  Crater Lake Resort

  Lots of Road Noise

  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.

  LaPine State Park Campground

  Typical State Campground

  Stayed in one of the cabins, it was clean and made a nice getaway for a couple days.

  Bathrooms are a long walk in the middle of the night so I should have chosen a cabin with a bathroom, my mistake. 

  Campground sites are tightly packed and lack privacy. If you like to take nice long walks there are hiking paths as well as the paved roads in the campground.

  Millsite Forest Dispersed Camping

  Easy off the main road stop

  Quiet camping area off 138. You come up to what looks like a county shop, but keep going to the left, and you're here. A handful of sites. We were easily able to park out jeep a ways in.

  Cascade Meadows RV Resort

  Discriminatory

  They don't allow vans but they will allow teardrops.

  Hypocritical

  Van campers are good campers too.

  Millsite Forest Dispersed Camping

  Open, empty, very quiet

  This was a lovely place to camp for the night. There were probably 10-15 campsites, and I was the only one there when I showed up. Campsites have picnic tables and fire pits and there is a pit toilet. Many trees which provide shade. Some mosquitos but not too bad. Very easy to find with the directions and it was also on GAIA GPS.

  Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver

  Between the trees

  Large campsite with a lot of sites in a wooded area. For me the campground was a kind of a maze, lots of different areas and lots of curves and no clear directions. It was quiet though. Hook-ups for electricity and water. Dumpstations separate, somewhere on the campsite.

  Thielson Forest Camp

  Not bad

  Correct coordinates: 43.2558019, -122.1650183

  Small forest camp right off the hwy, next to a creek and is shaded. There are at least 4 campsites, each with a fire pit/ stove, picnic table and room for a small RV (less than 25 ft). There is wifi, and a toilet near the entrance. No trash services. Pack it out.

  Umpqua's Last Resort & Oregon Mountain Guides

  An adventure and accommodation for everyone!

  General: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•

  * petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)

  * deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)

  * Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)

  * glamping tents (7)

  * cabins with heat and A/C(4)

  * a cottage

  * a tiny home

  * camper

  * retro bunkhouse

  * retro RV 

  Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy. 

  Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice). 

  Activities/Amenities:

  * Guided and Self-guided hiking tours

  * Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours

  * a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)

  * whitewater rafting tours

  * Stream and river fishing holes

  * Fly fishing and hunting

  * Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)

  * Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best

  * There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds. 

  We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.

  Diamond Lake

  Large Campground on a beautiful lake

  This is a large Forest Service campground stretching along the shores of Diamond Lake. It is difficult to do a full review of this campground as we were there at the end of the season when it was cold, windy, and rainy. There was no staff on-site, and it was only the next morning that I saw an occupied host site way at the other end of the southern part of the campground. The north end of the campground had already closed for the season, and I believe the south end closes at the end of October. Reservations are only available June through Labor Day, but we pretty much had our pick of sites on a weekday in mid-October. 

  The road and camper pads are paved, and a good amount of foliage between sites provides privacy. 

  As far as activities, there is a paved bike path that winds through the campground. In season, there is boating (there is a boat ramp in each end of the campground), and there is a fishing dock too. 

  In each end of the campground, there is one “nice” bathhouse that is clean, heated, well-lit, and has showers. Depending on where your site is, it may be quite a walk to get to these bathrooms. Note that showers are free but there is a donation box. I wouldn't be surprised that at some point in the future, they will require payment. Sprinkled throughout the rest of the campground are very basic bathrooms with one sink, two stalls, cold water only, no soap. It had last been cleaned three days before we were there and there was no toilet paper in the men’s bathroom closest to our site.

  There is also a dump station with a donation box.

  Rates are reasonable, especially if you have the senior Golden Access Pass, however, there was a note that each transaction also incurred a $3 transaction fee. Didn’t know if that was if you reserved online, used a credit card, or no matter. We included it in the envelope for a total of $14.

  Diamond Lake

  One of our favorites

  This is a highly recommended campground. Great spots right on the lake and it's a huge campground with tons of spots in general. Cellphone service is hit or miss depending on where you are. We found a level spot, not all spots are level. They have trash and a dump/water station.

  Showers are available via a donation..campsite rates are very reasonable for amenities and location.

  10 miles from Crater Lake, 1 mile from the lodge with a little store and restaurant. Restaurant was pretty darn good for the middle of nowhere. 100 years old.

  Sunset Cove Campground

  One of our favorite places.

  Quiet and beautiful views across the lake. You can kayak, fish, sail, and swim. The Lodge has seasonal entertainment along with good food and atmosphere. If you don't have a RV and don't want to sleep on the ground they also have cabins to rent.

  Thielson Forest Camp

  Site no longer exists

  Site has been logged & is inaccessible/ gone. There are some spots to park a car/ pitch a tent across from where this used to be along 4790. I ended up pitching a tent in a nice grassy field along 100 with the best cell service I’ve ever had — that spot gets a 5/5!

  Diamond Lake

  Not too bad

  Stayed at diamond lake for 3 days. The specific site didn’t have any reviews or pics, but took a chance on it. Our site didn’t have any shade so it was a little rough. And it was a little dirty throughly the entire campground. You could tell it’s highly used, sad that people don’t take a little more pride and leave it a little cleaner then they found it.

  We have Verizon and had 1-2 bars LTE. Couldn’t make or receive calls and really couldn’t text or email.

  The bathrooms were fairly clean given you are in the middle of nowhere. They showers were available, but we didn’t use them.

  The camp hosts were awesome! They gave our free firewood and had free WiFi you could use.

  Diamond Lake

  Badly Degraded Campground

  I camped at diamond lake for the first time in about 15 years and can’t believe how rundown it has become. Most toilets in bathroom are broken. Our nearby water spigot not functioning. And lots of litter in camp site. Beautiful lake though.

  Sunset Cove Campground

  Excellent staffing and great setting

  We were so lucky to get a last minute spot. The bearded man with a that checked us was full of helpful information. We wanted to stay an extra night, but the camp ground was full. Amy at the front station was such a blessing to help us get another night. She went above and beyond in service. We live in Ca and very rarely see this kind of service. I was told by a friend, you will love the Oregon parks. He was so right.

  Diamond Lake

  Very large lakeside campground

  This is a very large campground with over 200 sites.  I stayed overnight, July 3, 2023.  I was a walk in .  The ranger office was closed when I arrived and they did not have a list of available sites posted.  I found a site, K11, without any reserved tag and spent a wonderful night.  There was a very strong onshore breeze from the lake that kept the mosquitoes grounded and I didn't really need repellant.

  The campground is two halves.  In the upper half, the campsites are higher, above the lake.  To the south or east, the sites are closer to the lake.  Water was only available (non threaded faucets) outside the flush latrines, which were not very well kept (mostly due to the dead bugs).  There is not electricity and I was only able to get 2 bars on Verizon.  I could get a text through, but rarely a photo.

  I have camped throughout Oregon and what impressed me as different were the large number of tent campers.  More than half were tent camping, though the site would fit small to medium size rigs.  I only saw one Class A and few trailers.  Noisy neighbors can be a problem, as the sites though not exactly next to each other, are still close.  The roads and parking for sites are paved, but some have very steep driveways.  Be careful in your site selection if you have a long trailer or RV.

  There are some nearby stores and gas station if you need, but very little else.  A very beautiful spot with lots to do and see nearby.

  Abbott Creek Campground

  Widely separated site

  I visited this campground on July 3, 2023.  The gate was locked and a notice that it was closed.  However, I walked through the site to gather information for any possible future visit.

  It was one of the most beautiful campgrounds of the five I visited between Prospect and Union Gap.  Idyllic widely separated sites with lots of trees and beautiful grasses.  The last of the 25 sites were actually in a meadow.

  There was no water available that I could see.  The stream was a short distance and I suppose if you had water treatment you could get water there.  They did have grey water disposal sites.  I saw a pit  and vault latrine.  They were locked, but looked recently painted.  There were also a couple big, green, plastic dump bins.  I did not see any mosquitoes.

  There is no electricity and I did not get any cell signal using Verizon.  The sites were flat and some pretty large for longer trailers.  It was all gravel.  

  It was a little confusing to get there.  The sign on Highway 62 pointed down a road.  After crossing a bridge, I hit a T intersection, but there was not sign.  Turn right and you will cross another bridge and then see the campground entrance.

  One should call ahead to the Forest Service office in Prospect to see if it becomes open for use.

  Summit Lake Campground

  Heaven on earth - could do without the mosquitos

  My husband, daughter, and I camped at Summit Lake over the weekend 7/1/2023 - 7/2/2023.  This is one of my all time favorite locations. We drove in from I-5 through Oakridge Highway 58 to FS Road 21 to FS Road 2154 to FS Road 398.  Total distance once you get off Highway 58 and onto FS Road 21 is approximately 40 miles.  If you are here during the week, it is highly likely to have the entire lake to yourself.  We don't usually camp in the campground, rather, we camp in one of the primitive sites along the west shore of the lake.  Our site was right on the lake, had a nice rock fire pit, and offered breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding buttes.  The only complaint we had was the mosquitos.  We used an entire bottle of bug spray and I still walked away with dozens of welts.  We built a fire that seemed to push the mosquitos out but drew in the noseeums.  Very peaceful location, breathtaking views, and great kayaking and SUP.

  Beautiful scenery, spacious sites.

  The scenery is stunning and the sites are large and roomy. The water access doesn’t have much of a beach to speak of, but it is a great lake to paddle.

  Island

  Beautiful but beware the poison oak

  $10/night.

  We drove in and heard the sound of screaming rafters. The location is gorgeous right next to the water. There is a bit of higheay noise but it is mostly drowned out by the river.

  Two pit toilets, the male toilet is missing the lid. There is garbage service.

  Each of the sites had a fire ring and a picnic table.

  The paths down to the water have some poison oak growing by them so be careful. We did not have cell service so download offline maps before you get here.

  Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver

  This campground is fantastic - but no sewer

  The only reason I did not give this park 5 stars is the lack of sewer. But everything else in the property was top notch. The sites are very large, the power is good, albeit slightly low voltage (117v). Water quality and pressure is good and we had 30m dl speeds on both att and Verizon.

  The sites are heavily treed (pines) with exceptional spacing between. The had a tree service on site taking out the dead trees and obtrusive branches while we were there. Very well kept.

  The bath houses are all clean, and at least one we surveyed appears to be freshly updated. There is a large hall, a well stocked store with beer and firewood and all the necessities .

  They have 6 brand new pickleball courts as well as all the other normal amenities. The pools (2) we not open when we arrived but look to be at least adequate.

  We stayed here in a motorhome and found it to be scenic, close to many attractions and shopping, and as very pleasant stay. We would absolutely come here again.
