We were in campsite #1 for the first 2 nights. It's nice because it's close to the Tam McArthur trailhead so if you have permits to hike the trail that's convenient. The trailhead is really busy though so there was a bit of noise in the mornings from hikers parking and getting ready to go. Campsite #1 doesn't really have beachfront, you have to walk a ways through some rocks and little trees to get to the lake but there is a nice little SUP launch when you get there. The last night we were in campsite #5 which has a nice large flat area for parking an RV and it has great flat tent areas closer to the beach. There is great beach access here and good shade too. The only thing is, there is a small parking area across the road from the campsite that people use as trailhead parking for the Little Three Creeks Lake trail, so it's not very private in the mornings when the hikers show up. I didn't see a camp host the entire time we were there but someone did come and clean the restrooms and empty the garbage cans. Bugs were not bad at all! Was there July 30 - Aug 2nd. No cell service in camp but if you walk up the Tam or Little 3 Creeks trails a bit you can get a signal. Beautiful place!

It is very close to my house. Im in Sisters. Its my favorite campground in this area. Campground is clean and well maintained. New comers should know it is a dry campground except for the lake.

No reservations. This is a nightmare. Leave our campgrounds alone. Greed. Money hungry. Tons of empty sites. People don’t show up. This is a failure.

Even though we had reserved our campsite weeks in advance, there was someone set up in our campsite when we arrived. We searched for a camp host for over an hour before determining that there was no host. After talking to the individual in our site, we learned that he did not find a reserved sign on the campsite post and had already paid for the site...that we also had already paid for. It was incredibly frustrating when we had a reservation that we paid for in advance and the site was not available.

Comparatively spacious sites. Pretty setting. It would be nice if I didn’t have to listen to drones though.

We loved the area with our two small kids. Especially the warm lake and mountain view.

Signage at the entrance could be improved regarding COVID response, garbage information, and hours/closures for lake house and/or boat rentals. We stuck to the campsite and had a fine time but would feel more knowledgeable if we could go back and do it again.

Be prepared to pack out all of your trash.

Try not to take a low clearance car like we did (2012 Odyssey - minivan) as the road there is gravel and hard to navigate in the last mile.

Print out your own map for day hiking in the area before you go.

Bring your own water, floatation devices, and lots of sunscreen.

Someone was in my campsite #5 when I got there as my name was NOT on the sign. Bummer.
