Link Creek Campground
Link Creek Campground rests on the western shore of 253-acre Suttle Lake along Highway 20 in the Deschutes National Forest. Link Creek is the most popular of the 3 Forest Service campgrounds at the lake because of its level campsites, easy lake access, and long camping season. Fishing for kokanee, rainbow trout, brown trout, and whitefish is rewarding. The lake is also popular for boating, water skiing, and windsurfing. A launch ramp is found at the campground. Hikers and mountain bikers take off on the 3.2-mile Suttle Lake Shoreline Trail. Views of grand Mt. Washington can be enjoyed from many places around the lake.
Link Creek Campground offers 33 campsites for RVs, trailers, and tents. Nine campsites have pull-through driveways. Three of the campsites are doubles. A surrounding forest of Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir shades the campsites. A dozen campsites are along the lake's shore. While most sites can be reserved ahead of arrival, some are available as first-come, first-served sites. The campground also has 3 Yurts.
Link Creek Campground Yurts
Link Creek Campground has 3 yurts which are available to rent year-round. Winter visitors often use the yurts as a base for cross-country ski outings. Each yurt has a bunkbed with a double on the bottom and single on the top. There is also a double fold-out futon. Each yurt has a table and a couple of chairs. Heat is provided by a wood stove. Often there is some wood left to get a fire burning. In winter visitors need to bring their own drinking water.
Each yurt can accommodate up to 6 people and 1 vehicle. Pets are not allowed at the yurt sites.
Fee: $50 per night
