Website says open, but gates closed

I camped here last year before the Ride the Rim bike ride and it was great. You cannot reserve sites this time of year - it is only first come first served. I planned on doing the the same thing this year and when I drive up on Friday September 13 the website still said “open” but when I got there the gates were closed. There was a sign that said “sorry for the inconvenience”. Luckily Thielspn View campground was open on the west side of Diamond lake.

Beautiful Campground in great location near Crater Lake

This is a beautiful campground, heavily forested area. The sites were well spaced out and had plenty of parking. It is a large campground so it is easy to get turned around. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and empty every time I went in. Also tons of open sites even though it is was 4th of July week. Lots of dead firewood, tinder, and kindling around, so no need to bring/buy any. Crater Lake north entrance is very close, and some beautiful day use areas at Diamond Lake where the Verizon cell signal is very strong. The only downside is the mosquitoes. They were absolutely awful at all times of day, no reprieve unless in your tent. I grew up in the midwest, and the mosquito situation here rivaled our humid summer infestations back home, even though Broken Arrow is at 5,000 ft. too.

Nope

We had this campground booked 3 months in advance for 4th of July. Imagine our surprise when we arrived after a day of driving and site seeing at Crater Lake to find another family in our campsite. After they flat out refused to leave, we discovered there was no camp host to resolve the issue. Since there was no camp host there was also no one to clean the bathrooms or restock TP. Total sh*t show on a busy holiday weekend, mosquitoes EVERYWHERE. Never again.

Quiet space with amenities

I visited this campground only.  It wasn't very busy on July 4th, 2023.  It is very open, with very little brush, just tall trees.  The mosquitoes weren't as bad as at the Diamond Lake and Mount Thielson campgrounds.

This site also had showers and a dump site.  Only 1-2 bars on Verizon.  No electricity.

Beautiful Lodge Pine Forest

This is a dry camping campground. Inspite of what this app indicates, there are NO electric, water, or sewer hookups. There are water spigots scattered around the campground. None of them have a hose fitting. You'll need a water thief or water containers if you want to fill your RV tank.

Chose this campground for its proximity to Crater Lake Nat. Park. Lots of lake and river fishing nearby. This is a clean and well maintained campground. Sites are spacious. The bathrooms near us was clean and had flush toilets. There are shower facilities available. Interior roads were easy to navigate. June & July the mosquitos are horrable and the weather unpredictable. We had a hail storm lay down about 2 inches os blueberry size hail stones that were still on the ground the next morning. August & September Wasps can be a pain.

Surprisingly cool camping in July

We stayed in Broken arrow with our Scouts in July of 2021 and found it surprisingly cool at night for it being July. Temps dropped in the the low 30's both nights we stayed at the campground.  This is a nice large campground with paved roads and parking pads.  Restrooms with running water and showers is a big plus.  The campground sits in a nicely forested area.  Water spigots through out the campground and locations to dump your dish water.  Nice large sites with picnic tables and fire rings.  It's a short drive to Crater Lake National Park from the campground.  We were also surprised that he campground was just over half full in the middle of summer.

Did a drive through

This is a Forest Service Campground. We drove the road on the South end of Diamond Lake & saw this campground. Some of the sites looked very nice - right on the lake. Some were closer to the road. I would make a reservation early to get a good one. Looking at other reviews, there is a shower house, but no hookups.

4th of July

We stayed in A Loop site 5.

Great location only a 2 minute drive to Diamond Lake and 5 minutes to crater lake national park north entrance.

Only downside the bathrooms were not the cleanest and you shared it with the local spiders:)

The free showers and dump station was a plus:)

Great showers at this huge campground

Don’t get lost here! This is a HUGE campground with lots of loops. There is no dedicated tent loop so you might end up next to an Rv or maybe hammock campers. Spots are fairly level with just a couple sloppy ones next to the hill in the middle. The vibe is fairly laid back, with the die hard parties taking the big double spots in groups. It should be fairly easy to avoid.(Or join) them. Lots of the double spots have pull thru’s which is convient for the boat crowd. The showers are amazing!!!! Please donate a couple bucks to help keep them amazing. The lake is just across the road, but no sites have lake views. The lake is pretty busy with swimmers, fishers, and general water players. Feels good on a hot day. Also, you are just 15 minutes from the north entrance to Crater Lake.

Can’t wait to come back here!

Diamond Lake was originally supposed to be a pet of Crater Lake NP and I can see why. The Broken arrow campground is huge! It was very empty when I camped there but even in normal times, the sites at the beginning of loop J are nice, have open land on one side and is right next to a short path to the lake!

Clean and nice

Great camp hosts. Flushable toilets were cleaned daily. Nice and quiet really close to Diamond lake and a short drive to Crater Lake. Loved that there was minimal lighting at night and just yellow bulbs to reduce attraction to bugs. Made for wonderful day night sky viewing. Chipmunks everywhere :)

Eating me Alive!

This camp ground is clean, has showers/bathrooms and lots of space. Access to the lake is super close too! The only bad thing about this whole area is the mosquitos that are everywhere at dusk and dawn. Bring repellent as at one point my wife counted 22 mosquitos on my back! I know insects can’t be prevented but this is only reason why this doesn’t get five stars. We stayed at B3 tent area :)

Great location, short walk to Diamond Lake

This campground is huge! Well maintained restrooms with flushing toilets. There is one shower facility that was quite a walk from our campsite but very well maintained, worth the drive across the campground after a dusty day of hiking. Great location as it is a short drive to the North Entrance to Crater Lake.

Quiet....

This was a nice campground with well maintained sites and roads- the bathrooms and shower houses were in pretty good condition, and it was super quiet.....with the exception of the fire crews returning to camp from fighting wild fires.... make sure you bring the big dope- there’s a lot of mosquitos! The campground is between Diamond lake (a short walk away) and Crater lake which is just stunning! If you are anywhere nearby- it’s a MUST SEE!

3 stars cuz the mosquitos were swarming

Great campsite near Crater Lake, and water was very close to this site. The mosquitos were UNREAL, though. They swarm and stay swarming until you get in your tent. Bring bugspray and you won't get bit, but it was definitely pretty annoying. Facilities were really nice, wake up early enough to get warm showers. The showers are on timers, but I probably restarted it 3/4 times.

It's also much colder than you think it'll be. We went the first week in July, and temperatures probably got down to the mid-30s. Bring a blanket!
