Overview

Hebo Lake Campground is ideal for those wanting a secluded, quiet camping getaway in the forest. Located on Mt. Hebo, this small, family campground has 12 campsites, a historic picnic shelter, a three-acre lake, and access to hiking trails. All 12 campsites are reservable from April through October. The picnic shelter can also be reserved for day-use activities, for groups of up to 25 people. During the winter months (November-March) the campground is closed and is only available for day-use activities. April and October campsites are weather dependent so please be prepared for cancellations. If this happens your reservations will be refunded. 

Hebo Lake is cashless so please pay before you arrive as service is limited at the campground. You can either download the recreation.gov app on your phone to pay for day-use and camping fees or go online on your computer or tablet to recreation.gov and pay there. Please go to Siuslaw National Forest on rec.gov and look for day use or if you are camping please pick your site and length of stay at the campground. Any questions please contact the Hebo Ranger Station at (503) 392-5100 we are open Monday - Friday 8 AM - 4 PM.

Recreation

A historic picnic shelter built by the Civil Conservation Corps in 1937, and restored in 2016, is available for day use at the Hebo Lake Day Use site. The 1/2 mile Hebo Lake Loop Trail is a pleasant hike around the lake, and access to the Pioneer - Indian Trail is nearby. Anglers will find five accessible fishing docks around the popular three-acre lake, which is stocked with rainbow trout.

Facilities

Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets are provided but there is no drinking water.

Natural Features

At an elevation of 1,650 feet, the surrounding forest of western hemlock, Douglas fir, and red alder make the area quite enjoyable on a hot summer day.
