Scott Lake Willamette Nat. Forest/McKenzie Dist.
This quiet and spread out campground has 20 tent sites with tables and fireplaces. Some of these sites are walk-in only. There are pit toilets, but no drinking water. This campground offers one of the best views of the Three Sisters around. Huckleberries abound. There are several hiking trails to choose from including the Hand Lake Traill, the Scott Mountain Trail, and the Old Scott Party Route that begins right across the road from the entrance to the campground on the Hwy. 242. The Scott Mountain Trail leads to Benson Lake and Tenas Lakes, both excellent swimming lakes, and Scott Mountain, which offers great views of the Three Sisters as well as Mt. Washington, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Jefferson, and the Belknap Craters. This hike is well worth while. The Hand Lake Trail leads to Hand Lake and the Hand Lake Shelter. Camp Melakwa is 1 mile away. Be sure to bring bug repellent as the mosquitoes are thick.
