Bunker Hill Campground

Nestled alongside the shimmering waters of Lemolo Lake, Bunker Hill Campground offers a serene escape into nature within the breathtaking Umpqua National Forest. This picturesque campground is a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts who seek to immerse themselves in a diverse landscape marked by towering coniferous trees and steep canyon drops.

Available Campsites

Bunker Hill Campground features five standard sites, all available by reservation only. Each site is thoughtfully equipped with:

Picnic tables for outdoor dining
Campfire rings for cozy evenings
Grills for cooking meals under the open sky
