What others are saying about this campground
This campground is a hidden gem located right on the lake. It is a high desert campground with lush grass and trees. The day area and campground have plenty of spaces to choose from. The A loop sites are close together while the B loop sites are more widely spaced. Site 28 in the B loop is a favorite because of its partially secluded patio area with a lake view. The campground is in nice shape and well maintained despite warnings of sequester-caused cuts in maintenance. There are two cabins and the camp hosts sell ice and firewood. Most people come to this campground for the rainbow trout fishing, but there are no services in the area so visitors should come stocked up.

From The Campground

Unity Lake State Recreation Site is a small campground located near John Day, Oregon. The campground offers 35 electrical sites with water, two reservable cabins, hot showers, flush toilets, and a hiker/biker camp. The day-use area has picnic tables on a large expanse of lawn with ample shade, a boat ramp, boat trailer parking, restrooms, and water. The park is open year-round and attracts anglers for ice fishing in the winter. Spring and fall are the best seasons for fishing. The campground is a perfect jumping-off point for visiting nearby historical sites and wilderness areas. Hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities abound in the three wilderness areas that lie within 30 miles of the park: Monument Rock, Strawberry Mountain, and North Fork John Day. For a glimpse into the past, visit the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center at Flagstaff Hill. The nearby mining town of Sumpter and Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area also offer a unique daytrip opportunity. The centerpiece is the five-story, 125-foot floating dredge that excavated $4.5 million in gold between 1935 and 1954. The dredge is open seasonally for tours, and a nature trail leads through the dredged area and past a maze of ponds. During the summer, the Sumpter Valley Railroad offers tours of the area.
