About this campground

Mud Lake Campground is located across from the Anthony Lake Ski Area and near Mud Lake in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Some campsites are tucked beneath dense pine and fir forest, while others sit in an open meadow. Mud Lake Campground is located in the Southern Elkhorn Mountain/Powder River Basin Area. Picturesque views of the ski area, Gunsight Peak and the Elkhorn Mountains are only a short hike across Forest Road 73, which is part of the Elkhorn Scenic Byway. Campers at Mud Lake have access to all the recreational activities at Anthony Lake, including boating, canoeing, kayaking and trout fishing. There is an accessible boat ramp available. Trails around Anthony Lake include the 22.6-mile Elkhorn Crest and the 1-mile Black Lake Trails for hiking and horseback riding, as well as the 1-mile Shoreline Trail for hiking only. Mud Lake is also near over 8 miles of singe track mountain bike trails and a downhill flow trail at the ski area.

What campers say

Mud Lake Campground is a small, scenic group site set in a pleasant outdoor area popular for day trips, riding and rockhounding. It has only about six small sites, so space is limited and larger trailers may not fit comfortably. Amenities are minimal; some visitors report no potable water, so bring supplies. Reservations are handled online. Seasonal conditions can affect access — heavy snow at times makes camping impractical. Overall it offers a quiet, natural setting for small groups willing to trade comfort and space for scenery and outdoor activities.
