Best Campgrounds near Beatty, OR

Beatty, Oregon and the surrounding region provide camping options ranging from developed sites to dispersed locations, with notable campgrounds like Williamson River Campground and Fish Lake Resort within reach. Both tent sites and RV camping are available throughout the area, while some properties like Fish Lake Resort and Klamath Falls KOA also offer cabin accommodations. The landscape includes primarily forested settings near water features, with proximity to attractions like Crater Lake National Park influencing camping patterns in the region.

Access to many campgrounds varies seasonally, with several properties operating only from late spring through early fall. Most developed campgrounds in the region maintain standard amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and basic toilet facilities. "Want to be close to town for a night. This KOA is well kept, has a small store, gas station and propane. Also offers a clean pool and restroom," noted one visitor about the Klamath Falls KOA. Elevation differences create varying weather conditions throughout the area, with higher-elevation sites experiencing cooler temperatures even during summer months. Cell service can be unreliable in more remote locations, particularly those near water bodies or in forested zones away from major highways.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive feedback from visitors, with Lake of the Woods and Williamson River locations mentioned specifically for their scenic qualities. Multiple reviewers highlighted the region's natural beauty and relative tranquility, especially in more remote Forest Service and BLM properties. According to visitor comments, campgrounds closer to Crater Lake National Park tend to fill quickly during summer months, making reservations advisable when available. Some campgrounds feature notable amenities like hot springs (Summer Lake Hot Springs) or proximity to hiking trails and fishing opportunities. Sites within the Fremont National Forest and near Annie Creek provide more primitive camping experiences with fewer amenities but greater solitude, according to visitor feedback.

    Sunset Campground at Lake of the Woods

    Great national forest campground

    Almost all the pads are paved. Bathrooms are flush and kept very clean. Large well separated sites. Most sites are reserved but mid week (Wednesday) on 9/3 most of the FCFS were open at check in.

    Fourmile Lake Campground

    Lovely Lake Views

    Great campground and excellent camp host. Just off hwy 140, take the dirt road for about 7-8 miles to the campground. The lake is clear and pristine, views for days. Not really a bad campsite. Pit toilets, no showers, no WiFi but Star Link works of course. Trails to hike, kayak, fish, boat.

    Frog Camp BLM

    Hidden oasis

    Across the reservoir from Gerber Reservoir campground. Just a couple of fire pits and a picnic table. One pit toilet/out house. Little bit of shade from the trees and great views.

    Like You’re the Only One There

    Really enjoyed my stay. Quiet, well spaced and flat sites. Pit toilet, no hookups or shower. Very helpful camp host. Fire pit and picnic table. Close to Wood River and other great trails and paddling areas.

    Jackson F. Kimball State Recreation Site

    Beautiful site

    This an an absolute beautiful site to be at. The prices have changed since the post of $11 (I’ll post the updated ones as of August 2025). The camp grounds are small and you are very close to your fellow campers HOWEVER if you head out of the park after a day of playing and taking in the sights there are forest roads all over! You can tuck your camper away in any of them as we did. We stayed in the forest close by for a few days and it was quiet and peaceful. Just a little side note: the water is FREEZING cold!! The cold hurt my ankles after about 5 min. and I had to get out…and this was in August!! Anyways it is beautiful and I would visit again. The restrooms were clean and even though it was a full campsite everyone was very respectful of others.

    Sand Creek Station

    Unkept campground

    Not much, but did have hookup ($40)or dry camp($20) options. Toilet and showers were in need of cleaning . Small convenience store and cafe. Highway noise. Nice people.

    NF-9730

    Easy access

    Easy access off highway. Road is gravel but very new and flat. Cell service is great. The Forrest here burned recently so it isnt as pretty as it once was. Alot of trees have been removed making it feel very open. Many trees are still black with char. You can hear the highway from the sites. There is also a campground down the gravel road so they kick up a little dust as they go past. But this is a great sleeper spot. By no means a destination but can be a launching pad.

    Train Mountain Railroad

    Free but arrive during business hours

    Gate is closed after business hours. During business hours go to the office and ask to stay, they are very friendly people. You can reserve via harvest hosts, they will give you the gate code. Very fun stay, did a train ride and looked at all the stuff they have. Really fun.
