About
Dog Lake Campground is a peaceful lakeside destination in the Fremont-Winema National Forest, located approximately 55 minutes west of Lakeview, Oregon. The campground offers 20 campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Four vault toilets serve the area, but there is no potable water, so visitors must bring their own supply. Dog Lake is known for its excellent fishing and birdwatching. The lake attracts pelicans, geese, ducks, and other waterfowl. A boat ramp and fishing dock are available at the adjacent day-use area. Only electric motors and non-motorized boats are permitted, with a 5 mph speed limit on the lake. The parking area provides adequate trailer turnaround space. The campground operates with full services from May 15 through October 15, with reduced services during the off-season. Sites are first-come, first-served at $6 per night for a single site. Interagency Senior/Access passes provide a 50% discount. Drews Reservoir and Drews Creek are nearby for additional recreation options.
