Favorite Place to Get Away

This is my favorite place to get away with my two daughters. The sites are well spaced with a lot of plant life between them to provide some privacy. There is a path that goes around the small lake, and if you time it right the fishing is great.

as agreed very secluded

I drove in today to find a place to camp. The park is very clean and so are the toilets. Only draw back for me was not enough open sites for solar power and wet due to recent rains will try it some day.

Secluded!

I pulled in on a Wednesday to find plenty of open spots. It’s a gorgeous area with plenty to do if you like to hike/explore.

The lake is small - just a hair larger than a pond. At night, frogs will serenade you as the moon peeks through the trees.

By Friday morning, all spots were taken. Show up early!

feels like a hidden gem

I only stayed for a night, but it was a quiet and peaceful one. I awoke to golden, mossy trees and the smell of pine (or cedar?). The lake is quite pretty. But the trees and smell of damp earth are what did it for me. Camp host was friendly as well. What more can you ask for!

Awesome campground

If your looking for a campground that isn’t over run and up in the mountains this one is for you. Great size sites , 2 sites are reservable others are first come first serve. Great little lake for canoeing or kayaking. Little fishing docs located at several areas around the lake.

My favorite place

My absolute favorite place to camp in Oregon!!!! Always clean, quite, peaceful, and just perfect!!!! The fishing is always great and when the onshore flow comes over the trees, it's nothing short of a miracle and magic.
