For outdoor enthusiasts looking for a campground in a peaceful forest setting with great fishing and a variety of hiking opportunities, Digit Point Campground is the place. This scenic campground is located on the south shore of Miller Lake 40 minutes east of Chemult, Oregon. The location of the campground places many campsites on the lake shore with scenic views of the lake and Mt. Thielsen. A dense growth of mixed conifers including hemlock, white pine, white fir and sugar pine, provide ample shade. Osprey, eagles, loons and grebes are local residents. June and July are heavy mosquito months, so bring bug spray. The best part about camping at Digit Point is that it offers a full array of activities including biking boating, fishing, hiking and swimming. Miller Lake's brown, rainbow and brook trout and Kokanee salmon pose a challenge for anglers of any age. A person can also fish 24 hours a day here. The Miller Lake Trail loop provides hikers an opportunity to explore part of Mt. Thielsen Wilderness and be back at camp for dinner. This five-mile loop trail also allows hikers to access thePacific Crest National National Scenic Trail and Maidu Trail. Amenities include picnic tables, potable water, campfire rings, three flush toilets, one vault toilet and an RV dump station.
Digit Point Campground is located 35 minutes west of Chemult, Oregon. From Chemult, take U.S. Highway 97 north towards Crescent, Oregon, for approximately one mile and then turn left onto Forest Service (FS) Road 9772. Digit Point Campground will be at the end of FS Road 9772 beside Miller Lake.
Very nice and clean nice big campground. The lake is nice and refreshing with a few mosquitoes.
Last time I went to digit point I got a huge 25 inch rainbow. It tried to steel my fishing pole and I had to go out and get it back. Waist deep water fighting a fish for about 10 minutes. It was pretty nice.
Maps is incorrect on the location of this campground. The best way to accurately get here is to look for Digit Point Day Use Area or for Miller Lake. Great campground, lots of lake view sites as well as decent sized sites. Potable water readily available. $12 per night for one vehicle and tent camping. No fire wood available for purchase when I went so I'd recommend bringing some with you.
Very nice area. Campground was primitive with water and restrooms but was well maintained and located between the boat launch and swim area. A lot of good sized fish although I want prepared and didn't have worms with me.
