A little rough
Site 29 does not have a place for any size tent, not even my backpacking tent...I ended up pulling my car as far forward as I could and using the parking space. Other than that great views!

If I could give zero stars...
My husband and I drove about 3.5 hours with all our gear and our two dogs to this campground. It looked that beautiful in the photos, and the lake and mountain views are undoubtedly gorgeous. But the campground itself leaves a lot to be desired...as soon as we arrived, there was this creepy, doomy, vacant feeling. Uncared for, untended sites. Rusted and pushed over dumpsters. No camp host. The sign on our site (20) hadn't been updated and a father and young son were all set up with a fire...and who is to blame them? No one had posted our reservation and we didn't want to ruin their time. Not their fault.
Just gotta take this one on the chin. So weird because I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with all parks in the pnw (state and national). Probably will not return.
Also one million bazillion trillion mosquitos.

Great little campground. Beautiful views!
Check out this link for a full walkthrough video of the campground. Every campsite is in the video.

We spent a week there in October and it was beautiful and empty. Very quite other than a little road noise. No water on site but has vault toilets. Amenities are close by.

Small but very well kept!
Fantastic views of the lake and mountains beyond! Camp sites with parking for 1 large or two small vehicles. Some grass camping, some pine floor. Restrooms available. Pet friendly.
A PARK FIT FOR A PRINCESS ON THE LAKE!!
I LOVE THIS CAMPGROUND! We will be returning soon. This site is walk-in and has space for parking, boats, and large family tents right on the lake. No showers, but the bathrooms are clean. Odell lake is gorgeous and has a rock bottom, Great for wading out into the water or swimming. Fishing is an option if you have a larger boat or canoe to withstand the waves of the water. Also, gorgeous views of the mountain if you want to use the nearby day use area!!

Beautiful little campground with a bit of noise
Driving from Portland to Crater Lake, we happened upon this campground when we couldn’t find our original goal (Salt Creek) and it was starting to get a bit dark. This happy little accident turned out to be a beautiful little campground with our own private mini beach. About 30 sites with no facilities other than fairly clean pit toilets. Sites are decently sized. We were there on a Wednesday night arriving at 7 and managed to snag an open site right on the lake. While the main description says it’s not great for RVs, it’s almost completely filled with travel trailers and a few larger RVs and there’s lots of pull-throughs, so I don’t think that’s much of a problem.
It is fairly close to highway 58, so you can definitely hear the traffic. There’s also a train than runs and occasionally honks its horn, but that seems to be coming from further away, perhaps across the lake.
Overall, a great stopping point with beautiful sites. For just $14, I think it’s definitely worth it.
Tips: grab a spot on the water if you can. You can even launch your boat and tie it up at your campsite.
