ScoutA delight!
Close to town but worlds away. We expected the campground to be full for the weekend so we arrived a day early and had our pick of sites. The RV park was nothing special but fairly new and close to the lake. The Oak Slope “tent” camp has no hookups but easily accommodated our small trailer. Beautifully nestled amid open oaks it was peaceful and full of birdsong. It could feel close and crowded if full but it was 3/4 empty this early summer weekend, and the friendly accommodating camp hosts said it never fills. The smaller RV camp no doubt does, and reservations are a must in summer. The lake was nearly full this year after a solid winter of rain and snow.
Facilities at Oak Slope are a bit tired, but major renovations are planned for 2024. Might be good to call the parks office to check.
ScoutAnother nice Oregon park
Great value. Easily accommodated 40motorhome towing.
RangerBeautiful when the lake is full
Growing up I went to Emigrant often, the lake was once a town that’s now a lake… it’s a nice lake when full and early into summer June-July. August the lake always get a bit warm. The waterslides that were once here were a childhood memory! The lake was ALWAYS PACKED growing up between 1999-2010 and then the lake dried up almost completely. As of July 2022 it’s about 50% full, which you are able to dock a boat and enjoy the lake at that point. Beautiful place for a day trip for a picnic and to swim, lots of good places to BBQ all around the lake! The campsites are a bit slanted but have always been nice. A huge playground for the kids too!
