First come, first servedA forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Link Creek Campground sits along the wooded shore of Suttle Lake, about 13 miles northwest of Sisters off Highway 20/126 before a short turn onto the forest road that serves the Suttle Lake recreation area. The lake itself is clear and relatively deep about 253 acres with an average depth of 44 feet and supports kokanee, brown trout, whitefish and crayfish, making it a steady draw for anglers.













Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (9,565 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.
