About this campground
Nestled along the pristine shores of Miller Lake, Digit Point Campground invites you to experience the majesty of the Oregon Cascades with stunning views of Mt. Thielsen piercing the sky. This thoughtfully designed campground features a series of loops that place you right at the water's edge, where morning mist dances across the lake and evening alpenglow paints the mountain peaks. Each site comes equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings, and access to potable water, while modern amenities including three flush toilets, a vault toilet, and an RV dump station ensure comfort during your wilderness retreat.
Digit Point Campground provides options for tent camping, RV camping, and combined sites. Primitive camping is not explicitly mentioned.
Historical SignificanceNull
Weather and SeasonsPlan your visit wisely as Digit Point transforms with the seasons. While summer brings warm days perfect for lake activities, June and July welcome clouds of mosquitoes eager to join your adventure—pack that bug spray liberally! As autumn arrives, the campground quiets and the aspens turn gold. Winter's heavy snowfall typically closes access, blanketing this alpine paradise in pristine white until spring's return.
ElevationPerched at 5,600 feet above sea level, Digit Point offers that perfect high-altitude escape where the air is crisp, the stars shine brighter, and every breath feels refreshingly pure. This elevation provides cooler temperatures even during summer's peak, making it an ideal retreat from valley heat.
Natural Features and SceneryStep into an enchanted forest where towering hemlocks, white pines, white firs, and sugar pines create a natural cathedral of shade and serenity. This dense coniferous canopy shelters an abundance of wildlife—watch for magnificent osprey diving for fish, bald eagles soaring overhead, and the haunting calls of loons echoing across the water. Grebes paddle peacefully along the shoreline, adding to the symphony of nature that makes every moment here memorable.
Geological RegionDigit Point claims its spectacular position on Miller Lake's south shore, where crystal-clear waters meet the dramatic backdrop of the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness. This volcanic wonderland showcases nature's artistry through ancient lava flows now clothed in magnificent stands of hemlock, white pine, white fir, and sugar pine. The dense forest canopy creates intimate, shaded sanctuaries throughout the campground, while the proximity to wilderness boundaries promises endless exploration opportunities for the adventurous soul.
