South Lake Dispersed Camp is a Forest Service dispersed campsite in the Hebo Ranger District of Oregon's Siuslaw National Forest. It sits in a stretch of forest land managed by the Forest Service, and the nearest town is Hebo, about 4 miles away. The site is simple, with vault toilets as the only listed amenity. It works well as a base for exploring the surrounding area, which has a mix of paddling, hiking and camping within a short drive. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 71 to 72°F with only about three wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 40s and rain on most days. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower than the camp, so temperatures at the site run cooler. Nearby options include Hebo Lake Campground, about 4 miles away, and the Pioneer Indian and Hebo Lake Loop hikes, both a little over 4 miles off. Paddlers can head to Three Rivers, about 3 miles away.
