Beautiful lakefront camping, close to highway
The Detroit Lake campsite is really nice because it is right on the water, with an incredible view of Mt. Jefferson on a clear day. It is worth noting that the water level here fluctuates quite a bit, and if you visit in late summer or early fall, the lake level is usually so low that it is not really as scenic, or as good to swim in. There are great facilities at the campsite that are very clean. They sell firewood there as well.
