Campsites are limited to eight people and two vehicles
to protect natural resources. Parking for one vehicle is
included in the campsite rate; a second vehicle is subject to
an extra vehicle fee per night. All vehicles must be parked
on the pavement at the site or in a designated parking
area. Once a site has two registered vehicles, no other
vehicle can register to that site. Designated parking areas
at Detroit are assigned and used only for boat trailers and
second vehicles that cannot fit on site pavement. The park
has no overflow parking.
Smoking in Oregon State Parks is allowed only in personal vehicles, RVs,
campsites and portions of day use parks along state highways that are
designated as safety rest areas by the Oregon Department of Transportation.
The campground has horseshoe pits, a basketball court and
a volleyball area; check out equipment from the registration
booth. Loop A has a playground. A 2.7-mile hiking trail runs
the perimeter of the campground.
The Detroit Lake Visitor Center has information on activities and services in the area. Purchase books, gifts, bagged ice,
coffee and soft drinks in the gift store.
Mongold Day-Use Area
Mongold Day-Use Area is located 1.2 miles west of the
campground on Oregon Highway 22. It offers year-round
boating access, weather permitting. Facilities include:
• Large paved boat ramp with seasonal courtesy dock
• Low-water winter ramp
• Enclosed swim area with a grass “beach”
• Restrooms with changing areas
• Picnic area
• 72 single-car and 120 RV/trailer parking spaces
Overnight parking at Mongold is permitted if you are camping
on Piety Island or on a shoreline accessible only by boat.
A valid day-use parking permit is required for all days the
vehicle is in the park.
The park’s fishing dock is accessible from the F loop area.
Anglers can search out rainbow trout, catfish, kokanee
(landlocked blueback salmon), and landlocked Chinook.
Courtesy boat ramps are located in the D and G loops,
with 15-minute time limits for loading and unloading
passengers and gear. Boat trailer parking is available at the
G loop ramp. Overnight boat moorages are available in the
F and H loops and may be rented by registered campers.
Day-Use Parking
Day-use parking permits are required year-round in
both the Mongold Day-Use Area and the Detroit Lake
campground. You will need to display either a daily
permit, a 12- or 24-month permit, or a camping receipt.
Your camping receipt serves as a daily permit for all of
the days you are registered. You can purchase a daily
permit at the entrance booth or from a nearby vending
machine. The 12-month and 24-month day-use permits
are sold at the overnight campground booth and at major
state park offices.
