There was an accident just before the turnoff . We waited over an hour in stand still traffic and 98 weather and nobody updated us. No cel service. A guy ran to the front and told everyone to turn around as the road was closed. I have no idea what happened and was never informed but drove home - 5 hours in boiling heat I think someone shouldve been telling the traffic what to do.

This was my first time at this lake and it instantly jumped up to my favorite campground in Oregon!! Absolutely perfect lake for paddleboarding and Kayaking. Amazing access to to the lake as well very short walk to the water from all the campsites. Some campsites are alongside the lake with direct access!

Excellent campsite (002) near the water with plenty of space for a trailer and 2 tents. Even with constant rain the entire trip, the area was lovely. Can't even imagine how wonderful it would be on a nice day!

North Arm Campground is the best maintained and cared for campground in the Cascades. Pauline takes care of the campsites and bathrooms as though she was caring for her own home.
@TracyNAEBE6BE0 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #13
One of our favorite places to visit. We come here multiple times a year. Its quiet and restful.
@CharlesL794562 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #3
Excellent, quiet, and relaxing, during the week. The campground itself is very casual, however the lake can become quite busy on the weekends and holidays
@MarkP6983494 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #13
One of the cleanest and most organized campgrounds Ive been to. Secluded from the other campgrounds in the area with only about a dozen spots. Perfect for SUP/kayaking right at the campground boat ramp and perfectly situated at the less windy end of the lake.
@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #4
Nice and quiet, well maintained. Being located on the arm, it drowns out the noise from the other campgrounds. My new go to campground.

@CareyG16A2F428 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #11
Clean, quiet, and BEAUTIFUL. We hiked and kayaked. The only negative was the mosquitos. We forgot bug spray and a citronella candle. Definitely recommend this campground.
@LarsB2686584 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #11
Everything was good except the Mosquitoes.Understandable because of the fire restrictions.

The Smoke intensity made it a very enjoyable experience! Actually!
@LucasB3EE82400 · Camped on Aug 23, 2023 at Campsite #8
It was beautiful. Campsites were well layed out, clean, and level. Bathrooms were clean and without any bad odors. Host was very friendly and the other campers followed the quiet times. Nice trip, even the weather cooperated! I highly recommend the north arm of Timmy lake!
@ErinQ0C11E5EA8 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #4
One of my favorite places and the hosts are FANTASTIC! Would be nice to have a couple more day use parking spots but...can't have everything.
@KennethL604255 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #11
Clean Bathrooms, friendly and helpful hosts, quiet evenings. Suggest a few more speed bumps. Many drivers have trouble adhering to the 5 mph speed limit and going over that churns up alot of dust. Great place to kayak or paddleboard - sheltered from the main lake.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
