrooms have been noted, highlighting a need for improved campground services.

Our stay at this site was less than desirable. Information on the site was conflicting, depending upon whom one asked. After a lot of time-wasting hassle, we aborted the stay.

We loved the area with our two small kids. Especially the warm lake and mountain view.
Signage at the entrance could be improved regarding COVID response, garbage information, and hours/closures for lake house and/or boat rentals. We stuck to the campsite and had a fine time but would feel more knowledgeable if we could go back and do it again.
Be prepared to pack out all of your trash.
Try not to take a low clearance car like we did (2012 Odyssey - minivan) as the road there is gravel and hard to navigate in the last mile.
Print out your own map for day hiking in the area before you go.
Bring your own water, floatation devices, and lots of sunscreen.

Hiking in the area was great. Not much luck fishing but we saw bald eagles on two occasions. Beautiful and peaceful.

We left one day early because forest fire operations were using the lake to pull water by helicopter to dump on a fire a few miles away...a constant roar.

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.
