About
Nestled in the sagebrush rangelands west of Silver Lake's dry lake bed, Duncan Reservoir Campground is a free primitive camping destination managed by the BLM Lakeview District. The campground consists of four individual campsites on the west side of the reservoir and a group campsite on the north end below the dam. Facilities include a vault toilet, boat ramp, covered picnic area, picnic tables, and fire grates. The reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout, making it a popular fishing spot. Canoeing and other non-motorized boating are excellent here. During winter months, ice fishing is possible if the reservoir freezes over. The drive in on County Road 4-14 offers occasional glimpses of Silver Lake, Table Rock, and herds of pronghorn antelope. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out area with no potable water, food, or gas available. The nearest services are in Silver Lake, Fort Rock, and Summer Lake. The 5-mile stretch of County Road 4-14 is gravel and can be rough, so plan accordingly.
Directions
From Silver Lake, Oregon, travel east for 5 miles on State Highway 31. Turn south on County Road 4-14 and continue another 5 miles to Duncan Reservoir Campground. Be aware of livestock grazing on the open range, especially near OR 31.
