Southshore At Detroit Lake

The campground is awesome, and site#17 was pretty good. The weather did not cooperate on this trip...which is Oregon. There is a big slope from the parking pad to the table/fire pit. There is a fairly flat open area for tents, and access to a small private"beach" on the lake. Very doable to get kayaks or paddle boards down. 

  

Don't love when the table is between the fire pit and the view... sitting around the fire looking at your stuff is not why we camp with a view of water. Motorized boats allowed on the lake so not as peaceful as some other lakeside campgrounds. 

  

Worth trying again:)

Great lakeside sites

Campsites right next to the water! Awesome for kids and adults lots of things to do!

Awesome 

We were able to get a great spot right next to the water. Super quiet campground. This is my favorite spot on Detroit Lake.

SouthShore: Detroit Lake

Tis a narrow campsite between blowout road and Detroit lake. There are several large pads for vehicles, but mainly tent sites, some of which you park near the road and make a short walk in. Not being able to camp near your car may not be a bonus for you, but this helps with the road noise and the sound of your neighbors pulling up in the middle of the night.

Dog friendly, bathrooms, portable water pump. Mainly reserve sites.

Quiet and spacious

When I was asked if I wanted to go to Detroit lake, I thought we were going all the way to Michigan! But no this perfect little lake is a peaceful and fun filled getaway. Right in the heart of the Oregon state. Best used for swimming and enjoying friends company, it’s a bit of a drive but it’s so far out of the way, there’s no rush of the city anywhere. We will see you again Detroit Lake. 

Stunning 

A stunningly beautiful camp ground when the Detroit lake is not drawn down.

This is a very nice smaller camp ground its is the best for the south side of the lake in my opinion.

Sites are quite spacious though not very private.

The small walk in sites for smaller tents are much more private and have the greatest vews of the lake.

This is another busy summer time family campground but in the spring and fall its quiet and perfect for the solo camper.

There is water available and the hiosts have firewood.

Only bad thing is they close the gates at 10 PM..so be back from the Cedars Lounge in Detroit before then!

Great Lake Views

This campground offers easy access to the lake with motor boats and nice docks to fish from. The sites are spacious and have large fire rings. The camp host will enforce the quiet rules after 10pm…she’ll also remind you multiple times. We had multiple sites with approximately 25 people.
