Any Cheryl Strayed/Reese Witherspoon fans in the house? Retrace their Wild footsteps in the Fremont-Winema National Forest; part of the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail falls along the forest’s western edge. And the forest certainly is “wild”: the 2.3 million acres of lush green forests and alpine meadows shelter elk, antelope, bobcats, and bears--plus intrepid adventure seekers, like yourself! In the summer, try hiking or biking along the Crane Trail, which offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. And don’t fret when the weather turns cold and snowy; Fremont-Winema turns into a winter wonderland! Strap on ski goggles and coast downhill, or rev it up on a snowmobile at the Quartz Mountain Sno-park. Back at camp, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa--with extra marshmallows, thank you very much--and start planning for your next day in Oregon paradise.

Clear sunny mornings, quiet starry nights, and an alpaca and a donkey for company, it’s the perfect launch pad from which to work or explore. We’ll be back and bring more apples for the donkey.

48mi from Alturas · 1 site · Lakeview, OR
Junipers Reservoir RV Resort stands out as a hidden gem nestled within the scenic KV Bar Ranch, offering guests a tranquil escape with breathtaking views of the 175-acre Junipers Reservoir. Established nearly 30 years ago by Chuck and Treva Kelley, this RV park was designed to showcase the natural beauty of the area while providing a peaceful retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. Accessible via a one-mile gravel driveway, the resort is surrounded by a lush juniper forest, creating a serene atmosphere for visitors. Originally a stocked trout fishing reservoir, Junipers Reservoir has evolved over the years thanks to enhancements made to Muddy Creek, which channels snowmelt from the mountains. This has significantly improved trout spawning habitats, allowing for exceptional fishing experiences without the need for annual stocking. Guests can enjoy free fishing in the reservoir, along with amenities such as a fish cleaning sink, hiking and biking trails, rock-hounding, bird watching, wildlife viewing, horseshoes, and volleyball. The open-air pavilion offers stunning views, making it a perfect spot to relax and soak in the surroundings. In 2014, John and Teresa Shine revitalized the KV Bar Ranch, which has deep family roots in Lake County. The ranch was originally operated by John’s great uncle and grandfather, who immigrated from Ireland in the
