Several campgrounds provide swimming pools during summer months, which proves popular with families.

"Great RV sites that are close to the River with FHU’s. Hiking paths border the river and connect the many camping loops. Stayed in loop B which has back-in’s and drive throughs."
"Do Not let the close proximity to I-5 keep you from staying here. We are on B loop and while outside the traffic noise is audible, it gets lost in the wind through the trees."

GuideFire ring hasn’t been cleaned out for months. Camp sites are stacked on top of each other. You have to pay for showers.
Only positive was front desk hours stay open later than most camp sites I’ve come across.
GuideGreat place for a state campground, very peaceful and clean. Showers and restrooms are 24/7 and clean. Right on the river with walking trails.. they offer full hook up, plus have a free dump station.
GuideThis campsite was very clean with good amenities. Showers and bathrooms were well maintained and sites have picnic tables and a fire pit. Site spacing was a bit dense, but they're staggered on the hill so everyone gets good views. It was very quiet when we were there on a Thursday. Easy grey water and trash disposal. Most of the water faucets are non-threaded
GuideStopped in at this rest stop and found it to be completely full with many vehicles parked illegally to fit in. We had to keep moving on since we couldn't find a spot. It was very busy while we were there and many semis cycled their engines on making for a noisy parking lot. Convenient place to use the restroom and sleep for a night though if there are spots.
RangerNeeded a spot to sleep after leaving Crater Lake. It is a pretty steep gravel drive in but saw a variety of cars up there over our time there. There was somebody by the pond and we pulled in late so as not to disturb them we elected for the pullout before you enter the loop.
Had a couple locals pull in the next morning to fish the pond.
TravelerNice quiet spot next to the river. No hookups and it is an open area where you can park and camp where ever you like, there are no designated spots, but you can see where others have camped before and made fire pits.
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
ScoutCampground is clea, well maintained a bit spends fee but great for retirees and families. Near a beautiful casino and nice truck stop .
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.
