I cannot believe I've never been to Olallie Lake before now. Really amazing! It's not that hard to get to from Portland, follow the Clackamas River where there are lots of other great campgrounds. Olallie Lake is further down the road and the last 5 miles or so are on a pretty bumpy dirt road. So, not too far but just hard enough to get to that crowds of people may not go there. And there are lots of other campgrounds in the area so lots of options if the one you 're going to is full.

We stayed at site 29, mainly because we got there in the dark and it was hard to see what the sites were like. It was actually one of the few sites not right on the water. But still a great site because it had lots space for our 3 tents, good sun/shade balance during the day, and less cold wind than I think we would have had down on the lake.

Site 30 is across the way and overlooks the lake. Great spot for one tent but could not fit more than that. (see video)

Down at the end of the peninsula are several walk in sites. You barely have to "walk in" so fine for car camping. I think these are the best spots. You will see my videos of Site 15 and Site 18 (18 would be good for a group) but just beyond that is Site 19 which is at the very tip of the peninsula and the perfect little secluded spot. It's the sort of camping spot you dream of! The only slight little problem with it is that you kind of have to walk through other peoples' site to get to it. But still worth it.

Plenty of clean pit toilets around the campground.
