About
Fish Lake Campground is located 39 miles east of Medford, Oregon, on the northern shore of Fish Lake at 4,639 feet elevation. The campground occupies a beautiful setting in old-growth forest with views of Mount McLoughlin across the water. The lake's southern shore is bordered by a 2,000-year-old lava flow from Brown Mountain. Fish Lake is a 483-acre reservoir supplied by over 45 underground volcanic streams, providing excellent fishing opportunities.
The campground offers 20 sites: 17 standard nonelectric sites that accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs, plus 3 walk-in tent-only sites. All sites include picnic tables and fire rings. Facilities include flush toilets with wash basins, potable water, a fish cleaning station, gray water sumps, and garbage disposal. A boat launch is located within the campground, and the lake has a 10 mph speed limit.
Numerous trails are accessible from the campground, including Fish Lake Trail, High Lakes Trail, Brown Mountain Trail, and the Pacific Crest Trail. The Sky Lakes Wilderness and Mount McLoughlin trailhead are less than an hour away. Fish Lake Resort, within walking distance, provides a convenience store, cafe, and lodging. Nearby campgrounds include Doe Point and North Fork.
