Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
What draws people here is water: fishing, powerboating, canoeing, swimming and water skiing on Blue River Reservoir are the primary on-site activities, and the campground provides quick access to boat launches and shore fishing spots. Hikers and natural-history fans can reach Buck Mountain Trail and the Lookout Creek Old Growth Trail from the area, and the West Cascades National Scenic Byway runs nearby for day drives and sightseeing.






Length limits vary by campsite.

“Nice camp with just the right amounts of sun and shade.”
“Biking, hiking, and kayaking all from the forested campground. ”
“We spent shy of a week at this wonderful location. More noise than we wanted from the Lookout campground, but we had such a great time and our camp host Leslie was absolutely 💯 the best. Great area and would highly recommend. Just be ready for the bugs and algae. ”

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 (2,604 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.
