Lake Selmac Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting on the shore of Lake Selmac in southern Oregon's Illinois Valley, Lake Selmac Resort gives campers direct water access from a mix of drive-in RV sites and walk-in tent spots that sit close to the lake's edge. The walk-in sites require only a short carry from the parking area above, and their proximity to the water makes them a draw for tent campers who want a lakeside setup without a long haul. Full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, make this a functional base for RV families. Toilets are on-site, but there are no showers.

Fishing and swimming are the main draws here. Boat rentals are available through the marina, including pedal boats for those who want to cover the lake under their own power. Reviewers with kids note the campground works well for families, with enough on-water activity to fill a weekend. The hosts have drawn consistent praise across multiple seasons.

"Some sites here are very private feeling because you park the car up top and walk down to the tent that sits close to the lake," notes reviewer Nicole O. Nearby, Lake Selmac County Park sits just west of the resort and provides another option along the same lake. Campers exploring the region can also browse campgrounds near Selma for a broader look at what the Illinois Valley has available. This resort makes the most sense for RV families and anglers who want full hookups with immediate lake access.

Family camping kinda of spot

Great spot for families. There are plenty of things to do from fishing, swimming, and even renting a "peddle" boat for a leg workout while taking your trip around the lake.

Amazing camping experience

We spent a weekend at Lake Selmac camping in our RV with our four kiddos. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. The new Owners of the Marina were wonderful as well. The campsites were all so beautiful with all the amenities one may want. You really felt removed from the world while there BUT not to far from a grocery store that has all you need. Boat rentals are cheap and very easy to access. I highly recommend this place!

Some sites here are very private feeling because you park the car up top and walk down (not far at all) to the tent that sits close to the lake.
