About
Located on the southwest end of spectacular Crescent Lake in Deschutes National Forest, Windy Group Campground offers groups the opportunity to experience the beauty and recreational opportunities of the Cascade region in a rustic and secluded setting. The single large group site sits at the lake's edge and can accommodate up to 40 people, with unpaved roads providing ample space for RV parking. Crescent Lake, nestled in a naturally glaciated basin behind a moraine dam, lies east of the towering Cascade Mountain Range. Its brilliant blue-green water, sandy beaches, and water temperature are exceptional for a high-elevation lake. Towering lodgepole pine trees provide the backdrop, with mountain hemlock, fir, and spruce also in the mix. Boating, swimming, and fishing are popular activities during spring, summer, and fall months. Anglers can fish from boat or shoreline for abundant salmon and trout, with summer months offering the best fishing. Nearby, visitors can explore the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, Lava Lands Visitor Center, and Newberry National Volcanic Monument.
