Delintment Lake is a Forest Service campground in the Emigrant Creek Ranger District of Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon. It is a small, rustic site with vault toilets for visitors. A fee is charged for camping here. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 84°F with lows near 52°F, and September highs around 74°F. That station sits about 940 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Delintment Lake tend to run cooler. Tip Top is just 0.3 miles away. Alder Springs Camp and Buck Spring Campground are both within about 8 miles.
