"This is another Oregon state park gem... best to visit offseason if you are not a boater, jet skier or love motor noise. I go every spring and get a spot overlooking the lake/reservoir. "
"It's a very popular Oregon State Park and I'm sure summer requires advance planning. The weekend we were there was pretty full and our site was at the top of the B loop. "
"Rght next to Fair-when it is in town!"
"Camp host was nice, easy access to sites. Showers/bathrooms clean but dated."
TravelerThis is another Oregon state park gem... best to visit offseason if you are not a boater, jet skier or love motor noise. I go every spring and get a spot overlooking the lake/reservoir. Ice and firewood available. Hot showers and nice bathrooms. This time of year I sleep in my car and so having full bathroom facilities is nice. A great horned owl visited the tree next to my site at 1:00 am and hooted away. Very nice. This is also a dark sky park and if the moon is not bright the stars are amazing. There is a hike you can take along the shore of the reservoir - 4 miles out and back. Great geology as well.
LegendWe were able to score a couple of nights here in Early May. It's a very popular Oregon State Park and I'm sure summer requires advance planning. The weekend we were there was pretty full and our site was at the top of the B loop. Monday, however, the park cleared out to much fewer campers. The lake was actually mostly full and the views were beautiful. Some of the amenities were boating, of course, lake views from some sites, a nice dog park along with the normal state park fare. We'll definitely make another trip!
GuideThis popular lakeside campsite is perfect for your water-based adventures. The reservoir is really pretty and has great fishing. Some of the campsites have really nice shade, while others have stunning views over the lake. The cabins are super nice and reasonably priced too.
GuideWhat a great spot to get away from the [pollen in the Willamette valley and just a short drive over Hwy 20 from Salem.
The Juniper trees are amazing and the fish cleaning station was built using them.

TravelerWhile other cabins overlook the reservoir, the dog friendly one is perched uphill by the park entrance. There is still a view from the front porch of the reservoir, and the side window looks out on the hillside where the deer amble on down to the water from. The medium sized campground spills down the hill to the reason everyone goes there, the reservoir. The campground was nearly empty after spring break, yet had many day visitors to the boat ramp and fishing platform. The wind made fishing from the dock cold and uncomfortable, moving to the shore right beside it fixed that issue. The vault toilets in the fishing and boating areas were large and spotlessly clean.
TravelerThe educational programs are outstanding! The amenities are well cared for and the surroundings are incredible!
GuideStayed two nights at end of June. Reservoir is full but has algae bloom along shore. Firewood and ice is available to purchase on site. bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept. Sites near the water have a nice breeze sometimes. Some sites have partial shade. roads and campsite drives are paved.
