Campground details
Setting
Acorn Womans Lake Campground features walk-in, tent-only campsites spread through a mixed-conifer forest on the banks of Acorn Womans Lake. Campers park outside the entrance gate and walk between 1/4 mile and 1.5 miles along footpaths to reach the 10 individual or five group sites. Facilities include picnic tables, campfire rings, vault toilets, and a drinking water hand pump near site #2. On-site trails connect to a smaller neighboring lake, with options for swimming, non-motorized boating, and trout fishing.
Getting there: From Jacksonville, Oregon, take Highway 238 west 7 miles and turn left at Ruch on Road 859. Go 14 miles to Applegate Dam, cross over the dam (Road 1075) and continue on pavement 2 miles. When pavement ends, continue 7 miles to the campground.
