Jackson F. Kimball State Recreation Site

Easy to find. Small campground but was only 4 of us there so not too bad. Very beautiful scenery. Get your groceries before you get off your exit very limited on options. Toilets were stinky so I’m glad I had my private portable. Quiet morning.

The campground itself is pretty basic, though at $11/night the price is right. The setting is beautiful and it's very close to Crater Lake. Very buggy though!

But the main draw is the amazing clear beautiful glassy water. Wow. It's so beautiful.

This campsite was great! All the spots were very spread out and offered a lot of space. One thing… TONS of mosquitos. Absolutely swarmed. Bring bug spray like crazy. Otherwise it was a perfect place to stay! Stayed on 6/22

Campground was really pretty and next to a beautiful blue creek/river. Offers a few walk-in tent sites, and a few pull-through sites. Quiet and relaxing place to stay. 0/10 do NOT recommend staying in May if you're not prepared for snow or cold 😂

Great views and easy camping. The sites were close together, but no one else was there while we were. Got super cold at night, but with the sun out, it’s perfect.

Got in around 4pm. Plenty of sites were still available because of the rain. Chose a tent only one closer to the water with picnic table and fire pit. Not a lot to the water view and not a lot to kayak not the water is extremely clear. After a rain storm got a really pretty sunset.

Gorgeous primitive campground nestled among the tall pines. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings, but no electric, water or sewer onsite. There’s no potable water so make sure you bring what you need. There are two vault toilets. Campsites will fit a variety of needs, including longer campers, though only a couple of sites would fit the “big guys”. Sites are first come, first served. Note we had zero cell service on both Verizon and AT&T. Very pretty, clear river runs through the campground and is a popular spot for kayakers/paddle larders and fishing.

Clean and simple campground. Twelve sites (three pull into spots and 9 where you park seperate and then walk around a fence to the tent site). 2 semi clean vault toilets, nothing to write home about but also fairly clean by comparison to others. Beautiful little lake/Creek next to the campground, only downside is it results in an abundance of mosquitos, like so so many.

Must be some horses near the campground too because I heard horses all evening.

I stayed here 1 night a few years ago, the campground is small with a handful of sites.  Just a short walk from the campsite you get to see the wood river headwaters, gorgeous, crystal clear water.

This spot was perfect for the one night I was there. Campsite was pretty quiet and had a handful of open spots upon arrival. Don’t let the many cars turn you away! It seems like most people use this as a put in spot and then caravan back from a second destination.

The water was so quiet and peaceful and there was just a few other people around. I had so many people wondering where this was after sharing photos because it was so beautiful!

Usually don't stay at campground with numbered sites but this place was gorgeous. The spring is stunning and the ground was soft and flat. Plenty of firewood around to start a cooking fire. Bugs were bad around sunset, but bug spray helped. Would recommend this site to anyone looking for a low key lace to cam near Crater Lake

This campground is one of my favorites and is home to a beautiful crystal clear natural spring. It is well maintained, clean, and has picnic tables. It looked like there are stables available. We went kayaking and it was a nice calm gorgeous spot. Perfect spot for a campground.

Perfect little spot off the main road. not many sites but plenty of parking

Kimball state park was such a beautiful place for me to be able to camp! I ended up there after tragic news, connecting with nature is something that is so healing for me. My boyfriend, dog, and I made it home for two nights. We had brought our kayaks and launched right off the bank. It was also an off time at the end of September so we were practically the only ones. The bathrooms are nice, but it was recommended by the parks employees to keep the doors open for circulation. Every spot had room for a fire and a table. Will be back for sure.
