Emigrant Lake County Park is one of my favorite places to stay, partly because it is so scenic and partly because it is at a convenient place on the way from Southern Oregon to Northern California. I was here last October for a week, but at that point, the lake was not much more than a puddle because the lake is used as a reservoir and gets filled during the winter rains. During this visit, however, the lake was completely full and busy with kayakers and people fishing, besides the local college rowing club that practices here almost every day. The weather was a lot warmer than last October, as well.
One interesting thing about this part of the campground is that there are two levels to the oval camping loop. This means that the part of the loop farthest from the lake is about 20' higher than the lower area. It is also a LOT quieter when the campground is full, and I like the view up here, as you can see by where I am parked.
I was camping here with my older son and his family, so it was a busy time. We were here also for the Shakespeare Festival sponsored by the nearby town Ashland and the local University of Southern Oregon, so we got a chance to see a couple of plays.
Overall, this was a fun week with family and excellent weather.
