β Notice: For a YouTube video
We visited Driftwood Campground on July 15, 2015 and the following is our observations from that visit. We do not own, manage or make reservations for this or an other campground or park.
Driftwood Campground is situated on the north shore of Three Creek Lake below Tam McArthur Rim. The area in the campground and nearby is covered with a mature forest. Between the lake and the hiking trails you shouldn't have any trouble finding something to do.
Amenities
Recreation
Recreational oppotunities abound here. The lake is is available for fishing, boating, canoeing and float tubing. You can play on the beach, wade or swim also. There are trails in hills around the lake.
Little Three Creek Lake Trailhead is at the entrance to Driftwood Campground. The trail to Tam McArthur Rim View Point is across the road near the entrance
and I have published a review of that hike in the review of Three Creek Lake Campground.
Fees & Reservations
Getting There
We drove from Sisters, Oregon. Find So. Elm St and follow it south out of town. It becomes Three Creek Lake Road as you leave town. It is about 17 miles south on that road to the campground entrance.
