What campers say

Cove Creek Campground is a well-maintained Forest Service site on Detroit Lake with paved pads, spacious sites, and very clean modern restrooms and coin showers. Hosts are friendly and attentive, and facilities include water spigots, good fire pits, and a paid boat launch for fishing or paddling on a deep lake. There are no electrical or sewer hookups, and many sites are pull-ins better suited to trailers than small tent platforms, so choose a spot accordingly. Bring quarters for showers and your own firewood or plan to buy it. Shore access is pleasant but can be rocky and lake levels vary.

📖 About This Campground

Cove Creek Campground located in Detroit, Oregon,  rests on the shores of Detroit Lake at an elevation of 1,600 feet. Campsites are surrounded by towering trees, which create a secluded atmosphere. Visitors enjoy exploring the area and discovering osprey hovering above or nesting in many trees. The campground lies in the Willamette National Forest, which stretches 110 miles along the western slopes of the Cascade Range.
The campground offers single and double-family campsites, as well as an accessible group site for up to 70 people. Accessible flush toilets, drinking water and coin-operated showers are available at Cove Creek. The group campground comes with a sheltered eating area. In the day use area, there is about 1,000 ft. of shoreline. There is a dock for launching, loading and unloading only. There is no mooring allowed.
A mix of wooded and open sites are provided at the campground. Its location is near enough to the Detroit Reservoir to hear passing boats, but a little too far for unobstructed views of the lake. The reservoir covers 3,500 acres and is surrounded by groves of Douglas fir.
Detroit Lake is a popular destination for boating, jet skiing, swimming and fishing. Rainbow trout, Kokanee salmon and catfish are found in the lake. A boat ramp and dock are located next to the campground. The Stahlman Point Trail is a quarter-mile from the campground entrance road. The trail meanders through younger Douglas fir forests and offers some memorable views of Detroit Lake.
