Unity Lake State Recreation Site Campground
Unity Lake Recreation Site Campground near Unity, Oregon, is a cozy spot that offers a laid-back camping experience right by the water. With sites that provide stunning views of the lake, it’s a great place to kick back, enjoy a campfire, and soak in the beautiful sunsets.
The campground is equipped with clean restrooms and showers, which visitors appreciate after a day of outdoor activities. Many campers have enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the chance to fish, with one even sharing freshly caught trout with fellow campers. As one reviewer put it, “We camped right next to the lake... it was a perfect spot to camp.”
While the area is generally peaceful, be prepared for some afternoon winds that can pick up. The lack of shade from the small trees can make it a bit warm during hot weeks, but the grassy sites provide a nice place to relax. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with the option to enjoy some fishing or simply unwind by the water, Unity Lake is a solid choice.
