Handpicked destinations that define the region
Mt. Hood National Forest
Rainbow trout thrive in the crystal-clear waters of Olallie Lake, accessible directly from your cabin door with non-motorized boats available to rent nearby. Cast your line from shore or paddle to deeper waters where stocked trout await in this pristine mountain lake.
Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest
Rainbow trout thrive in the Rogue River currents flowing directly past campsites, where anglers step from their tents straight to the water's edge. The 0.7-mile riverside stretch puts you within casting distance morning and evening, with no boat launch needed to hook into the legendary Rogue's fish.
Wallowa Whitman National Forest
Anglers cast directly from shoreline campsites into Fish Lake's clear waters, where rainbow and brook trout rise throughout the season. The lakeside location puts fishing rods within arm's reach of your tent, eliminating the morning commute between camp and your favorite fishing hole.
About Fishing Campgrounds in Oregon
Fishing camping Oregon offers anglers an extraordinary diversity of waters, from the legendary steelhead runs of the Rogue River to pristine alpine lakes in the Wallowa Mountains and high desert reservoirs in the Malheur National Forest.

Tips & Recommendations
- 1Oregon requires fishing licenses for all anglers over 12 years old, available online or at sporting goods stores—purchase before arrival as cell service is unreliable at most campgrounds.
- 2Check current regulations for specific waters as many rivers have special restrictions, seasonal closures, and catch limits that vary by location and species.
- 3Reserve popular fishing campgrounds like Natural Bridge and Delintment Lake at least two weeks in advance for summer weekends, though weekday sites are often available without reservations.
- 4Bring a variety of tackle as Oregon waters support diverse species—pack spinners and spoons for lake trout, dry flies and nymphs for stream fishing, and heavier gear for steelhead.
