My best recommendation would be to check back each day at Recreation.gov.

Also what are the limitaions as far as trails and pets in the area Theresa Reply Campsite Photos says: Jun 14 2019 at 3:37 pm Hi Theresa, Bears are usually not a problem at Poole Creek campground. Pets are allowed in the campground (on a leash), but we’re not sure about not the trails. You may want to call the campground directly regarding latest bear activity and/or pets on the trails: 541-498-2531 Reply Ruth says: Jul 23 2019 at 7:33 pm Wondering how mosquitoes are in mid August at Lemolo Lake/Poole Creek campground. We want to come prepared. 🙂 Reply Campsite Photos says: Jul 23 2019 at 8:47 pm Hi Ruth, With the big winter/water – there are a lot of mosquitoes this year up at Lemolo Lake/Poole Creek. Bring repellant – DEET (with at least 30%). Reply Ruth says: Jul 26 2019 at 11:10 pm Thanks so much for the information! Super helpful! Ruth says: Jul 26 2019 at 11:14 pm Another question for our family that’s coming in a few weeks…what is the water like temperature wise in mid-August? Also, we’re wondering how the lake water is for swimming as far as “stuff” in the water goes…can you swim around easily or are there a lot of water plants that will wrap around your feet and such? Thanks much for the help! 🙂 Reply Campsite Photos says: Jul 29 2019 at 7:55 am Hi Ruth, We’re not sure about the current water conditions of Lemolo Lake. My guess is that the water temp is low 70s. You might try calling the campground to see if they have more info: 541-498-2531 Reply Ruth says: Aug 1 2019 at 1:10 am Thanks for the information. Most of our family has never been and this site has been so helpful. We’re really looking forward to being together and knowing what to expect is great! Reply Dolores says: Jul 26 2020 at 11:31 am Will mosquitoes still be fierce in late August? Reply Campsite Photos says: Jul 26 2020 at 6:51 pm Hi Dolores, Yes – mosquitoes will be quite active at Poole Creek campground in August. Bring your repellent! Reply Cindy Rejda says: Jun 15 2021 at 6:50 pm This will be a first for us. Wondering what the nearest store would be if we needed anything or should I plan on making sure we have enough for the whole week. Reply Campsite Photos says: Jun 15 2021 at 7:10 pm Hi Cindy, Diamond Lake has a gas station/convenience store, and the Diamond Lake Resort has a small store. Diamond Lake is about 11 miles away. The town of Chemult has a small store, gas, etc. It is about 42 miles away. Have fun on your first camping trip to Poole Creek! Reply Alan Page says: Dec 27 2024 at 12:02 pm When is this campground going to start making reservations? Most of the time I can get on the site and make reservations the middle of December for the middle of June. My anniversary on 6/15 and I love to stay at Poole creek campground then. Please let me know what time it is opening up for reservations. Thank you Reply Camp Ranger says: Dec 27 2024 at 12:23 pm Hi Alan, Poole Creek Campground generally opens mid May through October although the Forest Service has not yet set an opening date. Reservations can be made 6 months prior to your date of arrival. So, for example, if you wanted to arrive June 15, then the first date to make a reservation would have been on December 15 (8 AM). Since an opening date has not been set – no campsites have been released/open to reserve. Best bet is to check back each day (clicking on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button) to see if the campground is open to reservations, or you can sign up for a Campsite Availability Alert and receive a text and email alert when a site becomes available to reserve on the dates you want to stay.
