A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
The broader John Redmond Reservoir provides the activities that draw visitors here: nearly 10,000 acres of water and 30,000 acres of surrounding public land for boating, water sports, fishing (look for white crappie, white bass, channel and flathead catfish, plus sunfish), hunting, hiking and wildlife viewing. Several trails thread the hills and shoreline, and the Otter Creek ATV area at the west end of the dam offers about 140 acres of trails for dirt bikes and ATVs (open sunrise to sunset).
Length limits vary by campsite.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,533 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
