Wickiup Campground sets off of Forest Road 15 tucked amongst trees, next to Canyon Creek, the perfect place to relax in the shade during the summer months and listen to the creek flow past. This is a beautiful campground that offers opportunities for picnicking and stream fishing. The campground is a good starting point for hiking, viewing wildlife and hunting during the summer and fall months. During the winter the entry to the campground makes a great starting point for snowmobile riders.
From John Day, OR. travel south on US Highway 395 approximately 10 miles to the junction with County Road 65. Follow County Road 65 approximately 7 miles the campground will be on the right.
It is beautiful, serene, nicely maintained picnic areas, and camp sites. The beach areas are clean and outhouses are clean as well.
Drove here the first week of June. The rain and snowfall was excellent this year and the lake is completely filled. The water is cold and crystalline blue and clear. Very few other people were at this lake it was quite and serene. The facilities were available and clean the the day use area was well maintained.
Very beautiful area. We went to check out the water level of the reservoir since they have been releasing more water for those stupid frogs. Very sad to see it so empty. Looks like it was a great place to swim, fish and boat. Hope to see it when it's full again.
