ScoutStayed in the 25$ a night parking spot outlets in front of some of the spots and bathrooms with a dishwashing sink right next to it. They also had fresh drinking water and good service. Kinda busy for a Wednesday night but the hot spring was very nice and everyone was quiet and respectful
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.
GuideGood reception. I was completely alone here. Spent the night. If you drive off the gravel be prepared for a lot of dust in the drier months.
GuideThis was of course a stop we made during our visit to crater Lake national Park. Incredibly convenient, we went up to the park and back down in the evening to camp and then returned to the park the next day. I saw a few small cars driving down to this campsite, but it was a little bit of a steep decline to get to the site. I could see how it would be trouble if it was heavy rain or snow if you did not have a 4 x 4.
We’ve come in the off-season so crater Lakes Road was mostly closed and this site. The trail extension was closed at the bridge. But there are several, maybe a dozen spots to camp at the start. We checked across the road and there are other places to stay that are not as beautiful as being by the creek. We came in May, so we were mostly by ourselves. It was perfectly quaint and picturesque.
I personally did not get good cell service here, but we did get our Starlink working even in the trees. I can see how in season, I imagine in the summer, a lot of people probably come to this area. We had probably 5 people drive-through and couple camp in the area even while we were here, but it’s peaceful, and it was not a bother.
GuideHwy 139 was a beautiful drive to the nicely paved Lava Bed Monument Rd. 30' flat towing a Jeep was no problem all the way to the campsite. Not a soul around. Gas management is key out here!
ScoutHad no problems, showers are nice & 24/7, laundry nice...
ScoutThis is a flat-ish area, right on the lake. The road is very close, depending on where you set up, but is very low traffic. Very quiet at night.
Not paved. Can be muddy. A little bumpy. Made it just fine in my 03 astro and a 20 ft trailer.
There are not marked sites. I was the only one here that I saw. Found some shotgun shells, probably from duck/goose/ season (idk man I'm not a hunter.)
GuideNice space with Solar sky exposure. Maybe 1 of 2 sites. We had Snow forcasted-and saw some coming down. Pulled out next afternoon. Great walking around around campground.
LegendEnjoy our stay. RV area access from G Street near the back of the property. Sites are grass- not necessarily level or flat. Very informal and unattended. Enjoyed walking the deserted fairgrounds facilities. Self-registration. Not highly maintained but you have your pick of sites kinda funky/fun!
Camping sites near Klamath Falls, Oregon offer diverse terrain from lakeside spots to forested retreats at elevations ranging from 4,100 to 4,500 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach 80-90°F during the day but drop to 40-50°F at night, creating significant temperature swings that require proper gear. The region's volcanic soil affects drainage during rain, which can create muddy conditions at some campsites.

Site selection: At Waterwheel RV Park, positioning matters. "Sites 1-11 have Williamson River front views. The full hookup sites are in the center and have no privacy between them. In my opinion, Site 11 is the best site as it is a corner site with the most privacy," advises Lee D.
Slope considerations: Some sites require leveling equipment. At Rocky Point Resort, "some sites, including ours had a fair bit of slope front to back," reports Ray & Terri F.
