Best the Lake has to offer

By far the most private and beautiful camping in the lake. Reservable, paved, out of the wind with flush toilets and showers. Nice big spots for you and your friends to hang out.

Simax Group Camp @ Crescent Lake, Oregon

Awesome campground! Group camp setup, spot D is further away from the lake, but also very private. Couldn't even see neighbors and very quiet at night. Loved being close to the lake! Beautiful trees surround the lake, lots of rentals at the resort (canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, paddle boats, jet skis, fishing poles, and fishing boats), a general store, a restaurant, and a boat launch. There's a campground across the lake, but we don't know the name of it. Odell Lake is a neighboring lake with resort and campground nearby. Lots of trails around the lake too. We'd rate it a 9.
