About
Devils Lake Campground is a primitive hike-in campground offering 10 tent-only sites on the shores of Devils Lake, a striking 23-acre turquoise lake formed by a lava flow. Located about 30 miles southwest of Bend along the Cascade Lakes Highway, the shallow lake has an average depth of just over three feet with a maximum depth of 10 feet. The campground serves as a primary gateway to the Three Sisters Wilderness and is one of the most popular starting points for hiking South Sister. Small non-motorized boats and rafts can be launched near the campground, and the lake is stocked with catchable rainbow trout along with a natural population of brook trout. The easy shoreline access makes it an excellent fishing spot for families. This is a walk-in only campground with parking at the South Sisters/Devils Lake Trailhead. Facilities are limited to vault toilets; there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own. A recreation pass ($5/day or Northwest Forest Pass) is required for parking. A Central Cascades Wilderness Permit is required for both day and overnight use from June 15 through October 15.
Directions
From Bend, travel about 29 miles west on Cascade Lakes Highway (Highway 46). Turn left at the sign for Devils Lake Trailhead.
