southeast on Highway 58. Turn east on County Road 61. Drive three
miles, then continue north on Cascade Lakes Highway (Highway 46)
for 11 miles then turn east on County Road 44. Go 1.5 miles to the

Trip notes: This campground is set along the south shore
of Wickiup Reservoir, where the kokanee salmon fishing is good.
The camp is best in early summer, before the lake level drops. Because
of a pine beetle infestation, the area was logged in 1987.
