The campground, on the north shore of Fish Lake, has three
unnamed sections. Two sections have combined sites and the other

Although the vegetation is heavy throughout, the campground has a
trimmed appearance. Conifers, including pine and fir, provide ample
shade. The nearby Fish Lake Resort offers a cook's night out and
boat rentals. Fish Lake is used for irrigation meaning its level will
decrease as summer progresses. Also, it is surrounded by three
dormant volcanos; Brown Mtn., just across the lake, is one.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 4,600 ft.
The campground is a single loop meandering through a variety of
large conifer trees. Although near Fish Lake, none of the campsites
have a view or direct access to the lake. The conifers, such as
Douglas fir, provide ample shade. A minimal understory and
middlestory provide little privacy between campsites. The
campground's Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) connection is
evident in its day-use picnic shelter. The nearby Fish Lake
Resort offers a cook's night out and boat rentals. Fish Lake is
used for irrigation meaning its level will decrease as summer
progresses. Also, it is surrounded by three dormant volcanos;
Brown Mtn., just across the lake, is one. Firewood is available

Turn left at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,400 ft.
The Annie Spring (south) entrance to Crater Lake National Park is
17 miles from campground.
Folks have been camping along Union Creek for more than 100
years. Until 1934 when the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC -
Company 1510 of Butte Falls) built the campground, sites were
wherever campers pitched their tents. Today, this CCC campground
has grown to three loops with campsites next to Union Creek or
near Rogue River. The sites in the first loop, to the right
of campground entrance, hug the creek and are tucked in among
maple trees. In the second loop, straight in from entrance,
campsites are within walking distance of the creek and river. It
also enjoys shade from large fir trees and good privacy from a
nice middlestory of vegetation. The third loop, largest in
campground, is accessed via a bridge and has no water spigots.
This loop has a mix of densely wooded and very sunny sites and
limited access to the creek or river.
Although the campground continues to be a popular spot, it
retains much of its wilderness charm and CCC personality.
Nearby, Union Creek General Store has limited groceries and
Beckies Cafe is good for a cook's night out. Possible day trips
are Crater Lake National Park, Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway with its
waterfalls, and Rogue Gorge.
