Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights3 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The campground gives immediate access to Cougar Reservoir for boating, swimming and shoreline fishing, and it serves as a convenient base for hiking and day trips in the surrounding Cougar Recreation Area and Willamette National Forest. Nearby trails and destinations include Rebel Creek into the Three Sisters Wilderness, the French Pete and Box Canyon trails, Indian Ridge Lookout, and several shorter day hikes; Terwilliger Hot Springs at Rider Creek is a popular day-use soak after a day on the lake.











Length limits vary by campsite.

“Beautiful and secluded. Lots of space between sites. It's definitely a more rugged camping experience, but worth it if you're up for the hike. :-) One thing to be aware of with site 10, there are a lot of exposed tree roots and rocks that can be a tripping hazard.”

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 (908 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.
