The Best Camping Near Fort Klamath, Oregon

Charming full service camp ground on a quaint little river. 23 miles south of the actual Crater Lake. Bucolic, peaceful, quiet. Forget Wi-Fi - as even the enhanced barely works - but we didn’t care - it was a perfect getaway — 

Watched the moonrise all week long! 

Stayed in the primative cabin for an evening with the spouse and our dog. The little store was great for last minute supplies and gifts, the resort offered free canoe rentals, but we had brought our own kayaks and used them in the slow moving creek. The beds in the cabin were wood, so we should have brought more pillows, but overall we loved the spot and the amenities! We would stay again and recommend it to everyone!

Wonderful Retreat

Crater lake is amazing! Highly recommended!

Amazing!

At Crater Lake taking the rim road it leads you the highest point in the park. This road is 7,860’ above sea level and the highest point around the rim drive. We stayed at Manama campground where our site D1 was facing the opposite way so that the fire ring, picnic table and amenities was on the non door and side of our trailer. So if you pick a numbered site be sure you pick a even numbered site so your rig is in the correct position.

The highest paved road in Oregon

Very nice and well kept campground within 30mins of crater lake. I had a serious issue with how tight the spots were in relation to how much room is onsite. Our sewer drain was less than a foot away from our neighbors table, as was our other neighbors to ours. Also our pop out was almost over their table. Other than that, the creek was beautiful and clear, the lake is amazing, and I wouldn’t let it stop me from coming back

Too close

We arrived late in the dark.  Woke up the next morning and what a wonderful surprise!   Beautiful slow moving river right behind our camp site.  Took the dogs for a walk and took in great views of tall pines, trout in the river and very well maintained grounds.  Although a bit pricey for a nights stay, the area is very well kept.  
Easy back in spots, looks to be 3 yurts and a dozen cabins all along the water.  Walking trails are nice as well.  

Beautiful Scenery

Very well kept campground, super clean with a creek running through it. They have canoes, fire pits, clubhouse and large camp sites. 

Hidden gem

Stayed at site PRV 18. Site is right next to the road with no sound barrier. Very loud traffic late evening and early morning. You won’t get a decent nights rest. The positive: staff very friendly, clean bathrooms, and warm showers.
