"There is no water so you need to bring your own. The Fridge and stove worked really well, we did have issues trying to get the lights to work. But we had lanterns so it was not a problem. "
"Vault toilets regularly serviced, no other amenities.
Water is slow but deep, great for kids of all ages. Beach is rocky, not sandy."
"Very close to the river. Bring extra toilet paper for the pit toilet."
"Restroom with sink, the lake you can walk around, clean sites with lots of room and shade. Not reservable."
"The marked camping spaces are huge with a lot of space between you and the next closest site. Amazing views across the water. We only stayed for a bit but plan on going back for an extension stay!"
"Needed a spot for a night before going to Crater Lake. Had to drive a while before finding a spot. Once we found a spot, there was some traffic but otherwise it was very quiet and peaceful."
"We camped near the road but nobody came through the whole night we stayed. An owl swooped right through our camp site and scared the crap out of us. Easy route in and out."
"White Creek has 4 Sites and the privacy isn't great but if you show up early on Thursday and pay 40 dollars a night you can usually get the whole place to yourself. "

"Each spot had a picnic table and fire pit, with a good amount of flat space for a tent or vehicle. Easy to get to on a dirt road, and very close to crater lake if that is your final destination!"
"It was closed, a locked gate at the time, although I did see some tents in the back sites, probably from work crews nearby.
This is a very small campground well away from Highway 62. "
"On the map this doesn’t look particularly well placed, but it’s actually an easy shot to Crater Lake or to other activities in the Rogue River valley and the Central Cascades."
ScoutThis campground is an excellent choice for an overnight stay when visiting Crater Lake National Park. The sites offer flat ground, making it easy to set up a tent. Although it is close to the road, it is secluded enough to provide a peaceful night's sleep. Be aware that during our visit, we encountered many hungry and persistent mosquitoes, so I highly recommend bringing insect repellent and other mosquito-prevention measures.
The tent sites can be found by following an unpaved road downhill from the large parking lot. There are two basic restrooms located at the entrance, but there is no potable water available, so be sure to bring your own. If you don't use the entry restrooms, please practice Leave No Trace principles to keep the area clean and natural. The proximity to Crater Lake allows for convenient early morning starts to explore the park. Overall, it's a great spot for both solo travelers and families looking for a comfortable camping experience.
LegendWe spent a full day exploring Crater Lake and needed a place to stay for the night. Since the campgrounds within the national park were closed for the season, we searched The Dyrt for a nearby place to set up camp before dark, and found nearby Annie Creek Sno-Park. It's a big parking lot with a vault toilet, a warming station with indoor picnic benches and a few fire rings outside. There are also a few spots down by the creek, which might be fine for tent camping, but not suitable for larger vehicles. There were several other campers when we stayed in early October, and we enjoyed watching shooting stars and roasting marshmallows together around a campfire. Convenient location and perfectly fine for a night.
LegendGeneral: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•
* 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)
* Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)
* glamping tents (7)
* cabins with heat and A/C(4)
* 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.
GuideNice flat sites would be good for small rigs, you can put your tent behind or next to the rv spot/table because the tent stakes aren’t gonna go in on the main part of the pad where everyone has been putting their campers (found out the hard way, lots of rocks and roots lol). Picnic table, fire ring, pit toilet with tissue. No running water. Was $25 a night for a tent spot in July which is pretty high for this area considering no water. Close to freeway but was quiet.
GuideThe three campsites are under the cover of fir, cedar and maple trees. All are decently sized and spaced, just off the road enough to feel private, as claim miners and passers by stop to use the vaulted toiled that is located across the road from the campsite parking.
Provided you have a decent, four-wheel-drive rig, or are willing to make the hike, the bohemia mines, as well as several mine shafts carved out along the roadway are accessible to view.
The first site is smaller (1-2 tents) and the most private. It has a well placed fire ring with grill, and wood picnic table, but lacks a direct path to the creek.
The middle spot is the largest (3+ tents), fire ring with grill, picnic table and great access to the creek.
The third spot is also well sized and has the same table/fire ring setup, and a couple trails that lead to the creek.
The area is in recovery from the 2024 fire that consumer over 1200 acres. Though that fire was started by natural causes, it is a strong reminder to pay attention to fire bans and area regulations as well as properly, tending campfires, and making sure they are extinguished.
LegendThis campground is in the Park near Crater Lake. It's forested which offers good shade and privacy. There are picnic tables, bear boxes and trash cans. Good access to hiking and to Crater Lake viewing and activities.
TravelerThis is a great place. The cabin is vintage and takes you back in time. It was clean and comfortable. The out house was very clean. There is no water so you need to bring your own. The Fridge and stove worked really well, we did have issues trying to get the lights to work. But we had lanterns so it was not a problem. We were visited by some cattle that were grazing near by. Bring your own cleaning supplies and bedding. The beds are full size with trundles under neath, there are two of them. There is a small table with chairs in the kitchen. There is a picnic table and fire ring outside as well.
TravelerWhat a fantastic lake! Secluded in the mountain back country of the Southern Oregon area - not far from Medford / Grants Pass / Siskiyou National Forest / Crater Lake
Great boating lake for water sports, good fishing, excellent hiking and great campsites and in nearby campgrounds not listed on The Dyrt yet, you can get some really secluded sites that are just beautiful... but do not expect more than an outhouse and a spigot, a picnic table (maybe a bear box?) and fire-ring- which to me is PHENOMENAL camping. Fresh water, a bathroom and nature. Works!
The Willow Lake County Park offers more amenities though and great wilderness. Its a beautiful little gem and gets amazing weather- from warm and sunny to random rainy thunderstorms that do not last long. Truly God-sent sunsets and sunrises.
Great place to make some wonderful memories with streams, creeks, the lake, the forested areas, trails, canyons, fishing, hiking, canoeing and more.
ScoutWe stayed at this campground over Memorial Day weekend in a C loop single site, and there was no disappointment! The mosquitos were fairly tame, the water was pure and clean, other campers kept quiet and to themselves, and the facilities were above our expectations for a state-run campground. No shortage of large, flat spaces of soft ground in campsites all ready for tents. Only a two minute drive from the resort and store!
