About

Located 40 minutes south of Silver Lake, Oregon, Thompson Reservoir Campground is a developed campground ideally situated on the three-square-mile reservoir with pretty vistas of nearby Hager Mountain. There are 19 campsites with picnic tables, fire rings.  Other amenities include hand-pumped water, and three vault toilets. There is also one large group site. Tall ponderosa pines and a few aspen trees lord over the high mountain setting of Thompson Reservoir. Recreation opportunities include fishing, hiking, and exploring. The reservoir is stocked once a year with rainbow trout and there is a boat launch.  This campground typically opens mid-May and closes mid-October. Heavy snowfall prevents this campground from being used in the winter and early spring.  Thompson Reservoir campground is located across the reservoir from the East Bay Campground .3 Vault Toilets, Potable Water (seasonally available by hand pump), and boat rampThompson Reservoir, Silver Creek, Hager Mountain,National Recreation Trail #160, Hager Mountain Lookout, Sycan Marsh, Winter RimRecreation opportunities in the area include picnicking, flatwater water activities, fishing, hiking, bird watching, nature viewing.
