Sunset Campground at Lake of the Woods

Within Winema National Forest, Sunset Campground at Lake of the Woods provides Forest Service camping with direct lake access from May through September. The campground accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with electric hookups and paved pads, while also offering boat-in and walk-in sites for varied camping preferences.

Large, well-spaced sites sit under old growth forest cover, with many offering lake views less than 100 yards from the water. Campers report rocky beaches where "lots of swimmers, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing" activities take place throughout the day. The maintained facilities include flush toilets that reviewers consistently note are kept very clean, though no showers are available. Generator use is permitted and common well into evening hours.

A lakeside trail connects the campground to a day-use area and resort within about a mile, providing access to a restaurant, store, and boat rentals. The Forest Service actively clears diseased trees, leaving firewood available when fire restrictions allow. Alan C. notes that "most sites are reserved but mid week (Wednesday) on 9/3 most of the FCFS were open at check in."

Cell service runs limited with half-bar AT&T coverage. Reserve ahead for weekends, but first-come sites often remain available midweek.

Visitors often highlighted the large, private sites with paved pads set in old growth forest directly on Lake of the Woods. Multiple campers commented on clean facilities and helpful hosts, though generator noise was occasionally noted as a concern.

Great national forest campground

Almost all the pads are paved. Bathrooms are flush and kept very clean. Large well separated sites. Most sites are reserved but mid week (Wednesday) on 9/3 most of the FCFS were open at check in.

I had a blast on my dad's friends pontoon boat. He let me take 2 of my girlfriends and my boyfriend with us. We all had such a blast. It was a really nice day too. Definitely a trip to remember.

Clean, wooded, lakeside

Nice & helpful hosts, several sites set aside for first come, first serve. Arrived on mid afternoon Sunday with no reservation and was able to get a lake view site. Short walk (<100yds) to lake with rocky beaches. Lots of swimmers, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, flush toilets, no showers. Forest service has been clearing dead/diseased trees, so lots of firewood laying around if they’re allowing fires. Nice lakeside trail, maybe a mile, to the day use area, resort/marina with restaurant, store, pizza, boat rentals. Mostly rv’s, deducting a star because they allow generators, which seem very popular, well into the evening. 1/2 bars of AT&T service.

Old growth woods right on the lake

This is a great campground with large sites that are deep in old growth cover. Camp sites are nicely spaced so that you have lots of privacy. It does close for the winter and can be very busy at times. Nice proximity to Crater lake as well as day hikes.

Drive into Sunset on a Saturday expecting to not find any spots available but to our surprise one had just been vacated. The grounds were beautiful, deep in the forest, right on the lake. We loved staying here and will be back. A great find for those with big rigs.

Pleasantly quiet and wonderfully beautiful.

Woodsy relaxation

Great campsite right on the Lake of the Woods in Southern Oregon. Perfect spot to get away from the valleys heat. Easy to step to the water from your campsite, or in a boat or just watch the kids from the private yet easily accessible lakefront. Campsites are not too close to your neighbors, yet close to restrooms. Easy to drive to the lodge and get snacks or supplies, gas...but secluded enough that you don't feel crowded. Definitely recommend.
