Ochoco Lake County Park

This is a quiet and peaceful CG for boondocks. $25 for 1 night, 2 nights available without online booking. Lake is pretty when full.

It was good in a pinch. Lake was beautiful. Not many ppl there. Great spot. But… road noise is SO bad. The hosts were also completely non-responsive to calls, messages, in person approach attempts. They were not available for myself and other campers who paid to camp and did not have access to the toilet and shower facilities. Luckily we were able to get a code from another camper hours later.

Cute small campground on a little hill overlooking a lake.  Tent sites by the lake's edge. 
Very Clean bathrooms with code for campers. Pits for public areas. 
Since there are no RV services be prepared to hear some generators running occasionally.  Quiet hours 10PM-7AM.  Water is available but may not be close enough for a hose to your RV.  Most sites have good Starlink view of skies.

One of my favorite campgrounds! Stayed here for a rock climbing week at Smith Rock

A shady spot to put up our tent was most welcome. This campground is well-maintained. The bathrooms are clean. The showers are hot and the host was friendly and helpful. A downside is the proximity to the highway and the resulting noise.

81 rv full hookup sites tightly packed in a small area. Not much shade or privacy.

Tiny little campsite with spots right next to each other. 10 walk up tent sites, most are right along the water. Everyone is so close together you get to know your neighbors pretty well. Dogs must be on leashes at all times, walk up sites have porta potty style bathrooms but if you walk up to registration there’s hot showers and hookups available!

This location is certainly not rugged, but it has gorgeous views of the lake and a clean facility. All around good trip.

This lake is one of my most favorite places to visit. It has opportunity for hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and slower boating.

This is located just out of Prineville and can get a lot of local traffic in the summer months. It is a fairly nice CG, with bathrooms and hot water. CG is set up for RV or tent camping. Primary feature is access to the water.

This campground was great in so many ways. Lots of reservations were available in the days leading up to our trip. The campground we ended up reserving was very large and had great lake views. Not sure if it was the time of year we went or if it is always quiet but one night we had maybe 3 other campers in the campground. My one complaint would be the access to the lake is almost impossible. We brought our paddleboards with us but the water level was too low so the boat ramp was closed and the walk to the water was a lot further than we had anticipated. Despite that one obstacle, I would definitely stay here again. Also looks like it is a good place for fishing since I saw multiple people catching rather large fish all weekend.

Great sites and great host! Easy to get to lake from the campground and very peaceful!

You have to book online 2 days in advance, but they always have walk-in non reserved sites, that don't fill up! There's a few right on the water. In my opinion they were better than the actual campsite. The sites seem close to other campers, but not the walk-in sites (pro tip) $5 firewood is sold by the camp host. Freshwater in easily accessible. Perfect for stargazing in meteor shower.
