Reaching Fourmile Lake Campground requires driving roughly 7 to 8 miles on a dirt road off Highway 140, so high-clearance vehicles are worth considering despite the 88-foot RV maximum length listed. Sites are reservable, run $26 to $50 per night, and reviewers note the layout gives most campers room to spread out, with a mix of open and more private spots. Amenities include drinking water, pit toilets, picnic tables, and trash service. No showers on-site. Starlink works here, though there is no WiFi. The lake sits close enough to the sites that fishing, kayaking, and boating are accessible without a long walk. Anglers and paddlers who want direct water access alongside campgrounds near Winema National Forest will find this a practical base.

Natural Features
The 113,400-acre Sky Lakes Wilderness occupies the crest of the High Cascades, extending south from the boundary of Crater Lake National Park to Fourmile Lake. The wilderness has gentle, densely forested terrain with occasional steep areas. The name derives from the many small lakes, most of them clustered in several glacial basins near the crest of the Cascade Range. Several species of trees including Shasta red fir, western white pine, mountain hemlock, lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce and whitebark pine are found throughout the area. The forest's understory is dominated by species of huckleberry, as well as manzanita, snowbrush, and heather.
