Forest Road 030, Prospect, OR
Anglers will get the most out of this place: rainbow trout are stocked weekly from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and reviewers tip the stretch under the bridge and a semi-hidden path as the best spots. First-come-first-served at 15 sites means arrive early on summer weekends.
No potable water on-site is the real logistical hurdle: you'll need to haul in everything you plan to drink. Add vault toilets reviewers call outdated, a potholed dirt access road, and zero cell coverage, and comfort-focused campers will be counting the miles back to Prospect.

Summer brings daytime highs in the low 70s to low 80s with nights dropping into the 40s. Trails and roads to Crater Lake are fully passable, and fishing for rainbow trout peaks during these months. Reserve early for summer weekends when crowds pick up. Spring and fall require rain gear. Winter snow closes the campground entirely, though the forest transforms into quiet white terrain for those passing through on their way elsewhere.
