Pine Meadows Campground is located on Cottage Grove Lake in Oregon's southern Willamette Valley.
Cottage Grove Lake and its shoreline, set in the gently rolling hills of the Willamette Valley, are used for numerous outdoor activities both on land and on water. There are boat ramps at Lakeside Park and Wilson Creek Park nearby, giving visitors easy access to the lake for boating and fishing. Families can use the swim beach or picnic along the shore. The lake is also a designated stop along the Big River Loop of the Willamette Valley Birding Trail, a self-guided driving tour that includes 138 birding hotspots.
The campground has nearly 100 sites that each offer fire rings and picnic tables, several of which are on the lake shore. Sites 1-92 are standard sites within the main campground at Pine Meadows. Sites A - O are primitive sites with limited amenities on a loop adjacent to Pine Meadows Campground.
Other amenities include flush toilets, showers, a dump station, children's play area and a swim area.
Located in the low foothills of the Calapooya Mountains, Pine Meadows is surrounded by a diverse mixture of marshland, coniferous forests, and grasslands. The area is managed to provide habitat for a wide variety of wildlife species, including waterfowl, black-tailed deer, upland game birds, songbirds, bald eagles, osprey, and many other species. Visitors can see rare birds like the purple martin, the willow flycatcher, and the yellow-breasted chat in the lake area. Osprey and purple martins nest in nearby structures.

**Late Cancellations**
**Individual Campsites:** A customer who cancels a reservation the day before or on the day of arrival will pay a $10.00 service fee AND forfeit the first night's use fee (not to exceed the total paid for the original reservation).

Beautiful campsite on the odd numbers looking out to lake. Sites are moderately sized, level and road is nicely paved.
Wonderful camp ground! I love the spacious spots. The lake is nice. People complaining about the rules are obviously NOT liking to follow them. There wouldn't be an issue if people could just behave themselves and not spoil the quiet for others with their loud and drunken behavior. I'm glad that isn't an issue here. Camp hosts are awesome. They do a great job making sure people are behaving themselves. If you're an adult that can't handle a few rules, that's a you problem.
Great camp ground. Only issue was the lake was low so the swimming area wasn't open but we went to the other side of the lake and found a great spot for all the kids. The rangers where so nice and helped the kids get their junior ranger badges which they loved! If your camping in spots along the water beware that people will walk through your camp sites even with walking paths to the water. Noise level after 10pm was fine never had anyone super loud.. only complaint is the signs on the bathroom state cleaning is a certain time but they clean them whenever they get to them which means closing the bathrooms in the mornings at peak time ( lots of people waiting for the bathroom)
Your bathrooms are in serious need of a makeover. Ladies room (non handicapped) shower floods. The shower heads suck. You leave the doors open so theres constant bugs and reptiles. The people that clean the restrooms are always late. States cleaning between 530-6. I've been not able to use the restroom at 8am. Mowing people are mowing way too close too people's tents. They've been literally a foot from my head before. Do better
