Pamelia Lake
Pamelia Lake, near Mount Jefferson, Oregon, is a stunning spot for those who love the great outdoors and don’t mind a little hike to get there. This area is perfect for tent camping, with spacious sites that allow for a comfortable setup right by the water.
Visitors rave about the beautiful scenery, with mountain ranges framing the lake and plenty of trails nearby for hiking. One camper shared, “The trail is gentle and the basin the lake is in has great mountain ranges surrounding.” If you’re up for it, summiting Grizzly Peak offers breathtaking views of Mount Jefferson and the surrounding landscape.
Keep in mind that this location requires a special permit, which is awarded through a lottery system. Campers have noted the importance of bringing your own water filter, as the best water source is a stream about 0.4 miles away, and it’s best to avoid the lake due to algae blooms. As one reviewer put it, “Be sure to bring your own water filter!”
With no amenities like toilets or trash services, it’s essential to pack out what you bring in. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning natural beauty make Pamelia Lake a fantastic choice for a weekend getaway or a longer adventure in the wilderness.
