This lake is the quintessential high desert lake camping experience. Nestled in between Mount Bachelor & the Three Sisters mountains. Clear & cool & great for swimming! The speed limit is 10 mph which results in 90% non-motorized water craft. The USFS campground has the best camp spots with lake views (not the resort side). The campground is safe and VERY family friendly. Campers are respectful.... This lake is the quintessential high desert lake camping experience.

The resort side has a camp host that can communicate with Deschutes County, if needed. Plus, there is strong Verizon cell coverage. The vault toilets are attended to, (with the exception being the handicap vault toilet in the day use area that was kept locked for the days we were there). As of late June, Deschutes County has still not turned on the water spigots—even though the website says they’re turned on in May. 🤔But utilizing the amenities at the resort (boat rental, restaurant, etc) is a bonus.

Simple campgrounds on first come first serve basis. Rough road driving out there from Detroit. The Breitenbush highway is good but then it goes onto a rocky road and you better have an SUV and 4-wheel drive. Picknick benches and barbecues are available at the grounds. Most spots have nice lake views. Endless hiking options. The quickest are golden butte and Battle ax which both have amazing views... Simple campgrounds on first come first serve basis.

We had an amazing stay at south campground (Hosmer lake) and the hosts were simply delightful! They were helpful and accommodating, friendly and hospitable. They went out of their way to ensure we all had what we needed. I didn’t want to leave!
