No sites offered for these datesA forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Mallard Marsh Campground sits on the reed-lined north shore of Hosmer Lake, roughly 35 miles southwest of Bend along the Cascade Lakes Highway with a short drive east on Forest Road 4625; you'll pass South Campground before arriving at Mallard Marsh. The lake is shallow and unusually clear water drains through a porous lava rim at the north end so trout and salmon are often visible near the surface.













Length limits vary by campsite.

“Mallard Marsh is our favorite campground. Love the access to the lake, ample parking, and area has enough space for several tents as well as our camper. We’ll continue our yearly family camping trip!”
“Always a wonderful place to visit. At a time when surrounding recreation areas were crowded and noisy, it was quiet and peaceful in camp. ”

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 (3,052 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.
