"We've driven by this park SO many times driving from the Willamette Valley to Central Oregon. Being right next to the highway we've never really considered it as a "get-away" place. "
"Some really beautiful sites next to the lake. Easy access to the lake from pretty much all of the campground. Great boat launch. The lake was warm and had a nice shallow edge for the kids."
$21 - $40 / night
"This campsite is about five miles off of 22 and five miles from a few local stores and Detroit lake.
The site is tucked away and quiet."
"We love the easy access to the beach and the beautiful hikes. Showers are hot and free, rangers are always friendly."
$28 - $260 / night
"Cove creek campground is an hour away from Salem sitting above the south side of Detroit lake, on the right hand side of the road once you arrive in Idanha - off hwy 22 and blowout road."
"The sites are nice and big, and you don't feel like you're right on top of the people next to you."
$28 - $260 / night

"It did rain a couple times, but the fishing and off road trails and exploring are always great. This is always a go to spot for me in the summer!"
$28 - $56 / night
"The weather did not cooperate on this trip...which is Oregon. There is a big slope from the parking pad to the table/fire pit."
"Detroit Lake campground is spacious with 6 different camping loops and lots of RVs and trailers. Main negative is the proximity of the back of each loop to a busy state highway."
$25 - $50 / night
"This site has access to vault toilets, potable water. The sites are large enough for rv or tent sites with vehicle pull through."
"Whispering Falls is a small campground right off of OR22, near Mt Jefferson. We stopped here for to camp just one night on a hiking road trip between Opal Creek Wilderness and Sisters. "
"Each spot has--and I'm not sure why this is--a split rail fence around it."
"I love this campground because it's tucked away off of the highway and doesn't have a lot of people."
"If you want to test the waters fort backpacking this is a great trail to do it on. Only 3ish miles to the camp sites. All are first come, near water."
"Probably one of my favorite places in Oregon.
Maybe it is the lack of visits that keeps me longing to go back here, but the water was more blue than the Carribean, just 30 degree colder."
$25 / night
"This is a decent campground right off the highway. You will incur noise from the cars on the highway, even on the sites closer to the river."
"Some have full parking pads for two vehicles, but mostly parking is dirt next to the drive lane. Spacious sites for the size of the campground."
$22 - $63 / night
"If you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts."
"Probably the easiest accessibility to the most awesome waterfalls per few square miles in Oregon. Ample Parking and many different falls and trails to choose from"
ScoutThe campgrounds are very well kept. The staff were super friendly. Automatic firewood dispenser so you don’t need anyone there to get wood. Pretty close to town in case you forgot something. Everyone there really obeyed the 10PM noise ordinance. The campsites were pretty close together and I didn’t hear a single person after 10PM. They put on a power point for the kids about local animals. There were multiple day use areas to swim at just a two minute drive from there. The parking at some of the day use wasn’t great and they don’t allow dogs at the “beaches” which sucks because that’s the only place kids can comfortably swim. There’s also an incredible 7 mile hiking trail there. We stayed in the deschutes, it’s closer to the water than the crooked river.
GuideEverything is paved, the sites have nice clean picnic tables, and plenty of green Lush grass. The showers were clean and had good water pressure. I only stayed here one night but I would come again. There are a lot of permanent campers here but everything is kept clean, there is no junk. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. And they have delicious ice cream cones for a buck!
RangerSurprised we were able to snag a spot here on Memorial Day weekend! Drove in Sunday evening. Quite a few dispersed spots, kinda close to one another- everyone was respectful. The road behind this gets a great view of Mt. Hood!!
No amenities. Dry camping!
PACK IT OUT
LegendThis is the happiest place on RV Earth! What a beautiful park! Amazing trees of every kind and flowers and bushes all cared for meticulously. Great wi-fi. Management is exceptional! Indoor pool, multiple laundry rooms, rec room - all spotlessly clean. Close easy access to freeway but minimal noise. Full hookups of course, Wi-Fi is strong and fast, 48 channels of sharp cable TV picture. We are putting this on our A list and will return whenever we're passing through this area again. Two bars of 5G Verizon. Beautiful city soccer fields and park just outside the entrance to the park. Great place to walk and relax. Recommend.
TravelerNice little area. Went out the day after memorial weekend. Hoping the holiday campers would be gone. This area was still pretty full with campers when I showed up. For the most part everyone around me kept the noise down. One of the cleaner dispersed sites I’ve seen out here. Would imagine this place stays busy during the summer months. Decent amount of van lifers when I visited. Stayed 2 nights.
RangerDrove all the way out this way to stay at Steelhead Trail, but it was packed for the holiday weekend. Used my map to find closest BLM land and headed here. Actually pretty decent spot. You can hear the highway, but could prob get away from noise if you went back far enough. Dirt roads and a little bumpy but I wouldn’t see anyone having an issue getting in here. Also have 5G cell service with AT&T. Open skies for solar/starlink.
Only knocked down a star because there is a good bit of trash spread throughout the sites. Looks like a place some may come to party. Also here cows moping constantly from cow farm across the road lol
Overall a good safe spot to stop passing through.
GuideIt's a nice park for families, some of the spaces are very open. We did a couple hiking trails and drove to the lookouts.
ScoutElectrical has been good so far, but the water is dirty and filled with what appears to be iron. It has gone through my filter. So carry some portable water. Trees can fall. Sites are fairly level. Cabins have been boarded off. It's not fair from dispersed campsites. Water hookups are at odd angles inside water meter boxes, so hooking up can be challenging.
TravelerWe stayed here in a little tent and was a great night sleep. Loads of space to put a tent or park an RV. They have a vault toilet. Only half a mile to see the steelhead waterfall
