West South Twin is a campground in Oregon, set within the Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest and on the Wickiup Reservoir. The Bureau of Reclamation manages the land, and the site sits about 0.1 mile from South Twin Lake, making it one of the closest neighbors in this cluster of campgrounds around the reservoir. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June through September, when typical averages from the nearby Wickiup Dam weather station run from highs around 71°F in June to about 83°F in July, with only three or four wet days a month. Winter is cold, with typical January highs near 40°F and lows around 21°F. The campground has flush toilets, and a fee is charged. South Twin Lake is right next door, and North Twin Lake and Gull Point Campground are both within about a mile and a half. For a walk, the Twin Lake hike starts about 1.2 miles away.
