Hello all,
I just signed up for this forum. I've been camping a few dozen times, but always to KOA or some similar trailer/sedan friendly campsite with paved roads, bathrooms, etc.
I'm wondering if anyone knew of a lake somewhere in Oregon that has access via trail(logging road, something a truck can handle). If it has a bathroom, great, but I'm looking more for seclusion than anything else. I hate the crowded campsites.
If anyone on here has ever been to Olallie Lake in Oregon, that's basically what I'm looking for. Hard to get to with a regular car, so most people don't go there. Tiny country store and bathroom on one side of the lake, basic basic campsites all the way around it.
I also have a rifle I'd like to take shooting. The farther away from people I can get, the better. However, I only have a stock Ford Ranger, so I can't be climbing over boulders for miles and miles.
Anyone have any idea of a place like this? Seclusion and being near a lake/river/basin is most important, bathrooms, modern convenience is secondary.
Also if anyone has any advice for a beginner camper, feel free to add it in! I've been civil war reenacting for a while now, so I've got the fire starting, tent raising, cooking all down pat, but I'm always ready for more advice.
Cheers all,
