Spring Recreation Site
Overview:
The Spring Recreation Site, or Spring Rec for short, is a camping and fishing location off the beaten path away from the crowds.

The RV and tent camping sites, boat launch, boarding dock, and fish cleaning station all create a comfortable camping and fishing experience. Spring Rec is ideal for the angler, those who love the outdoors, or for those just looking for a scenic getaway.Know Before You Go:
- All vehicles must display a stub from the fee envelope in their windshield.
- Drinking water is available.
- There are no RV hookups.

Point of Interest:
Brownlee Reservoir is generally full in the spring, but a drawdown begins in summer and may result in closure of the boat ramp at lower levels. Call the Baker BLM office at 541-523-1256 for current ramp conditions.
