Hebo Lake Campground is an ideal destination for campers seeking a secluded, quiet forest getaway in the Siuslaw National Forest. Located on Mt. Hebo at 1,650 feet elevation, this small family campground features 12 campsites nestled among western hemlock, Douglas fir, and red alder trees that provide welcome shade on hot summer days. The centerpiece is a popular 3-acre lake stocked with rainbow trout, surrounded by five accessible fishing docks. The campground offers the half-mile Hebo Lake Loop Trail for a pleasant walk around the lake, with nearby access to the Pioneer-Indian Trail for longer hikes. A historic picnic shelter, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937 and restored in 2016, is available for day-use reservations for groups up to 25 people. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. The campground is cashless, and visitors are encouraged to pay online via Recreation.gov before arrival as cell service is limited. All 12 sites are reservable from May through September, with the campground typically operating April through October.
