    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.

    One of my Favs

    Great location, many sites are right on this gorgeous lake. Boat slips and ramps, kayak and paddle. Awesome trail along the lake. Super well maintained, clean, water, electric hook ups and dump station. A little resort with food. Boat and kayak rentals. A quiet sleep in the trees.

    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.

    NF-70 Dispersed Camping Near Crater Lake NP

    Patchy service, cool spots

    We went here and found a decent spot but then hiked up the road more to the top and found a super cool spot. It was a little rougher road, but totally worth it.
