About

Goose Lake State Recreation Area is a peaceful lakeside destination on the Oregon-California border, situated along the banks of Goose Lake, a large seasonal lakebed that typically holds water in spring. The campground features 48 electrical sites with water hookups spread throughout a shaded, grassy setting that provides a cool oasis in this remote corner of Lake County. The park is renowned for wildlife viewing, particularly a large herd of mule deer that regularly spend time in the campground. Birdwatchers will find excellent opportunities to spot numerous species, including bald eagles, loggerhead shrikes, greater sage grouse, and migratory waterfowl that rest at the lake during spring migration when water levels are highest. The park's grassy expanses and proximity to the lakebed make it an ideal location for observing wildlife in their natural habitat. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis only with no advance reservations accepted. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station. A fenced pet recreation area is available in the day-use area. The campground is located 14 miles south of Lakeview off US Highway 395, providing a quiet retreat for those exploring southern Oregon's high desert country.
