Gateway to the steens

Great sites especially in fall with aspen groves. Dusty road but all gravel- drove in with my little Nissan Sentra just fine. Water and pit toilets, access to fishing, canoe, swimming altho a little muddy at times. Wildflowers and access to blm land.

Check out the link to a video of our camping trip to Fish Lake Campground.

This is my favorite place to camp. Beautiful views, outstanding action packed trout fishing. Far away from anything. Nice restrooms and natural spring is plumbed in to the campground. Best water I have ever tasted. This place is awesome, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful lake and views!

Fish Lake Campground is up above Halfway, OR. It is a pine forested high elevation (6,990ft) Campground on NFD Rd. 66.

The campground on the lake is a pay site (6$ /night) with on site water and metal fire pits and vault toilets. However there is other sites that are dispersed nearby on NFD Rd. 66 and NFD Rd. 6625 along the road to DeadMans Trail. #1867. There is 2 sites at the end loop of the pay sites that are dispersed sites and lack tap for water and has a rock fire pit. Both have access to older vault toilets.

Beautiful in the morning!
