Little Fawn Group Camp, 37 miles southwest of the town of Bend, is located on the southeastern shores of Elk Lake.
Elk Lake provides the opportunity for boating, windsurfing, water skiing, fishing and swimming. A nice beach and large day-use area provide plenty of shoreline for swimming. A boat ramp is located within the campground.
Little Fawn Group Camp offers single-family sites and a cluster of sinlge sites that are reservable in a single grouping. The campground accommodates tent and RV camping, but electrical hookups are not available. Sites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided.
From various points around Elk Lake you can catch glimpses of South Sister and Mt. Bachelor. Wetlands, diverse forests and rocky slopes near the campground provide habitat for shorebirds, porcupine, deer, bats and the occasional black bear.
Lava Lands Visitor Center in nearby Bend, Oregon, and the unique geological landscape of Newberry National Volcanic Monument, draw visitors to the region as well. Visitors enjoy traveling the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway which climbs through the Cascades on a 66-mile drive weaving past snow-capped peaks and alpine lakes.
From Bend, travel southwest on Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway for 35.5 miles. Turn onto Forest Road 4625 and travel 1.7 miles east to the campground entrance.
