Stampede Reservoir - Water Recreation

Stampede Reservoir is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile water recreation experience. Nestled in a scenic landscape, the area is renowned for its expansive opportunities for motorized boating, water skiing, and personal watercraft use. During the calmer hours of the morning and evening, the reservoir becomes a serene haven for paddlers, including kayakers, canoeists, and paddle boarders, while anglers enjoy year-round fishing access, including ice fishing during the winter months.

The site features developed campgrounds on the south shore, offering both single-family and group camping options to accommodate various party sizes. Essential amenities provided at the site include fire rings for evening gatherings and a convenient boat ramp at Captain Roberts, located right next to Logger Campground. This federal campground, managed by the USFS, is designed for those comfortable with a moderate experience level who enjoy a rustic, back-to-basics stay.

This location is well-suited for families, tent campers, and RV travelers looking to immerse themselves in nature. Whether you are planning a group outing or a quiet car camping trip, Stampede Reservoir provides an ideal basecamp for enjoying the water and the surrounding terrain throughout the year.
