Cultus Lake Boat In - Little Cove Campground

Cultus Lake Boat In - Little Cove Campground offers a unique and remote escape for those looking to experience the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Nestled on the north side of the stunning, crystal-clear Cultus Lake, this site is strictly accessible by boat or hiking trail, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere far removed from the typical roadside campground experience. The surrounding terrain is rugged and heavily forested, providing a perfect base for outdoor enthusiasts who value solitude and direct access to the water.

This federal site is managed by the USFS and maintains a very rustic character, providing minimal facilities to preserve the natural environment. While there are no utility hookups available, the location serves as an excellent jumping-off point for exploring nearby hiking trails that lead deep into the majestic Three Sisters Wilderness. Visitors are encouraged to come fully prepared for primitive camping.

This campground is best suited for adventurous tent campers and outdoor lovers who enjoy a self-sufficient experience. Because it is a boat-in or hike-in facility, it is ideal for those who prefer to arrive by kayak, canoe, or on foot to enjoy the serene, quiet side of one of Oregon’s most iconic alpine lakes.
