Southshore At Detroit Lake Willamette (Or)
Overview
Southshore Campground provides 30 campsites, 25 single and 5 double sites, in two main loops. There are both reservable and FCFS campsites. The sites can accommodate trailers up to 30 feet in length. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. The Boat Launch area includes the launch and two courtesy docks. Drinking water is available to both sites via individual faucet risers located throughout the campground. There are two double-vault toilets, and two single-vault toilets located in accessible locations throughout the sites. Trash receptacles are located in the campground. There are approximately 43 parking spaces for use at the boat ramp area, which have also been used as overflow parking (ex. extra vehicle w/boat trailer) or the campground.
A mix of wooded and open sites are available, located a little further away from the busier portions of Detroit Lake. You'll find quiet camping on all but the busiest weekends. Detroit Lake covers 3,500 acres and is surrounded by groves of Douglas fir.
Scan and Pay is offered at this campground; you may also pay by cash or check for FCFS campsites. There are no refunds, modifications, cancellations, or other fee changes allowed with Scan and Pay payments. This system is the same as putting cash into a fee tube and cannot be refunded.
