Near Crater Lake National Park, visitors seeking upscale outdoor accommodations can find unique glamping options at Crater Lake Resort, which includes yurts alongside traditional cabins. Located in Fort Klamath, this established site boasts amenities including drinking water, electric hookups, firewood availability, and modern comforts like hot showers. Rocky Point Resort, about 30 minutes from the park's south entrance, houses safari-style glamping tents with proper beds, electricity, and elevated platforms offering scenic lake views. Both locations provide the perfect balance of wilderness immersion with creature comforts not found in standard campgrounds. One guest highlighted, "The amenities were clean and well maintained with hot showers that had amazing water pressure."
Diamond Lake serves as an ideal glamping base for Crater Lake exploration, situated just 20 minutes from the national park. The surrounding area features picturesque mountain views and abundant recreational opportunities, from boating and fishing on Diamond Lake to hiking the trails of Mount Thielsen and Mount Bailey. Several reviewers noted the spectacular stargazing opportunities, with one visitor noting, "We saw the stars at night, the Milky Way was amazing!" Most eco-friendly glamping sites in the region offer year-round availability, though many close during winter months with Diamond Lake operating from mid-May through October. Visitors should reserve accommodations well in advance, particularly during summer months when the national park experiences peak visitation. Many glamping locations offer convenient access to Umpqua Hot Springs and the 11-mile scenic loop trail around Diamond Lake.

LegendGorgeous place to camp near Crater lake. Bathrooms were pretty clean. We stayed over 4th of July, and it definitely got cool at night. The whole area was loud insanity for the holiday. Especially near the lodge further down the lake, it was covered with people partying in trucks.
LegendNice campground near Diamond Lake. There is a resort, swimming, bike path, fishing. It’s not too far from Crater Lake, and awesome waterfalls down highway 138.
TravelerThe campsite was great, the views of the lake were stunning, minutes from crater lake NP. Be prepared to fend off mosquitoes if you're going in the summer! The showers and bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
LegendThis 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.
LegendCollier State Park is a typically nice Oregon State park, with the benefit that there's often spaces open only a few days out that you can book online and just 30 miles from Crater Lake. There's enough to keep kids busy for a day or so, including the free logging museum across the road. Clean bathrooms and showers and tons of rangers/employees getting sites ready, picking up litter etc. Prices were great, just $19 for tent sites and $29 for a full RV hook-up, including a few pull-through spots, plus flush toilets and showers. On our recent road trip in a 32-foot RV, this was probably the best deal of anywhere we went. For a state park, though, spots were right on top of each other, with very little in terms of privacy.

* 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)

* 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.
ScoutWe loved the Glamping tents, new and beautifully appointed, the facilities were well kept and sparkling clean. The bathrooms were clean and newly updated. We will be back.
GuideWe were leaving crater lake and needed a place to camp. usually we hate going to rv parks because they are loud and, no offense to anyone, ritzy. we like the rugged road camping in the woods. but this was the exception. we got a tent site, which are cheaper, and the area we were in was for tents only. therefor we were one of two people there. the bathrooms were within walking distance and we had a view of the lake. it felt very safe because there was a trooper shack and we saw them every hour of the day making sure everything was okay. we then found an awesome walking path beneath ground level and against the water. it was truly amazing.
TravelerGreat lakeside camping experience. Even though we arrived late (around 10 PM), the staff still took care of us. We asked for firewood, and they left it in front of the store for us to pick up and pay for in the morning. They even left extra wood just in case we needed more, which was a very thoughtful touch. The campground map was a little confusing in the dark, but luckily someone lives on-site full time and helped us find our campsite. The campsites weren’t especially private, but there was still a reasonable amount of space between sites, so it didn’t feel cramped. The toilets and showers were clean, although the facilities are a bit older. Showers are coin-operated, which is good to know in advance. Waking up by the lakeside in the morning was beautiful, definitely the highlight of the stay. The only downside I noticed was that the fire pit didn’t include a grill. Overall, we left with a very positive impression and would stay again if we’re in the area.
Diamond Lake Campground provides a convenient base for exploring Crater Lake National Park, located just 20 minutes away. The campground sits at 5,180 feet elevation in the Umpqua National Forest and remains open from mid-May through October 1. Visitors can expect cooler temperatures at night even during summer months due to the high elevation.
Swimming and water activities: Diamond Lake offers a refreshing alternative to viewing the deep blue waters of Crater Lake. "This campground has beautiful lake views, access to bathrooms and showers, and ice cream and firewood just a walk or bike ride away! The only complaint I have is there's a lot of mosquitoes," notes Macy G. from Diamond Lake Campground.
Explore waterfalls: The Umpqua National Forest surrounding the Crater Lake region features numerous waterfall hikes. "We would definitely consider returning during better weather. The staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather," shares Lee D. from Umpqua's Last Resort.
Visit historic sites: Several campgrounds near Crater Lake feature historic attractions. At Collier Memorial State Park, "down the easy 1-mile trail along the spring creek, they have a super cool old pioneer village and lumber museum. It's full of olde tyme cabins and era timber industry tools and equipment," explains Tj B.
Proximity to national park: Many visitors choose campgrounds based on convenient access to Crater Lake. "Stayed here while visiting Crater Lake NP. Very nice and quiet! Easy to find and very nice staff," reports Tyler S. from Diamond Lake Campground.
Night sky viewing: The high elevation and limited light pollution create exceptional stargazing conditions. "At night you can see so many stars and meteors. Excellent for watching meteor showers," writes Autumn O. about Lost Creek Campground.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the peaceful settings. "We loved this campsite. There were fire pits available for use at the sites. We were able to see soooo many stars in the sky!!" shares Fiona W. about her stay at Collier Memorial State Park.
Seasonal limitations: "Lost Creek Campground is closed to the public and has been for a couple years. Only fire crews working in the park are allowed to stay here," warns Beth A., highlighting the importance of checking current campground status.
Mosquito activity: Several campgrounds report significant mosquito populations during summer months. "The campsite was great, the views of the lake were stunning, minutes from Crater Lake NP. Be prepared to fend off mosquitoes if you're going in the summer!" advises Candice B.
Reservation requirements: Joseph H. Stewart County Park fills quickly during peak season. "First time camping here. We did a mix of RV and tent at one site. Half the sites were closed for the season which made for a quiet stay," notes Jennifer E., suggesting visiting during shoulder seasons for better availability.
Playground access: "I'm a little bias... at this park you can find tons of hiking trails, wide open spaces, very friendly staff, bathrooms, showers, electric/water hook ups as well as playgrounds for kids," writes Marcus V. about Joseph H. Stewart County Park.
Educational opportunities: Families can combine camping with learning experiences. "The logging museum is huge and worth a visit. River is clear and beautiful. Sites are clean and nice. Tent and RV sites available. Beware of the Chipmunks! They are everywhere," warns Melynda L. about Collier Memorial State Park.
Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "I used it to cut sticks to size with the saw, and widdle/sharpen sticks with the standard blade. It keeps an edge nicely. I didn't get a chance to use the wire cutters, but it has hard and soft wire cutters and they are replaceable," shares a camper about their outdoor tools at Collier Memorial State Park.
Site selection considerations: At Rocky Point Resort, "I booked a pull through spot online, when I arrived the owner walked around with me recommending available spots with a better view. We stayed at a nice full hook up site with a great view of the lake," reports Matt D.
Hookup availability: "We are at site 23 for a smaller travel trailer right on the water, with a partial hookup at this site. It's a beautiful quiet space where the birds wake you; you can make your coffee and walk out on the dock to watch the sunrise," notes Laural O. about Rocky Point Resort.
Advance planning required: RV campers should be aware of size limitations at some campgrounds. "Huge campsite but it doesn't feel that way when you are at your site. The sites by the lake appeared to be much larger than the ones further up the hill," explains Kyahn D. about their experience at Diamond Lake.
