Sru Lake is a Forest Service campground in the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon. It sits within the national forest's boundaries, and the Forest Service manages the land. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sexton Summit show July and August highs around 77°F with only about two wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 40s and rain on roughly half the days. There is no fee to stay here. The closest neighbors are Coquille River Falls, about 1.3 miles away, and Island Camp, about 1.9 miles away. Daphne Grove and the South Fork Coquille River, a paddling route, are both within about 3 miles.
