Reservoir Campground

Reservoir Campground offers a convenient boat ramp providing access to Wickiup Reservoir, an 11,200-acre water body in the Cascade Mountains near Bend, Oregon. The campground is located along the Cascade Lakes Highway, approximately 58 miles southwest of Bend. Both motorized and non-motorized boats are permitted on the reservoir, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and powerboaters alike.

The reservoir is known for excellent fishing opportunities, thanks to its relatively warm surface water and cooler deep channels. The campground provides basic amenities including picnic tables, campfire rings, and vault toilets. However, note that there is no potable water at the facility—bring your own drinking water. The campground is currently closed until further notice (per Recreation.gov), so contact the facility at 541-323-1746 before planning your visit. Several alternative campgrounds with boat ramps are available nearby, including Gull Point Campground and North Twin Lake Campground.

**Directions:** From Bend, travel approximately 58 miles southwest on Cascade Lakes Highway (OR-46), then 2 miles east on Forest Road 44.
