About
Newberry Group Campground is the only exclusive group camping area within Newberry National Volcanic Monument, situated along the south shore of Paulina Lake in Deschutes National Forest. Located within the collapsed caldera of Newberry Volcano, the campground offers a unique geological setting nearly five miles in diameter. Paulina Lake covers 1,531 acres and plunges to depths of 250 feet, fed solely by rain, snowmelt, and hot springs. The campground features three separate group sites with paved roads and parking areas, accommodating groups of 35 to 50 people. The Paulina Lakeshore loop trail passes through the campground, offering a 7-mile stroll around the lake with opportunities to view bald eagles, osprey, common loon, and other waterfowl. Thermal vents and hot springs along the lake's northeast edge create a highly productive ecosystem. In September, kokanee salmon swim to spawn in Paulina Creek. Visitors can drive or hike to the summit of nearby Paulina Peak to watch soaring raptors. The unique location provides excellent opportunities for bird watching, boating, bicycling, and sightseeing throughout the operating season. Wetlands, diverse forests, and rocky slopes near the campground provide habitat for shorebirds, raccoon, deer, bats, and the occasional black bear.
