Inlet Campground is nestled along the North Umpqua River where the forest of lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock and Shasta red fir meet Lemolo Lake, the highest reservoir on the North Umpqua River at an elevation of 4,150 feet. Recreation Boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing and water skiing top the list of recreational activities near the campground. Lemolo Lake provides outdoor enthusiasts with a multitude of recreational opportunities year round. The forested shoreline and mountainous backdrop provide a perfect setting for both swimmers braving the lake's cold, refreshing waters, and for anglers casting lines from boat or beach. Populations of German brown trout, Eastern brook trout, rainbow trout and kokanee salmon thrive in the lake which reaches depths of up to 100 feet in places. For waterfall seekers, nearby Lemolo Falls Trail is a steep traverse that drops down into North Umpqua Canyon for a view of Lemolo Falls as it cascades 150 feet to the canyon bottom. A spur trail accesses the bottom of the canyon below the falls. Facilities This campground has 13 standard sites, all sites are available by reservation only. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings and grills. Vault toilets are available. There is no drinking water available and trash service is limited, please pack out all garbage.

If the amenities would have included water and electricity and campsites that were set up properly I would have given it five stars. The campsites were set up backwards for your trailer, meaning you back your trailer in and your door is on the wrong side from your picnic table and the campsites are very small for your trailer. Other than that very beautiful campsite very beautiful area but the campsite itself needs some updating. Oh and the restrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen.
A true hidden gem of dispersal camping. Unmarked campsites with roughed out camp spots. No facilities at all...actual camping!
Like many far out places, the Mosquito's here are THICK...smaller, easily killed ones but in summer they swarm.
