Deschutes/Cultus Lake Campground

Bryan James

Great campground with very large sites. A healthy mixture of mature down to very young pine trees and a beautiful lakeside setting! The water in Cultus Lake was clean and a relatively decent temperature for swimming and boating. Pit toilets and water faucets were the amenities offered at this campground.

We stayed at this campground recently and had a pretty rough experience. There were several groups of drunk young people around us—blasting music, yelling, and smoking weed and cigarettes until about 3 AM. It felt like we were totally surrounded, and there was no staff around to do anything about it. The lake is absolutely beautiful and the nature around is great, but the noise really took away from the whole vibe.

I went to Cultus Lake on business and was on a sailboat mostly. The lodge has amazing food especially if you haven’t had a warm meal in a few days. The camp hosts Eric and Don are so nice and accommodating and went above and beyond to make us comfortable in the campgrounds. Bathrooms are mostly clean but there is no running showers or sinks to wash with. The lodge has flushing toilets but I would feel bad using them without getting something from the small store or restaurant. We were underprepared for dry tent camping and didn’t realize it was so far back to town. Overall it was alright. :)

It's beautiful! Campsites are spacious. This is more for boats and jet skis as it has waves that can be choppy. Water is very clear.

Mosquitos,mosquitos, and more mosquitos. We stayed at the boat-in campground on the west side, which was secluded and beautiful. After about 8 pm the sounds of nature were all we heard. The campsites are big offer more privacy than most. It's a pretty little lake and nice to paddle on, just too many bugs. We went through a whole bottle of deet and we were always in a swarm. The campground on the east side seemed much better, while launching and pulling out our boat we didn't notice mosquitos there.

Super pretty campsite. Went in mid June and there was hardly anyone camping there which was nice. Hardly any bugs, probably cause it was still wet and a little cold. No showers, not even at the nearby resort. Vault toilets. Water was shut off during our stay. Stayed at site 4, lots of space and well spaced between other sites. Verizon coverage was nearly non existent, occasionally got enough signal for notifications to come through but that’s it.

I've camped here twice now and each time was great. The campsites are good sized - they could be more spread out, but no one was rowdy while we were there so it caused no problems. The lake is very swimmable and fun, it stays nice and shallow for a while making it great for kids. The beach can be crowded but never so much that you can't find a spot. The toilets, trash, and water were well maintained, but the fire pits are pretty full and should be emptied. This is a great camp ground, especially for families, and I will definitely come back!
