Recreation

Bluebill Lake is an excellent location for fishing. The campground provides easy access to the Bluebill Trail, which is a 1.2-mile loop around the lake.

  • This campground is located in close proximity to multiple lakes and wetlands. Due to this, there can be an abundance of mosquitoes between the months of April and August. Please be prepared for this.

  • There is a 14-day in 30 rolling days camping limit on the Siuslaw National Forest. The 14 days does not have to be consecutive.
