Jubilee Lake Campground

Jubilee Lake Campground offers a dedicated boat ramp providing access to Jubilee Reservoir on Mottet Creek, a scenic high-elevation water body nestled in spruce-fir forest on the Umatilla National Forest. Located 20 miles east of Weston, Oregon via Highway 204 and Forest Service Road 64, this is the largest and most popular campground on the forest, making it a well-developed access point for paddlers and boaters. The lake is known for excellent fishing and swimming in a beautiful mountain setting.

The facility caters to non-motorized boating and electric trolling motors only. Day-use visitors can launch from the boat ramp located near the campground parking area, which is also the trailhead for the Jubilee Lake Recreation Loop Trail (#3230), a 2.6-mile National Recreation Trail circling the lake. The campground includes 53 campsites (48 tent/RV and 5 tent-only), ample facilities with flush and vault toilets, and a day-use area, making it ideal for multi-day trips or day outings.

For reservations and additional information, contact the campground at (509) 522-6290 or visit Recreation.gov. This high-elevation location provides a peaceful escape during summer months, though paddlers should plan accordingly for mountain weather and seasonal conditions.
