About this place

Carter Lake Campground is a family favorite in the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area. Part of the campground is located on the dunes where children love to play in the sand, and the other half is located on Carter Lake, perfect for fishing and boating. Campsites are nestled among shore pine, sitka spruce, Douglas fir and native rhododendron. Drinking water and flush toilets are available and each site has a campfire pit and picnic table. Parking aprons are paved. Hiking the Carter Dune Trail #1384, fishing for rainbow trout, canoeing and kayaking, and off-road vehicle riding are all nearby activities. A fee is charged. From Florence Oregon, travel south on Highway 101 for 11 miles. Carter Lake Campground entrance is on the west side of Highway 101.
