Fremont-Winema/Sunset
Overview
Sunset Campground, nestled within the Fremont-Winema National Forest, offers a serene escape on the eastern shores of Lake of the Woods. Located near Klamath Falls, Oregon, this site provides a classic Pacific Northwest camping experience that highlights the beauty of the Southern Cascades. The park is managed by the USDA Forest Service and serves as a scenic gateway to high-country wilderness, offering a mix of shaded sites and immediate access to the refreshing mountain waterfront.
Location & Surroundings
The park sits at an elevation of approximately 5,000 feet, surrounded by a dense canopy of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. Its location on the Cascade Range's eastern slope creates a distinct alpine atmosphere with crisp air and cool summer nights. RVers will appreciate the convenient access via Highway 140, which makes the park accessible while ensuring the campground feels deeply immersed in the natural forest environment, far from urban noise.
Amenities & Park Features
As a traditional National Forest site, Sunset focuses on a rustic experience rather than modern luxury. The campground features paved parking spurs that can accommodate various RV lengths, though travelers should note there are no hookups available. Each site is equipped with a heavy-duty fire ring and picnic table to facilitate a classic camp life. Facilities include well-maintained vault toilets and seasonal potable water, while the nearby resort provides additional services like a general store and restaurant.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the lake itself, which is perfect for boating, kayaking, and fishing for trout or kokanee. Hikers can easily access trails leading into the nearby Sky Lakes Wilderness or attempt the summit of Mt. McLoughlin. Furthermore, Sunset Campground serves as an excellent base for visiting Crater Lake National Park, located roughly 45 minutes away, allowing travelers to explore the iconic caldera before returning to their quiet lakeside retreat.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for self-contained RVers who value natural beauty over digital connectivity and full utility hookups. It is a perfect fit for families looking for a traditional lakeside summer vacation or outdoor enthusiasts seeking a quiet basecamp for paddling and mountain exploration. If you prefer the sound of wind through the pines and stargazing without light pollution, Sunset is an excellent choice for your Oregon road trip.

Had an awesome time. The camp staff were friendly and helped us figure the parking situation out. You definitely need to prepare for mosquitoes tho. They will eat you!!

This year it's just not up to par. Restrooms have the same bugs and cobwebs everyday. Clearly NOT CLEANED as usual! I was there 4 days NEVER saw any campsite cleaned and mine had cans and trash. Table was covered in pine needles. These hosts are NOT great. Used to be pristine. Can't imagine how bad it will be as the summer continues.

It’s probably in terms of setup a four star. Reason I give it only 3 is because I was a bit disappointed by the lakeside area. The sites are away from it - most of them are and the forest is dense here. No visibility of lake or mt.McLoughlin unless you walk straight to the lake shore literally. In loop A at least also no dedicated trail or area so you have to pass the couple is sites that are there which is awkward. Due to the dense forest it’s dark early and probably colder then it would be otherwise. I love forest and trees, but this is sort of deep in the woods.
