Osprey Point RV Resort

There’s loads of great open-air activity to be had on and around the lake: you can swim in the natural water from one of the beaches, take a stroll on a waterside path, hire canoes or have a go at windsurfing, waterskiing or wakeboarding. It’s not just freshwater that provides the activities around these parts – you’re only a few minutes’ drive from the coast, too, with lots of protected areas open for hiking and bike trails. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is about a 15-minute drive away, and the Shore Acres State Park about 45 minutes away. Bring your binoculars, as it’s possible to see whales passing by these shores at ant time of year. More wildlife can be spotted at Sea Lion Caves, an hour’s drive away; at times, hundreds of Steller sea lions can be found in this huge natural cave that’s about as tall as a 12-storey building. Moving a little inland, the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area is around a half-hour drive from the park.
