Swift Forest Campground and Day Use
Campground and Day use—camping, picnicking, swimming, water sports
Last Friday of April through end of hunting season in November,
6 a.m.-9 p.m.
This is a large campground and day use site, providing 93 individual campsites,
a picnic area, restrooms, water, a two-lane boat ramp, and swimming beaches.
Campsites cannot be reserved in advance.
Swift Forest Camp has expansive views of Swift Lake. Because it is the most
remote of the PacifiCorp campgrounds, it
is generally quieter, with less of a bustling
feel than the others. There is currently a
large interpretive panel, designed primarily
for fishermen, on bull trout.
Lake level fluctuations are particularly
visible on Swift Reservoir. This suggests an
interpretive topic of reservoir fluctuations
and how the dams work together to
generate power and to sustain habitat. Bull
trout conservation information should be
posted here.
