What an amazing weekend! We got SO lucky and found the ONLY walk up site on the 4th of July. Snagged it as the ground before was pulling out. It must have been fate because we needed this beauty of a weekend to relax and recharge.

So the campground itself is long and skinny. Which is nice because although it was completely full, the campsites are spread out and EVERY SINGLE SITE is either on the water or has a water view. This campground sits on the inside of Newberry National Volcanic Monuments sunken caldera on the shores of Paulina lake. Although we didn’t have any luck fishing, supposedly the rainbow trout are abundant and can be caught from shore.

We snagged campsite number 31. At first I was bummed because it was on the other side of the road from the water but after the weekend I can tell you that this site is PERFECT for a warm weekend. Our site was in the shade most of the day but there is no campsite directly across from us so the lake was in clear view and we could walk down there with ease.

Oh and can’t leave out how awesome our camp host was. Jeff!! Checked on us regularly. Was friendly and made sure the toilets stayed clean.

We will definitely be coming back.
