A wonderful place to unclutter your mind and renew your spirit!

Very relaxing

A paved but lightly potholed road leads to this secluded campground. Our site #13 was situated by the lake near the narrow paved trail that circles the lake. There were few people there and the night was quiet. The vault toilets were open but the water was turned off. Camp host site but no camp host. Most of the sites were in pine forest but ours seemed to be the one closest to the lake. There is a fishing pier and day use parking. There are black bears so secure your food. 

Secluded campground by small lake

This tucked away lake and campground in the Umatilla National Forest is amazing. As you drive there you think what the heck. It’s dry and straw looking as far as the eye can see. Then you get closer and it starts turning green. Then you get to the area and it’s like an oasis in the midst of agri land.  

The lake is great for fishing or floating with non motorized vehicles.   And from the shore, great camping spots.  I parked my small rv right next to lake. Was super. 

There is a paved trail around the lake for walks or hikes.  And everyone seems to observe quiet hours. 

Toilets are scattered around and very clean.  

Excellent camping location!

Nice camp site clean  family friendly   A lil too family friendly lots of kids and dogs and lots of mosquitoes  but other that Than that it was nice I will definitely be back

Nice campground 

We spent two nights here in mid-September. It was not super busy and that probably made our trip more enjoyable. A lot of the campsites are isolated by trees so you actually have some privacy and there is a decent amount of shade. However, be prepared to walk a little to the vault toilets, which were some of the cleanest we’ve used. The camp host Jody was super helpful and brought us a bunch of firewood. The lake is best for kayaking/paddle boarding. The lake is very clear in the middle but the edges have very tall sea weed.
