Peninsula Campground (Olallie Lake)

Peninsula Campground is the largest campground on Olallie Lake, in the Olallie Lake Scenic Area. Olallie Lake is a large, high-elevation lake bordered in part by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation. As the name suggests, Peninsula Campground is on a large chunk of land that extends out into the lake - an ideal location for fishermen and paddle boaters.
