Right off I-5 so if traffic noise bothers you this may not be the place for you. Lower part of D loop tends to be buffered by the hill and sites in E loop. The road for the sites in C loop is a bit small but can be managed.
This is a reservation only state park but you can make the reservations day of before getting there. A loop is now Yurts and group camping.
We were here over Labor Day weekend and although full, the campgound was quiet except for occasional traffic noise, mainly big rigs or loud groups of motorcyclist.
Mazama Campground offers a serene retreat nestled within Crater Lake National Park, surrounded by a lush forest that provides privacy and tranquility. The reservation process requires you to provide your dates and size of RV and are assigned a site when you arrive. As I walked around it appeared pull-through sites were for RVs and trailers, and back-in sites that were assigned to tent or car campers. The pull through sites were long, some are asphalt and others dirt. Our site D5 was asphalt and level. The amenities, including clean bathrooms, accessible water spigots, and regular trash collection, contribute to a comfortable stay. The general store is a convenient spot for registration, fuel, and showers, it's also the starting point for exploring the breathtaking Crater Lake via tour bus or personal vehicle. Even though a forest fire limited visibility of the lake, Mazama Campground remains a memorable destination for its natural beauty and well-maintained facilities.
They have about 4 first come first serve sites, otherwise sites are available if tag on site is not for the nite you pull in. Plenty were available when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. Most sites are wide but many are not real long, but width allows for unhooking and space for vehicle or creative parking. Sites are spread out nicely. Our site had no site on one side and back to a trail to lake. Toilets were flush with sink. They honor the senior/golden/etc passes. Some highway noise. But quiet at nite.
The campground is in the beautiful forest a short drive from Crater Lake NP. We had a site along the Rogue river, a short distance from a pebble beach that the kids loved exploring. The campground was busy and several groups were quite boisterous. The sites were semi private with trees in between, but water spouts were few and far between. The vault toilets weren’t very clean. The Union Creek resort stores were just outside the entrance, so it was easy to stay stocked on ice and grab an ice cream cone while we were at it.
The Cabin is perfectly fine, but don’t expect any frills. No cell service or WiFi. No tv. No fridge. The water is hot. Note that this“cabin” is actually four different hotel rooms that all walls. You are not in a quaint cabin in the woods. You are in a bare bones hotel room with thin walls and no amenities. There is a picnic table outside but no real lounge area despite being in the middle of a gorgeous national park.
I ended up in this cabin because the system that manages the reservations screwed up. I booked and RV site 6 months ago and was called two weeks before and told that they overbooked. The only way to accommodate me was to have me stay in one site for one night and then move to a different site for 8 nights. However the 8 night site turned out to be too short for my RV when I showed up there(I was always up front about the length of my rig). I was told the only thing open for the length of my stay was a cabin and were told to park the RV in the cabin parking lot and stay in the cabin.
Things that occurred over the course of 9 days:
Housekeeping knocking on my door at 730am on a Saturday provide service while I was asleep. They typically knocked on my door 2-3 times per day to ask when I was leaving.
running out of toilet paper and having to walk 3/4 mile to the camp store to get more(there is no phone in the room and no service)
the power going out
and my favorite, getting home from dinner at 10pm to find that our keys had been deactivated because“they thought we were leaving that day” and having to drive up to the crater rim(30 min round trip) to get new keys because the camp store closes at 9pm
The campground advertised laundry but the laundry is broken with no timeline to fix.
All in all, I just wanted what I paid for, a campsite with electric that fit my RV. Not a weird parking lot spot and a half-baked hotel room.
Unfortunately this campground is the only game in town. Good luck with your visit to crater lake.
This campground is huge! We were in F loop, which is the last loop of the campground and our site was a partial hook-up site on the outside edge so we had a nice view of fields behind us. It was pretty much full sun though and the weekend (Fri-Sun) we were there it was HOT! On Friday when we arrived it was in the upper 90s with pretty high humidity. We pretty much ran our a/c non-stop. Saturday was overcast so we had a bit of a reprieve from the sun, it was still in the mid to upper 80s though. It was a nice walk to the paved trail and there were dirt trails off of that to get down to the river. Even though we had our a/c on at night, I could still hear the peaceful sound of crickets and other night time noises and I found the park to be fairly quiet even though it is right along I-5. There was a ton of space between our site and the sites on either side of us.
Full service RV Park in the national Forest 40 minutes from Crater lake rim. Large Park in the woods. Visited in late July and it was only half full. For the weekday pretty quiet and peaceful. Some deferred maintenance like roadways crumbling in spots but all the basics were met. Great little pizza restaurant on the lakes edge is just walking distance.
Came here not really knowing what to expect and we were surprised with what we got. Road was was easy to get up, however 4x4 is definitely needed for the spots up on the rocks. Lovely view where we were! Lots of little camp fires scattered around the area .
Staying here is chill and peaceful. Abigail in the office is kind and very helpful. A bit expensive but everywhere is expensive lately (and the high sewer bill is on the city not the park).
Hamaker Campground has been abandoned for nearly 10 years and is now "free dispersed camping" without any improvements. There are no bathrooms. There is no host. ODFW is not present here. To call it Douglas, OR is untrue!
We had to go in a ways before finding a suitable spot, but it was very secluded. We camped near the road but nobody came through the whole night we stayed. An owl swooped right through our camp site and scared the crap out of us. Easy route in and out.
We did prior reservations, but the f loop was mostly empty. We had to book online, triggering the $8 convenience fee which is frustrating. The sites are nice, large and well spaced but pretty close to the highway from a noise standpoint. Showers are available, and flush toilets., we'll normally.... lightning took out power just as we arrived and that kills sewers to the showers too. River access is not what I had hopped for, no rocky beach to lay chairs and play with a dog. Instead there is a wonderful river path with intermittent drops down into the river. It was running very fast when we where thwre and this didn't seem a great option for getting the dog a swim. Nice bike path that goes all the way into town. Hopefully power get restored soon, it's over 100F.
Great quiet camping. Large flat easy to park and hook up. Tent camping also offered. Very clean.
This 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.
This is definitely a campground for families. not much privacy between spots, they are all pretty much right next to eachother. if you’re looking for a more secluded, private campground i wouldn’t recommend this. that being said the nature surrounding the campground is pretty. i’m sure the lake is nice to take a dip in, wouldn’t know because we left early but if you’re just looking for a family vacation this would be a good spot. bathrooms were mostly clean and they have showers! and allowed fires even in the heatwave.
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.
Great spot to stop for a night or even a couple of nights. There was still plenty of snow on the ground when we came here in April, but it really didn't feel too cold.
Cell service is iffy in this entire area, I wouldn't count on having reception. But the sky is wide open for Starlink users.
Parking overnight is free in Oregon snow parks, but a permit is required Nov 1 to April 30.
Zero amenities, please help keep this area clean!
Great place to relax. It was hard to find a campground with water and this campground has water. Host is a great guy and very helpful. It was not closed
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.
Emigrant Lake may not be your destination if you are looking for a lot of privacy and quiet, but is a nice option to get out in nature while still being close to town. Oak Slope has some spots that can be fairly private, with nice tent camping amenities and easy access to the lakeside.
If you are looking for a free site (during the right time of year) this is a good option. Sites are pretty private with beautiful views of Shasta. Cell service is sketchy so be prepared.
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!
Campground directly situated on the banks of the Rogue River. Owner/host was very friendly and customer minded. Campground was almost full. Sites are guite close to each other. But a nice and guiet place to stay.
Campground near the lake, with full hook-ups. Disappointing , and for us a disadvantage, there was no cellphone reception and no internet acces possible Also no WiFi available.
White Creek has 4 Sites and the privacy isn't great but if you show up early on Thursday and pay 40 dollars a night you can usually get the whole place to yourself. White Creek has two beaches, one under a beach. It has a trail that takes you to a cave. Site 1 is real big with a couple tent spots, and a good hammock spot. Site 2 has a couple Tent spots. Site 3 has a couple tent spots. Site 4 has 1 tent spot.
Midweek in June and only one other site occupied? Really comfortable campground. Lovely loop trail around a beaver pond. Includes an actual spring with water from Mount McLaughlin. Dry camping only in 2024. No camp host when I was there. But clean with generous, well spaced sites. Probably fills on weekends.
The 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)
