About
Grande Ronde Lake Campground is one of three campgrounds in the Anthony Lakes Recreation Area, located in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Situated above Grande Ronde Lake at high elevation in a cool pine-fir forest, the campground offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding meadows with the Elkhorn Mountains as a backdrop. The campground features 8 tent/trailer sites, three of which are ADA accessible. Each site includes a paved parking apron, picnic table, and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets are available, but campers must bring their own water as no potable water is provided. The peaceful setting makes it ideal for fishing, canoeing, day hiking, and outdoor photography. Grande Ronde Lake permits only non-motorized boats, creating a quiet atmosphere for paddlers and anglers. The campground is accessed via the scenic Elkhorn Drive (Forest Road 73), about a mile past Anthony Lake Ski Area. Due to its high elevation location, the campground operates seasonally from July through September and is closed during winter months due to snow.
