Beautiful spot

Beautiful location with a nice little creek running through. The water was amazingly clear and nice and cool. Great views of Mt. Bachelor. Good service with Verizon. Unfortunately squirrels and chipmunks are a big problem and VERY comfortable with humans. They were pretty aggressively trying to get my food and I could hear them trying to get into my car at night. There is only one bathroom and it stunk to high heaven. The only public access is near site 3, Unfortunately the camper who rented site 3 during my stay, parked his car on this path and I had to walk around it to use the bathroom. Most of the sites are relatively small but the first 2 are large enough to accommodate RVs.

Incredible views of the Sisters and Broken Top

This is a very small and primitive developed campground near Mount bachelor. The campground has only 10 sites (reservable) and they all have at least partial views of the Sisters and Brokentop. A small creek runs by it and add to the picturesque scene. Pit toilet and garbage are the only amenities. Good AT&T cell reception

Beautiful views

We have gone here twice and each time have done different activities. The last time we brought kayaks and paddled down the curvy stream to the main lake, which was very shallow! The evening air is crisp even in the summer which I enjoy after a long hot day hiking on the many trails in the area. There are a few sites here that I prefer which are the closest to the end of the campground next to the creek. We have not had any fellow campers while we were there but we go in the middle of the week due to the high traffic on the weekends. It is a little bit more open so if you want privacy bring some tapestries. I wouldn't bring a rv or anything, maybe a camper on a pick up truck.

Mountains

Every site has a Mountain View. Sites right next to dirt road so it can be pretty dusty.

Recommend the island lifestyle

Adventure beyond this campground and you can camp on any island in Sparks Lake. Insane views of South Sister and Bachelor. Very isolated and fairly accessible. Great spot for those who have kayaks or rafts.

One of the best in central Oregon

Amazing location right on the edge of a huge meadow where Soda Creek flows through to Sparks Lake. You have views of South Sister, Broken Top, and Mt. Bachelor and Sparks Lake is right around the corner... you can't go wrong with coming here. In the summer the dust can be slightly overwhelming but the scenery makes up for it.
