Todd Lake Campground

Can you imagine a serene campsite where towering peaks meet tranquil waters, and the only sounds are the gentle rustling of alpine trees and the call of native wildlife? Todd Lake Campground, perched at an elevation of 6,150 feet in Oregon’s Cascade Range, offers a secluded retreat with just three walk-in sites, perfect for those seeking peace and harmony with nature. With its breathtaking views of Broken Top and proximity to Todd Lake’s sparkling waters, this rustic campground is a gem for hikers, anglers, and nature lovers.

Situated approximately 30 minutes from Bend, Todd Lake Campground is an ideal base for exploring the Three Sisters Wilderness. The campground itself is minimalistic, offering a small number of lakeside campsites with a vault toilet but no potable water, ensuring a true back-to-basics experience. Nearby, visitors can enjoy a scenic 1.7-mile loop trail around the lake, try fishing in its clear alpine waters, or set off on iconic trails like Soda Creek or Broken Top, located just steps away. Non-motorized watercraft, including kayaks and canoes, are permitted, making the lake a peaceful spot for quiet paddling.

Todd Lake is an excellent choice for low-impact campers, day-trippers, or weekend adventurers eager to connect with the awe-inspiring landscapes of Central Oregon. With its high elevation and pristine surroundings, this campground invites you to immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Cascades while savoring the solitude that only such an intimate setting can provide.
