This campground provides 49 single campsites. There are both reservable and
FCFS sites. The original campsites within Big Lake are in two loops, (sites
#1-14 and #15-20) which have eight or so sites with frontage on the lake
shore. In 1992 additional campsites were opened (sites #21-49) on a long

fire rings and tent pad below the parking spur. Sites can accommodate trailers
up to 35 feet in length, depending on site. Drinking water is provided by a
water system, built in 1993, which serves the entire Big Lake complex by
filtering water drawn from the lake and distributing it to the campgrounds.
There are three single vault toilets, and two double vault toilets in the
campground. The extra vehicle parking area consists of a boat launch, picnic
area, and parking for approximately 15 vehicles and boat trailers. All of
these day use facilities are located in the middle of the campground, between
the original loops and the "expansion" campsites. *Day Use Fee for day
users/boat launch. Extra Vehicle Fee for campers with more than 1 vehicle.

Campfires allowed until and unless otherwise posted. Fire bans are common
during summer months. Please plan accordingly.

If paying for FCFS sites with a Credit Card, a Remote Offline Kiosk (ROK) is

## Overview

The Fish Lake Remount Depot Cabins sit at an altitude of 3,200 feet near the
Santiam Pass Winter Recreation Area of the Willamette National Forest. These
cabins were built in 1924 and are rustic, historic wood structures that
include a dispatcher's cabin, a springhouse shed, a garage/woodshed and a fire
hose shelter. The commissary cabin and a supervisor's cabin, known as the Hall
House, are available as rentals either separately or together. The compound
was once used to house firefighters and corral horses. It is still used as a
rest and resupply station by the Forest Service horse packer heading in and
out of Wilderness areas. Guests must walk, cross-country ski or snowshoe
approximately one mile to access the cabins from Lava Lake Sno-Park.

## Recreation

Seven Sno-Parks are within the Santiam Pass Recreation Area, a 15-minute drive
from the the cabins, including Lava Lake Sno-Park and Ray Benson Sno-Park.
These Sno-Parks offer access to both motorized and non-motorized trail
opportunities.

## Facilities

Two cabins are available for rental at this site from winter through early
spring. The Hall House is a 3-room cabin featuring 1 bedroom, a shared common
room with a hideaway bed, and a kitchen. The Commissary Cabin features a
bedroom and kitchen. Both cabins have the same amenities, which include a
full-size bed with mattress, table with chairs, sofa, propane heating and
cooking stoves, solar-powered lighting, basic cookware and kitchen utensils.
An outhouse with pit toilet is located nearby. Neither cabin has water or
electricity. Guests must bring their own water for drinking, cooking and
washing. Items such as bedding, lanterns or flashlights, matches, extra toilet
paper, first aid supplies, trash bags, dish soap, towels and an ice chest are
not available. Guests are expected to pack out their trash and clean the cabin
before leaving.

## Natural Features

The compound is accessed by a trail that traverses through dense evergreen
forest. From the cabins, guests can enjoy the view of Fish Lake and its
forested shoreline. The lake is shallow in winter, but will dry up and turn
into meadow in the late summer. Willamette National Forest offers prime
habitat for such species as Roosevelt elk, black bear, bald eagles, black tail
deer and bobcats, among other wildlife.
