Loon Lake Campground Closing Monday
Reedsport, Ore. – Loon Lake Recreation Area, east of Reedsport, will be closed for overnight
camping effective Monday, August 12 at 11 a.m. due to a lack of potable water and restroom
facilities.
The day use area at the campground, including the beach and boat ramp, will remain open daily
for visitors from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Portable restroom facilities will be available, but there will be
no water. Visitors should come prepared with the water they need to enjoy their day at the lake.
“It was an incredibly dry spring and our wells and water reserves are all but dry,” said Mike
Kelly, Loon Lake Manager. “The lack of safe drinking water and restroom facilities has
prompted us to close the campground to protect people’s health. We are sorry for the
inconvenience the closure will cause people.”
Those visitors who had a campsite reserved after August 11 will receive a notice and a full
refund of their camping fees from Reserve America. People can call Reserve America at 1-877444-6777 if they have questions about their reservation and refund.
Visitors with questions about the closure can contact Loon Lake staff at 541-599-2254.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National
System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million
acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and
productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on
public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In
addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
