Choose site carefully if raining

This is a nice State campground right on Devil’s Lake. It has several sites with full hookups. Unfortunately when it rains, sites in B loop flood which makes camping a muddy mess. Stay with the A loop for trailers or C loop for tents. We enjoyed our visit. The campground has access to the lake for kayaks/canoes and moorage for boats. Sites are shaded and most have shrubs or trees for separation. Sites have size limits. Restrooms were clean overall. We would definitely stay again.

Easy Access to South Sister

I stayed here alone the night before I hiked up South Sister.

There are a decent amount of people who come this way, even on the SS trail... except when you start at 3AM there is no one.

Highly recommend staying here, either for the lake or it’s proximity to so many other great hikes

You are also really close to an open meadow with a creek running through it right off the road 126, but seriously it’s a stunning vantage point.

Not your beach lame

There are two Devil’s lake campground. This one in particular is along the subalpine Devil’s Lake of central Oregon (NOT the beach) - sorry, no yurts, cabins, or marketplaces here.

It’s pretty amazing, though, as long as you plan for it! There are no drive-up sites, they’re all walk-ins. This is the access point for local trails like the PCT and South Sister summit trail.

Just a day at the lake is great though! I’ve spent a lot of time scrambling around this area and camping at Devil’s lake. Definitely worth it for a slightly more “rustic” adventure!
