Oct. 5, 2011: Cascara and Fisherman's Point campgrounds are closed for the season.
Fall Creek Reservoir is a prime recreation area surrounded by day-use parks and a campground.
Cascara campground, on the south shore near the point where Fall Creek enters the lake, is tucked away amid towering Douglas fir trees. The 47 primitive campsites are great for tenters who remember that there are times when "roughing it" means just that. Every site comes equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. The campground has a swimming area, complete with a deck, and boat ramp.
Looking for a place to camp with your group? A reservable RV group camp, Fisherman's Point, is just across the road from Cascara campground.
And if you want to get out on the reservoir, check out one of the five day-use areas. Winberry, with its two-lane boat ramp and parking for more than 100 cars and 150 boat trailers, is the largest. It's also the only one to charge a day-use fee [$5 daily day-use fee or buy a 12-month permit for $30 or a 24-month permit for $50]. These 1- and 2-year permits are good at all state park day-use areas).
There are four other day-use sites. Three offer primitive boat ramps. The North Shore site has a low-water ramp, vault toilets and is open April - September.
