About
Campbell Lake Campground is a scenic high-elevation retreat located about 80 minutes southwest of Paisley, Oregon in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The campground offers 18 campsites spread along the shores of Campbell Lake, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Three vault toilets serve the camping area, with potable water available from a hand pump. Garbage service is provided from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Campbell Lake is stocked with rainbow trout, making it a popular destination for anglers. The lake's grassy and pebbly shoreline also invites swimming and wading. A boat ramp accommodates non-motorized and electric motor boats, with a 5 mph speed limit in effect. Additional day-use facilities include extra picnic tables and another vault toilet. The campground serves as a gateway to the Lakes Trail System, which connects Campbell Lake to nearby Deadhorse Lake via interconnected loops suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Campers should be aware that trails in this area pass through the Bootleg Fire footprint and may encounter hazards from dead and fallen trees.
