Private Boat Launch on Tenmile Lake
Easy Water Access for Boaters and Anglers
If you’re planning to bring your boat to the Oregon Coast, North Lake RV Resort & Marina offers the convenience of a private boat launch on Tenmile Lake—available exclusively to registered guests. Located in Lakeside, Oregon, our campground provides direct lake access just steps from your campsite, making it easy to spend more time on the water and less time hauling and trailering.
Whether you're staying in an RV or a tent, our on-site boat ramp allows you to launch quickly and securely into one of Oregon's largest and most popular lakes for boating and fishing.
Launch from Camp and Go
Our boat launch is designed to give you simple, smooth access to Tenmile Lake right from within the resort. There’s no need to leave the property or visit a crowded public ramp. From setup to launch, you’ll be on the water in minutes.
The boat ramp is located near the heart of the resort and includes:
A wide, paved ramp for easy launching and retrieval
Trailer parking nearby for convenience
Calm entry point into a quiet cove of Tenmile Lake
Short walk to nearby campsites and the marina
Access to store, bait, and supplies just steps away
Because it’s private, the launch avoids the congestion and long waits often found at public access points, especially during weekends and summer months.

Our boat launch is available only to registered guests staying at North Lake RV Resort & Marina. This helps us keep the ramp area safe, organized, and accessible for those who are staying on site.
