Mallard Marsh Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Reservations are available at this drive-in campground on Hosmer Lake in Deschutes National Forest, with sites running $24–$26 per night during the May through September season. The access road is rough, so drivers with larger rigs should note the 40-foot RV limit and plan accordingly. Sites are spread out with tree cover providing shade and separation between neighbors. No drinking water is available on-site, so campers need to arrive with a full supply. Pets are welcome, and the boat launch gives paddlers direct access to Hosmer Lake. South Campground - Hosmer Lake (OR) sits just 0.1 miles away for those wanting a nearby alternative. Amenities are minimal beyond pit toilets and trash service, so pack everything you need before heading in.

Many campers appreciated the spacious, private sites with mountain and lake views in a peaceful, remote setting. Guests commonly noted excellent kayaking opportunities and clean facilities, though the lack of drinking water requires planning ahead.

Warm Summer- Good for Kayak - NO DRINKING WATER

We spent several nights in Aug 2022. Weather was war, the Kayaking on the Lake and Marshes was very fun. Hosner Lake is super clear. There was however NO drinking water in the campground. We had to go to a nearby campground to fill our water containers.

Beautiful campground with great views and access to Hosmer Lake

This is a great campground with big campsites offering mountain and lake views. There is a nice boat launch area that gives you access to beautiful Hosmer Lake. The campground is a ways off the beaten path so it offers some quietness and solitude.

One of the best!

Such a unique, private and picturesque camping area. The lake and streams are absolutely perfect for kayaking and canoeing. Canoe rentals available near one of the lakeside camping sites. Spread out sites with plenty of surrounding trees for shade and privacy. Primative pit toilets were clean and well maintained. The trails around the lake and around Mallard Marsh area are perfect for dogs and children. Mallard Marsh is one of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen. The abundance of wildlife, stocked pond with both Atlantic Salmon and huge trout, and miles of trails make this an unforgettable campground. The campground is miles off the maIn road. Wood can be purchased, but not much else. Don’t forget anything!
