Overview

Fourmile Lake is located off Highway 140 near Lake of the Woods. The campground and day use area is at the southern end of Sky Lakes Wilderness area. This rustic campground with few amenities is the place to get away from the modern world. Horse corrals are available in the upper portion of the campground and the proximity to the wilderness and Pacific Crest Trail make it ideal for the backcountry enthusiast.

Recreation

Visitors to the area will enjoy a variety of activities including hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, horse packing, bird watching, stargazing, fishing, and horse camping.

Facilities

The campground is equipped with hand-pumped water and stock-loading facilities, picnic tables, campfire rings, vault toilets and boat ramp. Sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Look for improved boat trailer and passenger vehicle parking in boat ramp and day use areas. Day Use Fee $10.00. Please follow directional signage and park in a responsible manner. $10.00 extra vehicle fee.

Natural Features

The 113,400-acre Sky Lakes Wilderness occupies the crest of the High Cascades, extending south from the boundary of Crater Lake National Park to Fourmile Lake. The wilderness has gentle, densely forested terrain with occasional steep areas. The name derives from the many small lakes, most of them clustered in several glacial basins near the crest of the Cascade Range. Several species of trees including Shasta red fir, western white pine, mountain hemlock, lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce and whitebark pine are found throughout the area. The forest's understory is dominated by species of huckleberry, as well as manzanita, snowbrush, and heather.

Nearby Attractions

Wonderful camping trip at Four-Mile Lake! The campground was virtually deserted for most of our Monday - Friday stay. The quietest camping experience we have ever had! Site 7 offers lots of privacy (especially compared to other lakefront sites). Our site was so sunny, it didn't really get dark until about 8. In the morning, we comfortably walked around in just t-shirts and shorts. Gorgeous views in every direction. Excellent fishing just down from our site! I also enjoyed nice swims nearly daily. We kayaked across the lake one day for fishing on the other shore. We were literally the only people on the lake the entire day. Hiked to Woodpecker, Badger and Long Lakes, easy hikes, lovely lakes! Lake of the. Woods is about 15 minutes away, breakfasted at their restaurant, yummy! The vault toilets were very clean. Our camp host, Hank, was friendly and gave us great fishing tips. I only rated down a star because there is only one place to get water, and one place to dump garbage which was a little inconvenient.

The camp host was great. Help us with another site due to the one I picked was to short for us. On line the site said 35 ft. Boy it was barley if that. He gave us a site that was just right. On the lake also! Thank you.

One of my favorite lakes in Southern Oregon. Much quieter than the lake across the street. Sites have views of the lake. Can be windy and long gravel road to access. Pit toilets. No showers.

The camp hosts were the best part of the experience. They showed exceptional hospitality and were a wealth of information. Hank greeted us immediately upon arrival and gave us a full run down of the facility. Restrooms were kept clean and they were out at quiet hours to verify campers were abiding by the rules. This is the first time I would consider going back because of the host.

Review is sadly only based on the issue that my car could not make it to the camping spot. I had checked the drive, and reviews to ensure I wouldn't need a 4-wheel drive to get there. Sadly, I did. I had to very carefully turn around and just found another spot off Recreation.gov to stay for the night. Not a biggie, just sad I didn't make it to this really cool looking spot for the meteor shower night. I will find another day to make it to this campground. Just taking a different vehicle this time.
