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. Oregon's fishing campgrounds span every corner of the state, providing access to world-class trout streams, bass-filled reservoirs, and salmon-rich coastal rivers.

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.
