Mt. Baker Lodging

Fremont-Winema National Forest

Holbrook Reservoir, 35 minutes southeast of Bly, Oregon, is an ideal destination if you’re seeking a quiet, forested setting for fishing and leisure. Holbrook Reservoir is one of three major points of interest in the Lofton Recreation Area. The reservoir is stocked on a rotational basis. There is a boat ramp and dock, and boats with electric motors are permitted. Ponderosa pines dominate the landscape and make for a cool and shady campground. Holbrook Reservoir features four designated campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, grates and two vault toilets. There are about eight dispersed sites throughout the campground that have no amenities. This is a popular campground during hunting season in the fall. In the winter, snowmobilers often ride their snowmobiles from Quartz Mountain Sno-Park to Holbrook Reservoir. There is no potable water. Visitors need to pack plenty of water.

Really Nice - Waterfront Sites

Lots of mosquitoes but worth it. Sites were large and toilets were clean. Don’t just stop at the first section like we did, there are sites along the back of the lake too, go past the 1st lot with the bathrooms (don’t take the sand road, take the next right after that) and follow until you find a site you like.

Pretty campsites on a pretty lake/reservoir

This campground appears to be the same campground as another Dyrt Campground listing for "Holbrook Reservoir." There appear to be about ten campsites dispersed around the reservoir in at least three different locations. The main campsite sits at the south end of the reservoir near the small dam. It has a boat ramp, a picnic table and a toilet. On the west side of the reservoir there are two different areas with at least one of them having a pit toilet. Each area appears to have three campsites, but not all have a picnic table. Most sites have a beautiful view of the reservoir.

When we were there in early June, the reservoir had been stocked. Although we are not fisher folks, we enjoyed the birds that were enjoying the fish: white pelicans, ospreys, Buffleheads, Double-crested Cormorants, and a Bald Eagle.

It is fairly remote with no cell phone coverage.

We were able to park our 20 foot trailer near the lake. The roads coming in are pretty typical forest service type roads requiring you to go fairly slowly and watch out for potholes.
