Camping at Ivan Oakes Campground near Lowell

Public campground · Lowell · 23 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Ivan Oakes Campground sits on the northern shore of Lookout Point Lake in the Calapooya Mountains, about 22 miles southeast of Eugene and within easy reach of the Willamette National Forest. The Eugene-to-Pacific Crest Trail runs along the campground, so hikers can step directly onto a long-distance route that links Eugene to the Cascades, and anglers will find the reservoir a reliable spot for chinook salmon, walleye, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and crappie.

How far ahead to book Ivan Oakes Campground

For May weekends, book about 119 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 79 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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.
