"Shasta in the distance and mountains for days! It’s pretty high up therefore there’s usually really cold wind, keep that in mind for sleeping and fires."
"I was told by the park ranger they shutting down the upper campground opposite the restrooms and refurbishing the whole campground."
$25 - $75 / night
"This is truly an Oregon gem. Swimming, non-motorized boating, fishing, hiking, trail cycling, you name it, this place has it."
"not alot 0f people come here and I like it. very mellow. lots of wildlife."
$100 - $210 / night
"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. "
"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."
"Weather was perfect and the lake water level was great. It’s got a great beach area for kids to swim and play. Full of huge trout"
"The campsites are actually great with lots of trees and privacy. It's nice only having seven sites. They were very well kept and the people who run it are awesome. The lake, however, is kind of meh."
$40 / night
"It’s free to stay here, but there is no water or camp host. Plenty of firewood laying around if you need it. Bring an ax or a chainsaw, I’m sure the forest service won’t mind the help."
"Nice river running right next to the camp to cool off in and a wading pool has been made. Close to the road but little or no traffic."
"Awesome lake access with a few different trails leading down to the water, or where it would be if the lake was full. Beautiful area and great areas for kids."
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.
RangerEasy road to get to this stretch of river, and lots of campgrounds along. As described, 4 drive-ins & 2 walk-ins. Stays in closer walk-in #5. Later learned some girls had used a drive-in spot just for parking 😡. One vault toilet in fair condition, trash. No potable water. Beautiful stretch of river with swimming hole & great rocks to jump from. Beautiful sand beach. Definitely NOT big-rig friendly. Posted ‘no alcohol’, but don’t know why.
GuideThere are no hookups - no electricity, no water , no dump station at sites. There appears to be a water pipe? I’m not sure… but no faucet near the site. Beautiful surroundings, we even saw several mule deer.
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.
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.
GuideTent camped at Bolan Lake on Saturday, not a lot of people here which was nice. Sites have fire pit and tables, clean space to pitch tents or use rooftop tent. No WiFi or cell reception. This weekend was hot, close to 110 and being at lake was perfect. If you want peace and quiet, water access and blooming flowers with trees, this is a good spot.
It’s a pretty long dirt road to get to the campground, make sure you have good tires that can handed rocks/dirt terrain.
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.
ScoutLarge campsites with provided fire rings and picnic tables. Water spigot near the sites but no electrical hookups available, so this is dry camping. The flush toilet bathrooms in the campground are clean, but old, which makes them appear, at first glance, to be worse than they are. The bathrooms in the day use area on the outer edge of the campground are clean. I’m sure fish Lake is nice for swimming although when we went there water was 20% lower than normal and upon wading in you get stuck in the mud bottom before you can make it out to deeper water. The fishing was good! Our friends went fishing and had a great time. Firewood is available for sale from the camp host for 9 dollars a bundle. We brought firewood we purchased at the grocery store. The campsites are large and widely spaced enough that you can’t overhear people’s conversions around you but you can see them, so privacy is a little less here. The campsites are standard soft dirt floor. Its so fine that it gets everywhere though; especially if you have dogs with you. we had to sweep out the camper a few times. Fish Lake resort is within 5 minutes walking distance and has a little restaurant that serves breakfast during the morning and burgers, fries and local (some bottled, some on tap) microbrews for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is a bit spendy though. Attached to it is a small grocery store with food and camp supplies, which came in handy as we forgot D batteries; so $6 and 3 D cell batteries later and our indoor lantern worked great. The camp hosts are great! Very little to no bugs which surprised me being near a lake! All around a great 2 nights. On the last morning before we packed up the toilets had to closed because they couldn’t flush and the sink didn’t have running water. The water spigots also stopped working and we were told that the well the campground gets its water from just went dry. The nearby campground of doe point also had their well run dry. Bring extra water just in case. I would recommend this camp ground to people.
