Little Cultus Lake Campground is on the southeastern shore of Little Cultus Lake in the Deschutes National Forest. Smaller and quieter than its neighbor Cultus Lake, 175-acre Little Cultus Lake attracts those interested in a relaxing camping place among the trees with nearby fishing and hiking. Motorized boats are permitted on Little Cultus Lake, but there is a 10 MPH speed limit. With a gently sloping bottom, the lake is popular for swimming.
Little Cultus Lake Campground features 31 campsites for RVs, trailers, and tents. The campground is in a heavily wooded area close to the lake. Many campsites have nice lake views.
