About West South Twin Campground
Overview Located on the shore of Wickiup Reservoir in Deschutes National Forest, West South Twin Campground offers visitors easy access to an abundance of recreational activities along the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway. Recreation West South Twin Campground offers visitors opportunities for hiking, boating, canoeing, swimming and fishing. The reservoir's relatively warm water and cooler deep channels generate some of the best fishing in Central Oregon. The area is renowned for its brown trout, often reaching 20 pounds, with normal catches in the 5-to-8 pound range. The reservoir also sustains good numbers of kokanee and coho salmon and decent populations of rainbow trout, brook trout, whitefish and chub. Facilities Located between South Twin Lake and the Wickiup Reservoir, West South Twin Campground has easy access to both lakes. Campsites can accomodate tent, trailer and RV camping. Each campsite features a picnic table and campfire ring. This campground offers flush toilets, as well as, a boat launch area leading to Wickiup Reservoir. Natural Features The reservoir covers an area on the Deschutes River that was historically used by Native Americans during the fall. Several tribes throughout the area built "wickiups," shelters made from reeds, grass, or brush, while living in the area. At full pool, Wickiup is a beautiful, pine-edged reservoir, with some willows and sandy beach areas. At low water, steep soil and gravel banks drop abruptly to the water. Wetland
