Point RV Park at Emigrant Lake

Located just minutes from the cheerful town of Ashland, the year-round campground at Point RV Park offers 32 full-hookup sites on the north end of Emigrant Lake. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and have access to flush restrooms and showers. Parking pads can accommodate vehicles/trailers up to 50 feet. A group camp is available for larger parties; many sites and facilities are ADA accessible. The campground also features a beach, picnic area, playground, horseshoe pits, and a boat ramp. Tent camping is not available at this location, but permitted at the nearby Oak Slope Campground. Sites are available first-come, first-served, but reservations are recommended during the busy summer season; rates are $30/night.

Activities at Emigrant Lake include sunbathing, swimming, paddling, boating and fishing. There is also a water park at the lake with dual 280-foot slides. Common catches in the lake include trout, small- and largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish. (ODFW has issued a health advisory about high levels of Mercury in all fish except trout in Emigrant Lake.) Nearby, Ashland is the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. This annual event holds a variety of plays and performances that run from spring through fall. While in town, spend some time checking out Ashland’s collection of shops, galleries, spas, and eateries. If visiting in summer, take a hike on the acclaimed Pacific Crest Trail or climb up to a volcanic prominence called Pilot Rock. If visiting in winter there’s skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Ashland.
