Visited this place before and after the fire me and my family visit here alot so the day use area is a perfect place for a day trip that's what we do alot but this time in these pictures if you go into the city all the way down the road there will be another day use area with a great trail

We met up with our neighbor's family and friends. It's a lovely area full of walking paths.

To see what the fire's have done here is heart breaking. The place is starting to rebuild and trying to come back strong. The lake is dry! You can see where the water once was. Not sure if solely because of water drought or if it was purposely for repairs and building. There are some businesses open for business.

Questions & Answers

I have late stage 4 cancer. I want to bring my German Shepherd there for just 2 nights. What is the park fee to tent camp and the cost of wood for a campfire.

Suz Johnson | Jan 31, 2019

Wood is $5 bundle. Tent sites are considerable cheaper. Perfect place to spend quality time with your pup ♡ I'm very sorry to hear of your illness. May you find peace in your journey. Amen

Do you need to reserve before hand or can you just go and check in? Anything wrong with the water? Okay for campfires? Is it $19 or $20 for a tent site?

Maria Torres | Jan 30, 2019
Mike Davis | Jan 31, 2019

The only first come first serve sites are the handicap sites if they are not booked or someone who needs them does not show up to use them. It is one of the most sought after campsites on the coast due to its small size and a great beach Campfires are dependant on local fire bans. The water is fine. Check the site or call for for prices. Any price discrepancy could be due to a recent price change or one site having an electrical hook-up.

Allow camp fire?

Darnell Johnson Sr | Jan 30, 2019
dustin wilson | Jan 31, 2019

Lorelei | Jan 30, 2019
Teresa Andresen | Jan 31, 2019

There are several sites. you should be able to upgrade to a camper site; with a few $ difference. The camp ground saves sites for on the spot. Usually campers sites have room for a tent. If you have children/ friends throw in a tent lol. Have fun enjoy

How’s the water conditions? Can we go in it & how high is it?

Nancy Preuit | Jan 30, 2019
Nick Hartman | Jan 31, 2019

They have been having bluegreen algae blooms which brings cyanotoxins. The water could be unsafe to swim in and definitely unsafe to drink. It can not be boiled clean so dont try. Salem has active warning against drinking the cities tap water as it gets its water from Detroit lake. 🙏🌲✌

Smoke better today?

Margaret Lindsay | Jan 30, 2018
Rawb Randall | Jan 31, 2018

I'm not for sure but it was still smokey on Monday Tuesday

How bad is the smoke for campers

Jim Baker | Jan 30, 2018
Andy S | Jan 31, 2018

The smoke is noticeable on the water, however, visibility on the campground is good. You'll likely only notice a slight haze throughout the park.
