    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.

    Diamond Lake

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    Diamond Lake

    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!

    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.
