Islet Campground

Islet Campground offers a serene escape nestled along the pristine shores of Waldo Lake, one of Oregon's largest and most beautiful natural bodies of water. Surrounded by a majestic forest of Douglas fir and mountain hemlock, this federal campground provides a quiet, secluded atmosphere for those looking to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest. It is an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts who appreciate remote landscapes and tranquil waters.

The area is a premier location for water-based recreation, including swimming, canoeing, and sailing. For those who prefer land-based adventures, the campground serves as a gateway to the Jim Weaver Loop, a 22-mile trail system that caters to both hikers and mountain bikers. The site is equipped with basic amenities including picnic tables and fire rings for traditional campfire cooking, along with a convenient boat ramp to facilitate easy access to the lake.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and RV travelers who are comfortable with a more rustic, off-grid experience. Because the site offers no utility hookups, it is perfect for those seeking a self-sufficient getaway in a breathtaking wilderness setting that remains open for visitors year-round.
