It was first come, first served when I was there. What you expect from free USFS campsites. Fire rings.
Google will take you down some crazy roads. Look at the map before getting on the dirt road and choose the roads that are the straightest; those will get you there easiest. Panhandle rd on the north side of the creek will take you most of the way.
Guide
There’s nothing here except the highway but you can drive down the bike trail and stay there as well, just so your further away from the lot and the road.
Scout
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.

Free. Nice location. Except for generator noise from larger rigs on both sides of our site, this free campground is quiet. Only a few campers here. Sites are not numbered. Picnic areas are mixed in. There are a handful of sites. We were in a pull-thru site along the reservoir. Not level, but okay. Clean picnic table & metal firering on site. Gravel campground road & site driveways. The single vault toilet is stocked & reasonably clean. Several cows were grazing in the area. Some waterfowl on the reservoir. Access to campground from Highway 31 is on a wide & well maintained gravel road. There were a few folks bank fishing. Volcanic rock is everywhere; may make tent camping in some spots hard. Didn't see opportunities for hammock camping. Did not see hiking trails. This was a good campground for an overnight stay. Convenient to Highway 31. T-Mobile LTE service. No AT&T cell service.
Guide
A good choice if all you want is a place to park for the night. $15 for dry camping, $20 for electric, $25 for water. Free WiFi $5 Dump station Good for dry weather, the parking lot will probably be muddy if wet.

Sur les conseils d une rangers nous avons passé une nuit avant d obtenir une place a mazama. Très calme
Guide
One night layover on the way to Crater National Park. Level sites. Well maintained and clean. Right off the river...love the views.
Guide
This place is under new ownership and they claim to be sprucing up the place. This may be so, but the restrooms are in need of repair, no electric outlets in bathrooms and one small sink, primitive mirror and a board shelf, no vanity, two out of three toilets in the ladies room are out of service and my wife said it smells awful. She spoke to another camper about it and they said they reported it earlier and nothing has been done yet. A little road noise but not too bad at night. Some shaded areas and all gravel. No fire rings or picnic tables. I’m assuming gas fire pit only as there are no fire rings
TravelerGreat place to layover. Staff is super. Facilities clean. Has small island where dogs can be off leash and play in the water. Beautiful river. Few folks fly fishing. One star off only for the highway noise - but if you live on or near a busy road or highway you may not even notice it. If the campground was further off the highway, it would be a five. ATT was usable. Didn’t try WiFi.
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
Guide
Strongly advise 4x4 to get up there, stayed outside the hut and surprisingly a lot of flys. Perfect star gazing spot.
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!
Traveler
I had a great experience sleeping overnight in my car at the travel center! Just make sure you ask the cashiers before crashing for the night! Was such a great experience I ended up sleeping there a night on my way into town, and a second on my way back home!
Guide
Great quiet camping. Large flat easy to park and hook up. Tent camping also offered. Very clean.
TravelerWe loved this spot! We were in Space 2. Right next to the river . No one blocking our view. Very hot. No shade. However,we were right near the bridge to dog island. Once cross the bridge our lab could get off the leash and lose his mind jumping in and out of the river. That was great.
We didn’t have sewer hook ups but that was more than made up for by the pristine bathrooms, showers, and laundry. My wife said that alone makes this a 10.
And you must go to the little dive cafe in Chiloquin for breakfast. I th8nk it was called “Pops”. Right next to the post office. The corned beef was the best I have ever had. And don’t forget the gravy. Give BIG tip. This is a native American town and your tourist dollar goes a long way. I am serious.
Afterwards,go check out the free miniature train ride at Train Mountain. If you have kids it is a must. Really fun
And of course, Crater Lake is a must see
ScoutThis campground is an excellent choice for an overnight stay when visiting Crater Lake National Park. The sites offer flat ground, making it easy to set up a tent. Although it is close to the road, it is secluded enough to provide a peaceful night's sleep. Be aware that during our visit, we encountered many hungry and persistent mosquitoes, so I highly recommend bringing insect repellent and other mosquito-prevention measures.
The tent sites can be found by following an unpaved road downhill from the large parking lot. There are two basic restrooms located at the entrance, but there is no potable water available, so be sure to bring your own. If you don't use the entry restrooms, please practice Leave No Trace principles to keep the area clean and natural. The proximity to Crater Lake allows for convenient early morning starts to explore the park. Overall, it's a great spot for both solo travelers and families looking for a comfortable camping experience.

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.
Traveler
This little campground was a great find! As a tent camper, this felt much more peaceful compared to Collier Memorial campgrounds which seems to be geared towards RV camping. Campsites are pretty private, good tree coverage, and bathrooms were clean. Camp host was very kind and friendly. I can't wait to stay here again!
GuideCamped three nights along with hiking the trails near by. Campground was very quiet with many open spots. Our site was very large and had a beautiful view of the reservoir. We had two eagles that were hanging out in a tree right next to us. It was a real treat to watch the eagles for a few days. I brought my paddle board and enjoyed the peaceful reservoir. The wind does pick up every afternoon so secure your tent. Fishing was amazing and we caught and released many fish back into lake. Bring your own water. There is a pump but it is out of order. We definitely will be coming back. All the near by hiking trails were amazing. Four days on the trails and we didn’t see a sole.
GuideThe pin on map is off by about 2 miles, but once you find correct spot, it's pretty nice. Clean and easy access. Short walk to the river. (The gravel road in is nice however recent logging has made it a bit bumpy)
Guide
No frill Forest Service campground in the Fremont-Winemaker National Forest. On a warm June night, it’s a pleasure to have a campground like this entirely to one’s self.
Guide
I stayed here on the first night of the Oregon Outback. It is a very small simple designated camping area with a very clean pit toilet and a few picnic tables but nothing else.
A few loggers and Forest service trucks passed on the road, but mostly traffic was cyclists.
Listened to birds and coyotes and enjoyed being under the canopy of stars. Great little spot.
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.
Guide
Like many free parks, the homeless took advantage and made it unsafe. Last summer, the county closed it to overnight stays. The casino north of the park now charges $10 a night, so the nearest free overnight spot north bound is the rest area south of Chemalt. But still a nice stop for a brake from the drive.
GuideUse to be free for overnight but now costs ten bucks a night with a 5 night max. No hookups as it is a dry camping spot. The casino is smoke-free and pleasant with machines only. No live games. Gas, propane, and diesel are available as is a c-store . Good restaurant with a bar in the casino.
TravelerWe didn’t spend the night, only stopped for a few hours to make dinner and stretch out legs. They have designated pet relief areas, lots of signs that say “no pets” on all other areas of grass. Super clean, lots of space, you have road noise but that’s a given.
