About

Blair Lake Campground occupies a scenic high-elevation alpine setting along the north shore of Blair Lake, approximately 18 miles northeast of Oakridge, Oregon. This small, primitive campground offers seven tent-only sites: four walk-in sites for those seeking more solitude and three vehicle-accessible sites. The small, unimproved parking area is best suited for smaller vehicles, and trailers are not accommodated. Blair Lake spans 35 acres and reaches depths of 20 feet, supporting populations of brook and rainbow trout that are stocked regularly. The surrounding landscape delivers impressive wildflower displays in early summer and abundant huckleberry picking opportunities in late summer and early autumn. The historic Blair Lake Trail originates nearby, providing access for day hikers, equestrians, and off-road cyclists to explore the high-elevation prairies and forests of the Willamette National Forest.

Directions

From the Oakridge Post Office (48264 East 1st Street), drive east on East 1st for 0.7 miles where it becomes Salmon Creek Road (Forest Road 24 past the National Forest boundary). Follow Salmon Creek Road/FR 24 for 8.2 miles to the junction with Forest Road 1934 on the left. Turn left on FR 1934 and follow for 7.4 miles to Forest Road 1934-733. Take the 733 spur for 1.5 miles to its end at the campground.
