Sweet Little Place not far from Bend

This is a pristine campground.  Great Bathrooms (although they were drop, there isn't running water). Spacious campsites.  If you go in late June the inlet the campground is on is mostly dried up, but the boat launch was still usable. Would recommend.

Early season

Camped for a night at Little Fawn earlier this week and had the campground entirely to myself. There were several people using the day use area who left after dark. Campsite #3 was perfect to pull through and park my car to sleep in my rooftop tent. The site backed up to a large field that used to be deep-ish pond. A bit windy and lots of mosquitos, but quiet and felt somewhat secluded. Good cell service for Verizon users. Fire pits and picnic tables at every site as well as pit toilets and garbage dumpsters nearby. Great beach area in the day use spot, perfect for a day on the water and a fire as the sun goes down.

Amazing spot close to the lake

Although I did not stay directly in the campground, I was able to find a peaceful spot on the beach next to the campground. Amazing view of stars and an incredibly warm lake to play in. One of my favorite spots thus far.
