Bend/Fort Rock Ranger DistrictDeschutes National Forest

Point is a Forest Service campground in the Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District of Deschutes National Forest in Oregon, about a mile from Elk Lake. It sits next to the lake and offers a boat launch, so it works well as a base for getting on the water. The site also serves as a hub for hiking and horseback riding in the area. Vault toilets are the only facility listed, and a fee is charged for recreation here. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Wickiup Dam weather station show July highs around 83°F with lows near 47°F and only about three wet days in the month, while winter highs stay in the 30s and 40s. Elk Lake Campground is about a mile away, and Little Fawn Campground is under a mile off. The Elk Lake and Six Lakes hikes both start within a mile. Hosmer Lake, about a mile away, offers more fishing.
