Good spots by Crater lake

Really loved this spot was nice and flat and open. Close to Crater lake and hikes. Had service and didn’t run into too many people.

Patchy service, cool spots

We went here and found a decent spot but then hiked up the road more to the top and found a super cool spot. It was a little rougher road, but totally worth it.

Great quiet site

Nice site, no bugs in August. Close by to all the crater lake hikes. Even got 3 bar TMobile 5g at the site a mile or so up the road on the left

Room for everyone

This specific spot and others nearby were occupied. Kept driving and in less than a mile found a spot all to ourselves. Huge site, perfectly level, in the woods. Not many mosquitoes. Solid T-mobile coverage.

Big rig friendly!

Perfect stop along the way! About a mile in, there’s plenty of open space for big rigs! Several areas had small fire pits. We saw 2 vehicles in the afternoon and could hear other campers in the morning but couldn’t see them.

Flying Insect Heaven

It was a nice area; it was pretty easy to access, and there was lots of open space. I couldn't really hear the highway, but several trucks did drive down the dirt road. Had good cell service with t-mobile , but did spend most of the time in my tent due to the flies and mosquitoes

Quiet

I spent a Thursday night here and it was almost completely empty. I only saw one person drive down the forest road. Good cell service for T-Mobile. Easily accessible for any car. Be a good human and bring a trash bag to pack out some of the litter.

Right outside the park

Plenty of different types of camping spots: trailer and RV to serious offroad spots. I found a very secluded place with my 4by4 down rough road but plenty of other options. Best thing about it was I was able to be in the park to watch the sunrise.

Awesome sites in ponderosa forest

Lovely big boondocking spaces with plenty of room. Close to Crater Lake NP. Road in is excellent, passable by any vehicle when we were here in late October. Mostly flat sites with varying privacy. The further you drive in the more privacy you will get. No service as this is just a spot to park for the night but perfect for self contained folks or hardy tent campers. It snowed when we were here in late October! At around 5,000ft elevation

Nice large site just a mile off of OR-138 on NF-70

We are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and had scouted the area before arriving with the RV. NF-70 is gravel and in pretty good shape, i.e., no potholes, but is heavily washboarded. This wasn’t an issue for the Cherokee, but with a stiffer suspension, I had to limit the RV speed to less than 7 mph to keep from shaking it apart. We found a nice large and level site(43.0722212,-121.9514206) just off of NF-70 and there were a few other dispersed sites near there as well. We stayed for 3 days in late September and had the place to ourselves. There was no one else with in miles of our spot and only saw 2 or 3 cars each day on NF-70. There were a few 9mm bullet casings on the ground, so locals probably use the spot to camp and target shoot. One of the tree stumps was riddled with bullet holes. AT&T service was fair with 1-2 bars of LTE and speeds up to about 7 MB/s. We were able to get DISH coverage on one of the western satellites at our site through a gap in the trees. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.
