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