    Overview

    Farewell Bend Campground was constructed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corp. The campground is located 18 miles west of Crater Lake National Park and in the midst of an old growth forest. There are 60 campsites that can accommodate trailers, rvs and tents. The Rogue River is located within the campground allowing for fishing and swimming. Union Creek Resort is within a mile from the campground and provides access to a convenience store, restaurant, ice cream shop and lodging.

    Recreation

    The entire length of the Upper Rogue River is closely followed by the Upper Rogue River Trail. The trail is hiker-only and easily traveled for short segments at a time. Hikers can also enjoy the Rogue Gorge Trail System that travels from Farewell Bend Campground through Union Creek Campground and down to Natural Bridge Day Use Area.

    Natural Features

    The Upper Rogue River is fed by snowmelt and springs originating on the peaks of the Cascade Range, including the slopes of Mt. Mazamathe volcanic caldera that contains Crater Lake. Along the uppermost portion of the Upper Rogue, the river is narrow and shallow, but very swift. The river has, for a two-mile stretch, carved more than 200 feet down into the Mazama pumice (which was deposited about 8,000 years ago during the explosion that created Crater Lake). Downstream, the Upper Rogue passes through the narrow, turbulent Rogue Gorge of black lava and soon plunges entirely underground (into a lava tube) for about 250 feet at Natural Bridge. Interpretive trails at both of these places provide good views of the river, with signs that explain the natural history.

    Beautiful area and great location, updates needed

    For us, Umpqua’s Last Resort was, well, a last resort! This was all about location for us. Close to the North Umpqua? Check. Camping Cabin? Check. Available? Check. Expensive? Nope. It worked, but there is nothing fancy about this place. It is fairly small, was definitely quiet, had lots of blackberries ready to pluck, and has a little store down the road where we were able to get what we needed. The cabin was fine, but the shower house had seen better days. Trails and creeks were accessible from the property and it is in the neighborhood for a great day rafting, fun swimmin’ holes and Crater Lake National Park. In 2015, cell reception was spotty.

    Diamond Lake

    Classic Family Campground With Stellar Views

    Diamond Lake, true to it's name, hugs the water with incredible, clear mountain views. There is a lovely lodge that's been part of the resort since it was founded almost a hundred years ago. There is a full service restaurant with breakfast lunch and dinner. Be sure to ask your server if the game meat burgers are in-- whether it's buffalo, boar, or elk depends on the season.

    There is also an adorable bar upstairs with fun vintage styling and aquarium. They offer a full selection of craft beer and liquor and a big fire place that they light up in the fall and winter. That's in addition to another small downstairs bar where you can get a different selection of beer and beverages, overlooking a lawn with Adirondack chairs. You can enjoy your drink or a snack while gazing at the lake and the snow-capped peaks in front of you.

    Kayak and other boat rentals are available, and the kids will love the bumper car boats near the dock. There is a well stocked general store. All of this is convenient to the cabins and motel-style rooms, which are quite popular. Tent and RV sites are available, too. There are also guided events for the whole family. Lots to do, plenty of creature comforts, and gorgeous views. Plus you are super close to Crater Lake and Umpqua Hotsprings.

    Camper access with great views

    Typical drive through RV campground. Sites located between main highway and lake edge. There is some distance between sites and each has a pretty good view of the water. Hiking / biking path around lake gives you access to a pizza parlor and Diamond Lake lodge with swimming and boat rentals. Great for bike riding.

    Diamond Lake

    Year round Camping in style

    If I had to choose my favorite time of year to camp at Diamond Lake I guess it would have to be Winter.

    For many years my family rented a cabin a year in advance and we stayed there from December 23- January 2 with a very large group of our friends.

    It was totally luxurious!

    You can also rent a hotel room there.

    Going down the inner tube slide was a blast, also hanging out in the lodge getting warmed by the fire.

    They also have a huge market on site - almost like a mini Department store. You can buy warm clothing and other supplies there.

    Fishing is kind of a big deal at Diamond also- which we did as a family.

    I remember riding a snow mobile to this Pizza Chalet and getting hot pizza in the middle of nowhere!!

    Such a cool place. Definitely going there this winter to play in the snow ❄️ ⛄️

    I better reserve now !!!!

    Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park

    Ranger review: Gregory Baltoro 65 Ruck sack at Mazama village campground

    Campground review

    Mazama village campground is located just inside the south entrance to Crater lake national park, about 5 or so miles from the rim.

    Mazama village is a very large campground with cabins, a motor lodge and 7 loops with about 30 sites per loop. Each loop has flushing toilets and running water in the gender specific restrooms, and water bibs as well. Each site has a bear box, fire pit, table, and some have RV power hookups. They don't seem to have dish water troughs though.

    What I found strange was the check-in process. I made reservations months in advance, but when I arrived; it wasn't a specific site I reserved, but a chance to choose a site. Sites are allocated by RV and tents; by size. There is only one loop, E that is specifically for smaller tents, so I was forced to choose from only 5 sites. I was able to luck out and find a decent site with shade and some privacy, as it was hot and dry and a lot of the sites did not offer much for privacy.

    Upon entering the campgrounds you find the Annie creek restaurant and gift shop, I had chili and cornbread for dinner and wasn't too impressed with it for the price. There is also a general store, fuel pump, laundry mat and pay showers. You can also make bookings for tours and other activities at the general store.

    Crater lake itself was amazing and there were tons of hikes and activites to take advantage of around the rim. It is a drive though, getting from the campground to points of interest on the rim, luckily the vistor center is the first thing you come across as you head up the west rim drive. There they also have a little gift shop and info on the national park.

    On my last night in the campground I was exhausting my options for hikes and had been trying to find the nearby Annie creek trail. I ended up walking through the campgrounds and found the trail head behind the amplitheter; that happens to hold church service on Sunday. The trail was pretty sweet, it is a 2 mi. loop and either direction you start it's quite a drop into the gorge to a creek oasis running through the middle. It was quite a treat to find as the sun was going down on my final night.

    All said, it was an okay campground not the best I've stayed in, but I made the most of it and had an amazing time visiting my own states national park; Crater lake.

    Product review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt I get the chance to test and review outdoor gear from time to time. This is my testing and review for the Baltoro 65 ruck sack from https://www.gregorypacks.com/

    https://www.gregorypacks.com/backpacking/premium/baltoro-65/916BAL65.html?dwvar_916BAL65_color=Onyx%20Black&cgidmaster=#q=baltoro+65&start=1

    Let me start by saying this pack is AWESOME! I have never been able to afford such a quality pack in the past and have always had an inexpensive pack. I am amazed at the difference in quality when it comes to a true backpacking pack made by a reputable company.

    I have always been a big guy and after hurting my knee many years ago, I never found the inspiration to start real backpacking. For the past 10 years I have been building my gear box and moving more toward lighter and more quality gear. With the help of TheDyrt and Gregory as well as other fine outdoor companies; I have finally rounded out my gear especially with this pack being the final touch. I now feel I have the confidence, gear, and with growing experince to tackle harder, longer and steeper treks.

    I received this pack just before my road trip to Crater lake. I tested it a few times before my departure and then many times while on the way to the park. I kept if full, around 40+ lbs. on all hikes, including 11 mi. on the Diamond view lake trail, Rosary lakes PCT section trail and the Howlock mtn. trail at Diamond lake. Then to top off the week; 5 mi. up Mt. Scott at Crater Lake. I was amazed at how good it felt and how well it handled the weight. It was real nice with all the adjustments that can be made, to make it fit me perfectly and make it actually comforable to carry.

    Other features I like include:The zipper front that allows you access to the main ruck sack compartment w/o having to open the top. This way you can get to items on the bottom of the pack without having to remove the others on top. Another feature is the removable water bladder holder that can be used as a daypack/hydration pack when you don't want to take your full pack on a small jaunt. I also like the water botlle holder that is stowable and has a shockcord(like the trekking pole holders) that helps keep the bottle from falling out.

    The quality of this pack is unreal, the ripstop holds up to branches, the zippers are strong with good loop pulls. All the materials used seem to be of high quality and were put together very well. I look forward to many adventures with this pack as I feel it will last me quite a while. It will help motivate me to go further and tackle harder, longer trails and stay out for more nights now that I can carry everything I need and with such ease.

    I highly recommend this pack to anyone and everyone, I don't know what else someone could ask for from a backpack. Great job Gregory!

    KOA Lemolo Lake / Crater Lake North

    Away from the crowds!

     A campground with full hookups, clean bathrooms& showers& access to a very nice lake. Off the beaten path-you're camping in the pines of South Central Oregon. Yes, it's dry& dusty, but it's summer& they're in a drought. We were in site 28, which is by the bathroom. Convenient for us, since we have no shower in our trailer. Laundry has 2 washers& 2 dryers, both worked while we were there. There's cabins for rent as well.

      The tent sites by the lake looked outstanding! If I was tent camping I'd totally want one. There's also some tent sites at the main campground facing the woods. This is an old fashioned campground. There's no jumping pillows. Swimming is done in the lake. The kids camping next to us entertained themselves. There's a boat ramp, fishing& a very small camp store.

     When they say you're "away from it all", that means stock up on supplies BEFORE you get to your campsite. There's restaurants at Crater Lake& I think Diamond Lake. 

    The worst thing I can say about this campground is that I hated the tokens. The girl who registered me told me the reason & I understand it. The tokens for the showers are free to registered campers & given out every day for the asking. This campground sits alongside a Forest Service campground within easy walking distance. No showers or laundry there. Maybe a business opportunity for the KOA? $5 for a shower for the unregistered & stinky? I wish there was a way though to insert the tokens INSIDE your shower so you don't have to trot back to your shower wrapped in a towel!

    My husband & I liked this campground very much. I would recommend it if visiting Crater Lake& the surrounding National Forests.

    Diamond Lake

    Incredible views, very peaceful

    All of the amenities you would expect from a popular campsite, but some really incredible views over Diamond Lake, toward Mt. Bailey.

    Nice spot! Near Crater Lake

    Nice 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.

    Great view on mountain and lake

    A very long stretched campground along the water of diamond lake. Nice view on the mountain. Some boats in the water. Swimming not recommended due to algue.

    Crater Lake Resort

    Wonderful Retreat

    Stayed in the primative cabin for an evening with the spouse and our dog. The little store was great for last minute supplies and gifts, the resort offered free canoe rentals, but we had brought our own kayaks and used them in the slow moving creek. The beds in the cabin were wood, so we should have brought more pillows, but overall we loved the spot and the amenities! We would stay again and recommend it to everyone!

    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.

    Diamond Lake

    Great spot!!

    I liked diamond lake because it was close to crater lake. We saw the stars at night, the Milky Way was amazing!! The next day we saw it during the day and it was also really cool seeing the blue water. Diamond lake was nice cause there is a big lake that you can go boating and fishing on; they have a really nice place to cut up ur fish. They also had a great please to swim and eat, and down the road there was a pizza place called south side pizza. All and all it was a very nice set up and a very nice place to stay with showers and bathrooms.

    We stayed in loop H. I would stay in loop A or B because you are right next to the lake and the boat ramp. The site does fill up fast, so I would reserve a site.

    Diamond Lake Campground

    Great location for seeing Crater Lake, campsite was right next to the water on Diamond Lake which, was beautiful. General store is just up the road for any provisions that are needed. Lots of activities on the lake, fishing, kayaking, canoeing. Amenities were clean and well taken care of. Would definitely go back!

    Diamond Lake

    Wonderful!!!

    I spent 5 days tent camping here in a trailer spot. It was never crowded and extremely enjoyable. They do have a lodge and a place you can rent boats. If you pick a fight right along the water you very likely to see Eagles and other Wildlife early in the morning. I highly recommend Diamond Lake!

    Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park

    Not my favorite

    The grounds are beautiful and well kept, and of course... CRATER LAKE. But you're nowhere near the lake and it's a hike/drive to do ANYTHING. I'd recommend the lodge if your heart is set on staying at Crater Lake, or any of the campgrounds at nearby Diamond Lake.

    On the plus side, it is very quiet and peaceful.

    Perfect to visit Crater Lake NP

    Beautiful views over Diamond lake. No leveled tent spots. Nice amount of trees to create shade and some privacy between campsites. Non native tree variety caused me terrible allergies. Hot shower access was a great connivance. They do ask for extra donations for shower use. Employee at entrance booth was extremely unhelpful. Campsite was conveniently close to the north entrance of Cater Lake NP.

    Diamond Lake

    Gorgeous Settins. BIG busy campground

    Stayed here in late June and found reservations for a week night only a few days before.  This campground is HUGE.  Water-front sites are hard to get and have amazing views but even second-row sites have views because they are built high above. Site K-15 was on the second row but still had great views for example. Some peak-a-boo views of Diamond Lake and Mount Bayley from many sites.

    Beautiful campground on Diamond Lake

    We were very happy with our campsite at Diamond Lake. We had paid a little extra for a lakefront site, and we were so glad we did. I highly recommend lakefront as each of them has a private beach for direct lake access. We had trees on our site, plenty of places for hammocks, and much more space than we needed. I definitely want to go back soon. It's close enough to Crater Lake to day trip easily.

    Diamond Lake

    Great place but crowded.

    Diamond Lake had such great amenities and had all the basics which was very nice. Hot showers, nice bathrooms, picinic tables, fire rings, trash, and boat launch/dock. BUT. The sites were so close together, and there was basically no privacy. I know that isn’t a problem for everyone, but I have done too much dispersed camping to enjoy a packed campground. Great place for families and close to Crater Lake which is why we stayed!

    Diamond Lake

    Great Location

    Loved this campground close to Crater Lake. Good spot for biking around as the campground is long and narrow - I read that the trail goes all the way around the lake, although we didn’t get that far.

    Our campsite was pretty close to Diamond Lake Loop Rd and the road noise was not great. Traffic seemed to pick up at around 5:30 with water/garbage trucks noisily passing by. I would try to get a site closer to the lake if possible.

    Camping near Crater Lake

    You can book this campground ahead of time with recreation.gov. I wanted to book at Crater Lake, but because the national park only has 2 campgrounds inside the park, I ended up booking at Diamond Lake, which was only 20 minutes away!

    Loved our campsite. We booked site H021, which was close to restrooms, a water spiget, and a short walk to the water. The amenities were clean! The only problem we had were bees at our site when cooking, but besides that I'd come back!

    Great choice!

    This campground was in a great location to go see crater lake (15 min drive or less) as well as nearby Hot Springs (30ish min drive) and waterfalls. The campground itself was wooded and very close to diamond lake, it was a very beautiful location. There were lots of close by walking trails which was wonderful.

    The amenities were nice enough, sometimes the showers are hot and others times was not. Most of the laundry machines were working with several out of service, and worked well enough.

    The staff was helpful and gave suggestions for nearby hiking and Hot Springs. Sites included fire ring, a picnic table, and full hook ups. The stars at night were incredible.

    This place rocks

    I was on a solo road trip this last week and was searching for campsites near Crater Lake and I stumbled upon Diamond Lake. I really like how they have two loops dedicated to first come first serve, thats pretty cool. I got a spot right along the water, bugs weren't bad, and the sunset was amazing that night. The camp staff are super inviting and are pretty awesome! I had an amazing night at the campsite.

    The surrounding area is great for recreation, bring your bike and cycle the loop that goes around the entire lake. You get mountain views the entire time. There are loads of hiking, ask the camp staff for trail maps. There is apparently great fishing but I didn't have fishing license.

    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

    Perfect weekend trip!

    Our group got in pretty late at night, but luckily there were plenty of signs to get us to our reserved site just fine. It was our first time there so we were delighted to wake up in the morning to see how close we were to the water! Our site was next to one of the many bathrooms around the campgrounds but wasn’t smelly or annoying, quite opposite actually when venturing out in the middle of the night! We busted out the floaties in the late afternoon since the water felt pretty nice, but the wind and choppy waters cut our float short. Access to free showers (donations welcome!) was great afterwards and the warm water felt sooo luxurious. All-in-all, we enjoyed our scenic site and the lively energy of all the campers –and camp pups!!!– at Diamond Lake.

    Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park

    Good camping option if you want to stay in Crater Lake National Park

    This is a good campground, with flush toilets, showers, and a pretty comprehensive store and basic restaurant.  The site sizes and configurations vary quite a bit.  Ours was extremely tight for our teardrop…with the trailer attached couldn't even back in far enough to keep from blocking traffic with the tow vehicle.  Our campsite was very dusty, dirt got into pretty much everything by our 3rd day (the showers were also full of dirt).  Crater Lake lodge and the rim drive are a few miles up the mountain.  While there isn't really much to do on the lake itself, there are tons of great lookouts and beautiful hikes.  Next time we'd probably stay at Diamond Lake or one of the other lakes in the area where you can actually boat and swim and take a day trip to Crater.
