What campers say

Orland Buttes Campground offers strong lake scenery, wildlife viewing, and good access for boating, hiking, and fishing. Many visitors note quiet, grassy sites and nearby trails. Expect limited infrastructure: campsites generally have no water or power, restrooms/showers have been closed at times and replaced with portable toilets and handwashing stations, and some faucets or fish-cleaning facilities may be out of order. The boat launch is narrow and can collect driftwood and rocks, and wind can make launching difficult. Cell service is variable and several sites are unlevel with limited shade, so check site photos before booking.
