Trapper Creek Campground

Trapper Creek Campground is on the northwestern shore of Odell Lake in the Deschutes National Forest.

Trapper Creek Campground affords visitors beautiful views of Diamond Peak across the lake. Many Trapper Creek campers take advantage of the great fishing in Odell Lake. Anglers seek out kokanee salmon, mackinaw trout, and brown trout. A boat launch ramp is located conveniently in the campground. Nearby is Shelter Cove Resort & Marina, which offers boat rentals and a restaurant.

Trapper Creek Campground has 29 secluded campsites for RVs, trailers, and tents. Three of the campsites are multiples (or doubles) which can accommodate 12 people and 2 vehicles. Many of the campsites can be reserved while some are kept available as first-come, first-served sites. Most campsites have good shade from a mature forest of pine and fir, but other sites enjoy ample sunlight. A small stream passes the campground and feeds into Odell lake.
