## Overview

 Inlet Campground is nestled along the North Umpqua River where the forest of lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock and Shasta red fir meet Lemolo Lake, the highest reservoir on the North Umpqua River at an elevation of 4,150 feet.
## Recreation

 Boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing and water skiing top the list of recreational activities near the campground. Lemolo Lake provides outdoor enthusiasts with a multitude of recreational opportunities year round. The forested shoreline and mountainous backdrop provide a perfect setting for both swimmers braving the lake\'s cold, refreshing waters, and for anglers casting lines from boat or beach. Populations of German brown trout, Eastern brook trout, rainbow trout and kokanee salmon thrive in the lake which reaches depths of up to 100 feet in places. For waterfall seekers, nearby Lemolo Falls Trail is a steep traverse that drops down into North Umpqua Canyon for a view of Lemolo Falls as it cascades 150 feet to the canyon bottom. A spur trail accesses the bottom of the canyon below the falls.
## Facilities

 This campground has 13 standard sites, all sites are available by reservation only. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings and grills. Vault toilets are available. There is no drinking water available and trash service is limited, please pack out all garbage.

Inlet Campground

We camped here in January of 2021, and there were several campsites available, though this was on of the few campsites in the area that was open. The campground had two pit toilets available, and the one nearest our campsite seemed clean, the other one had a stronger odor, and we did not try using that one. 

Many of the campsites are near the creek, and there were several pull-through site available for trailers and RVs.

The area is pretty and there are a couple of trails that leave from the campground. There is a lot of hiking in the general area, especially if you like waterfalls. While we stayed at the campsite, we took the opportunity to ski around diamond lake, which was a lot of fun, though more popular with snow-mobilers.
