About Lofton Reservoir Campground

Overview

Lofton Reservoir Campground is one of the three main points of interest in the Fishhole Lake Recreation Area. Located 45 minutes east of Bly, Oregon, this highly developed campground features 24 campsites. 22 of the campsites are RV sites. The road is paved all the way to Lofton Reservoir, making it ideal if you are towing a trailer or boat.

These spacious campsites accommodate trailers and feature grills, fire rings, picnic tables, and tent areas. There are 3 vault toilets and 3 pit toilets, five group sites, and one ADA designated site.

This high elevation forest setting showcases a mixed conifer stand. The refreshing lakeside environment attracts migratory birds and deer. Although the water level varies in the reservoir, it is stocked annually with rainbow trout. There is a boat ramp on the south side of the reservoir, and the campground complex now features a newly replaced Fishing Pier, built in 2025.

Besides fishing and relaxing, you can hike 1.5 miles to Heart Lake on a defined trail. This hike is uphill on the way back to Lofton, making it a moderate 3 mile round-trip trek. Some campers bring their pole, food, and make it a day outing of fishing, picnicking, and hiking.

There is no potable water. Visitors need to pack an adequate supply of water.

Nearby Attractions

Heart Lake and Holbrook Reservoir are nearby and within the Fishhole Lake Recreation Area. Gearhart Wilderness Ares is also within site.

If you are hungry and want a fine dining experience, Aspen Ridge Resort is just down the paved road into the campground.
