All Sites are First Come - First Served

Mallard Marsh Campground along with South Campground has a loyal following of campers who return every year. The campgrounds together are commonly referred to as the Hosmer Lake Campgrounds. Mallard is on a river bed (Mallard Marsh) that leads into Hosmer Lake and South has a popular day use area with a boat ramp on Hosmer Lake. Mallard has 15 mostly large sites and South has 23 sites that are also large and pretty much secluded from one another. Even though almost every site can handle the largest RV or trailer, the RV rating is only a 3 because the road is often rutted and the sites were clearly not meant to accommodate luxury RVs. We have tried to improve them though and I believe any camper would be happy here. The area is not that easy to find but is just south of Elk Lake. Take the FS Road 4625 off of the Cascade Lakes Highway (FS Road 46) to Hosmer Lake. South Campground will come up on the right side first and then Mallard Marsh. If you are in a group, and one of the campgrounds is full, camping in the other is almost like being in the same campground.

10 MPH speed limit is enforced for boating on Hosmer.

We expect to have a host in the Mallard Marsh Campground from about Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. Otherwise an attendant will be visiting the campground two to four times per day.

RV use rating is a 4 (out of 5)
