Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout was constructed in the 1920s and was used by the Forest Service on a regular basis until 1978. It is one of the few remaining historic lookouts in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The lookout is still used by the Forest Service in times of extreme fire danger. The lookout is accessible by car, but the last 4 miles are on unpaved roads and difficult for RVs and cars with trailers to navigate. Visitors must bring many of their own supplies. The accommodations of this lookout may be rustic, but the views guarantee that visitors will have a memorable stay.
Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout is an ideal location for sightseeing and bird watching, and it's a photographer's dream. Visitors in search of more active pursuits can drive a short distance to hike and explore the many nearby hills, clearings and caves. Medicine Lake has a day use area with a large swim beach and a boat dock.
Little Mt. Hoffman is a cinder cone on the flanks of Medicine Lake Highland, the largest identified volcano within California, which extends roughly 15 miles east to west and 25 miles north to south. Medicine Lake Highland has a caldera that is partially filled by Medicine Lake. Little Mt. Hoffman sits on the rim of this caldera at 7,309 feet, providing a panoramic view of this diverse volcanic landscape. Visitors can see a spectacular view of Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen and southern Oregon's Mt. McLoughlin. The panorama includes the Tulelake Basin to the north, the Fall River Valley in the east and the Medicine Lake Highlands to the south.

Having always wanting to , but never pulling the trigger, finally changed. OMG it was FANTASTIC!!
Easy drive, with paved roads until the very end. One receives the gate code the week prior to the reservation for the gate & door. Upon arrival you are greeted with MAGNIFICENT VISTAS 360 degrees!! Wrap-around balcony & windows!! Wee fireplace inside & a fire pit outside. 2 picnic tables. A vault toilet 20 yards away from cabin.
Don’t wait….pull the trigger!!!
Guide
We are traveling in a 20’ van. We are at lake view. Big rigs around us, but we dont feel crowded. Trails around. Fishing and just relaxing
Bathrooms (showers and toilet) are close. Need some update but I have seen worst
Has a cafe. Havent been there for food but at check in looked pretty good
TravelerCheck in was very slow. The person checking everyone in also had to make coffee drinks and ring in diner sales. I was skipped over for someone else who rushed the line to check in. The store is not well stocked but has some useful items. The boats could use some attention and a fire extinguisher would be a good idea. The gentleman who helped us get the boat out and dock it was very nice! Campfires not allowed right now which is understandable with the fire risks. They have a shower for quarters and a two stall bathroom which are very small. The lake is beautiful!

Lake of the Woods does not entirely honor the "America the Beautiful" interagency pass, even tho it is privately run it is on public NFS land that those passes should cover.
Shame on Lake of the Woods for taking money from Gold Star Families, Veterans, and Active Duty Servicemen and Women.
It's a privatized mess. Don't go there. Diamond Lake, Odell Lake, Paulina Lake are MUCH better destinations AND honor "America the Beautiful" passes.
Traveler
Gorgeous wooded campsites along the lake. VERY kind camp host (Mark) who helped me out even tho I arrived late and without rez. Clean facilities. I was in a quiet spot but lots of families/groups even on a weekday evening. Your quiet might depend on luck of who you’re situated with.
Guide
Beautiful location but stuffed full of people. I got in late on a Friday night for an RV spot for my campervan. No staff around so I found an open spot and started getting ready for bed. Staff comes and wanted me to move to my “reserved” spot, which isn’t shared with you until you arrive, down in a tightly crammed section by the lake, which means shining my headlights and making noise at 11 PM for probably 20 plus sites. After discussing she agreed moving wouldn’t be best since no one would be using the spot I was in. Felt crowded, complicated, and poorly managed.
GuideWe came in mid march so they were still technically in their “off season”. All the staff I spoke to were very kind and helpful. There was no one else tent camping so we had the whole area to ourselves. Since it was the off season the store, bathroom and restaurant were closed but it’s still a really nice area to camp. It also had good cell reception. Only thing is that it was buggy when we were there.
Scout
It is noisy due to fire station and roads. Sirens. Basic but has hookups. Nice guy in office. It’s kind of a depressing area.
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We're happy to have this property on our platform. Check them out and come back here to leave them some love.
TravelerThis was a beautiful place to stay that we got lucky booking on a holiday weekend at the last minute. We arrived around 1730 after visiting Crater Lake. There is a shop where you can buy food, drinks, alcohol, firewood, etc. The shop opens around 9am and closes at 7pm. The employees were very kind and helpful with whatever questions we had. There is access to toilets and coin showers but the men’s shower I was told from my partner was not working. Overall it’s a beautiful place to stay and I would definitely stay there again
GuideWe avoid KOAs and other full amenities campgrounds because they're pricey and not the camping experience we desire but when we have chore day, we like a one-stop shop and will seek these out to dump, shower, do laundry. This is our second stay at this particular KOA over a couple of different trips.
We'll definitely keep this on our favs list when we have chore day.
Traveler
Camp site coordinates are incorrect. Search for Camp Creek Campground, there are also Juniper Point/Mirror Cove that have free sites. Coordinates took us into a “neighborhood”, onto a private road, and all over the place while we arrived past 10pm.
Using Google Maps we were able to find out that there were nearby campgrounds and the county website says they were free FCFS.
We stayed at Camp Creek Campground right next to the dock/launch. Camp site has a nice stone table, within minutes we were swarmed by mosquitoes and our dogs had multiple thorns in each of their paws. The table became their safe place. Waking up we discovered the water was full of blue green algae with no notices around. There’s also big piles of horse poop as the horses are allowed to roam the recreation area.
Site is okay if no dogs, port-a-potty was clean. You’re better off staying at Fish Hook/Blue Heron RV Park or closer to I-5 at another RV camp site than camping here where the water should not be accessed.
TravelerWe saw the brown sign from I-5 and decided to explore Iron Gate. It was an easy 8 miles to the reservoir and another 5ish to the campground. There are a dozen or so spots right on the water. Water spigots for campers although they hadn’t been turned on. Johnny on the Spot toilets. Absolutely nothing fancy but relatively clean and safe place to spend the night or camp for a few days. Which we’ve done thrice now!
TravelerSo I saw the Eagle Point park campground on the map and on a fancy Klamath County Mountain bike trail brochure. Two signs directed me right to it but when I got there a large sign up high on a tree stated DAY USE ONLY NO CAMPING OR OVERNIGHT PARKING. the place looks great but there are definitely mixed messages here.
TravelerTrying to find somewhere after a trip up crater lake, lake of the woods fully booked out and found space here instead, basic campground that has everything you need, not the prettiest of locations but friendly and helpful hosts with everything you need
GuideWe are at site 23 for a smaller travel trailer right on the water, with a partial hookup at this site. It’s a beautiful quiet space where the birds wake you (we have loved this bird song app https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/download/ ); you can make your coffee and walk out on the dock to watch the sunrise. My partner made a 5-mile loop on the lake in just over 2 hours around and through a National Wildlife Refuge on a paddle board. I do not like that you pay to stay AND pay to take a shower, $1 for 2 1/2 minutes, and you can only go up in increments of $1. I used $3, and it was not enough. It takes 30+ secs for the water to warm, then I was caught with shampoo in my hair. My partner said I was lucky I could rinse in the sink, he had just full soaped his nethers when the water shut off. So be warned! $240 for five nights with partial hookup should cover a shower. Otherwise, the bathrooms on-site look new and are clean. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. It’s a well-run and cared-for spot. Cost to dump grey water is $25 , I’ve never seen a fee this high. I’d gladly pay $10.
Ranger
Good campsite nestled in the trees. Approximately 10 tent sites, 20 RV, and 15 cabins. RV are full hookup. Showers, laundry and friendly staff. Easy, close drive to Lava Beds National park
ScoutThis campsite is nestled in the forest away from the highway. It has cabins, RV, and tent camping available. There is a new playground for children. When you stay, a free shower is included. The bathrooms are regular flushing toilets with showers in the room and outlets if you need to blowdry your hair. The attendant on the grounds is very nice and friendly. We arrived late (9pm) and she was able to assist us with getting settled. There is a small shop next to the office. You can also book your lot reservation online. I'll include a picture of the map of the area. For those tent camping, bring a tarp for your tent to sit on. It's a dirt, rock, and pine needles area. In the morning, you'll hear song birds.

I had a blast on my dad's friends pontoon boat. He let me take 2 of my girlfriends and my boyfriend with us. We all had such a blast. It was a really nice day too. Definitely a trip to remember.
Guide*playground structure
pleasant.
GuideFor a small campground it is nice. The people are wonderful. The store is nice . It is located near grocery store and restaurants. Our favorite was King Wa. Great food.
ScoutWe where driving all day from Idaho, and we got in to the KOA round 1am ish. The restrooms were clean and the staff where supper nice.
TravelerNice & helpful hosts, several sites set aside for first come, first serve. Arrived on mid afternoon Sunday with no reservation and was able to get a lake view site. Short walk (<100yds) to lake with rocky beaches. Lots of swimmers, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, flush toilets, no showers. Forest service has been clearing dead/diseased trees, so lots of firewood laying around if they’re allowing fires. Nice lakeside trail, maybe a mile, to the day use area, resort/marina with restaurant, store, pizza, boat rentals. Mostly rv’s, deducting a star because they allow generators, which seem very popular, well into the evening. 1/2 bars of AT&T service.
GuideVery dusty. Not much ground cover other than trees. The sites are all within view of each other. The lake is very pretty.
TravelerGreat RVPark, offering camping, propane, gasoline at an affordable price, full hook-ups, store, level sites. We were escorted to our site and was asked if it worked for us and if we needed anything else, within a few minutes we also received a text asking us the same, very professional. The restrooms were a 10 with great showers and shower to die for. We highly recommend this park
GuideCamped in our trailer, while son and his family rented a cabin. Great time. Music, restaurant has delicious food, and the fishing wasn't half bad (boat rentals available). This place has thought of everything. So busy we didn't have time to put the kayaks in the water. Made reservations for September 2021 while we were there.
LegendWhether you come by yourself, spouse, pet or kids, this place has it all! Basketball area, exercise, ping pong, canoe, pontoon, trampoline and more! Word has it, they're making an area for a BATTING CAGE! What RV resort have you ever heard of with that?!
