About Reservoir Campground

Overview

Campground closed until further notice

Reservoir Campground is located next to Wickiup Reservoir along the Cascade Lakes Highway.

Recreation

Campers enjoy boating, canoeing, swimming and fishing. Both motorized and non-motorized boats are allowed on Wickiup Reservoir. The reservoir's relatively warm water and cooler deep channels generate excellent opportunities for fishing.

Facilities

Reservoir Campground can accommodate RV, trailer or tent-campers, however, water and electric hookups are not available. Campers will need to bring their own water supply. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill and the campground has vault toilets available. This campground offers a boat ramp with access to Wickiup Reservoir.

Natural Features

Wickiup Reservoir is a popular fishing destination. Fish species include brown trout, kokanee and Coho salmon, rainbow and brook trout, whitefish and chub. Wetlands, diverse forests, and rocky slopes near the campground provide a necessary habitat for shorebirds, porcupine, deer, bats and the occasional black bear.

Nearby Attractions

Campers can explore wilderness areas, rivers, lakes and reservoirs and hundreds of miles of trails. Visitors can travel the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway which climbs 66 miles through the Cascade Range, weaving past snow-capped peaks and alpine lakes.

Newberry National Volcanic Monument, approxiately 45 minutes by vehicle, is a great starting point for visitors to learn about the diverse landscape and history of the area through interpretive programs and exhibits. Visitors can explore Lava River Cave, the longest continuous lava tube in Oregon.

Notices from Recreation.gov

This is a no water facility so campers will need to bring their own supply.

Prevent the spread of invasive species by inspecting and cleaning packs, equipment and tires before using lake or trails.

Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.

Fire Restrictions: Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed.

During your time in Central Oregon, you can find wildfire, prescribed fire and smoke information at centraloregonfire.org

Reserved Sites will be held until check out time (NOON) the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests.

Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.

Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).

Don't Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species.
