      Umpqua National Forest, Oregon

      This campground offers excellent scenery. Although Steamboat Creek is closed to all fishing, summer visitors often see large steelhead trout attempting to jump the falls during their spawning runs. The campground is on the other side of Steamboat Creek from Steamboat Road. Towering fir trees shade the campsites, making it feel as if you are further away from the North Umpqua Highway. The trailhead for the 5.5-mile Mott segment of the North Umpqua Trail is about 6 miles southwest of the campground. Facilities 7 campsites with picnic tables and fire pits 3 tent campsites with picnic tables and fire pits No drinking water Horseshoe pits Baseball fields Vault toilet Garbage disposal

      Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park

      Closest campground to Crater Lake National Park

      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.

      Union Creek Campground - Rogue River - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

      Semi-private sites close to Crater Lake

      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.

      Walt Haring Sno-Park & Campground

      Great spot for a quick overnight in the summer

      nearly had the entire place to myself minus a couple travel trailers, but there’s enough room to spread out to where no one even notices each other. Plenty of trail to hike in the summer and great place for dogs to walk. Very quiet and hard to realize you’re so close to the main highway. Dump station is present on site. Definitely will stay here again.

      Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park

      Poor management/mediocre cabin

      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.

      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.

      Good creater lake location

      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.

      Great Views

      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 .

      Our favorite within a 50 mile radius!

      We constantly sleuth campgrounds and map sites that will fit our 30 footer. We scoped out over two dozen CGs. We love the spacing of the sites. All are full hookups. We loved their showers and restroom facilities. Amazing water pressure! Nice shade, too.

      Wow!

      Really awesome facility. Every site is big-rig friendly and almost perfectly level. Minimum work getting setup. The river is just feet away. Dog friendly. We especially liked the trains that occasionally tooted and roared down the opposite side on the river canyon.

      Skookum Creek Campground

      Spooky!

      So, we followed a young family in a Jeep Cherokee pulling an audacious 12 foot camping trailer, circa 1972. Yes,it was52 years old. When we all arrived at the end of the 3 mile dirt road I was immediately attacked by mosquitoes. They were not after anyone else, so I was doing some good keeping the little monsters off of the others. We told the family that “skookum “ was the Indian name for Bigfoot, and that this was prime country for a sighting.
      There was a marvelous little wooden bridge there. A hiking trail heading deep into the bush. Mostly set up for tent camping. A vault toilet. A big flat graveled parking area where perhaps a dozen RVs could set up.

      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!

      Off the beaten path

      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.

      Peaceful Camping Near Crater Lake National Park

      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.

      Excellent for an overnight

      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!

      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!

      White Creek Campground is great for family trips.

      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.
