About
National Forest
Umpqua National Forest
Overview
In the shadow of majestic Mount Bailey on the west shore of Diamond Lake, this campground takes its name from the view of the unforgettable peak of Mt. Thielsen. Thielsen View Campground is a favorite with families and anglers.
Recreation
This campground is a great location for many recreational opportunities. Diamond Lake is stocked annually with 300,000 rainbow trout. If fishing is not your thing, the campground is on the John Dellenback trail. This paved trail is an 11-mile loop around the lake. If you prefer to travel by foot, Mount Bailey and Rodney Butte trails are less than a five-minute drive to the trailhead.

Thielsen View Campground has a boat ramp, free for campers staying in Thielsen View. Water spigots and gray water sumps are located throughout the campground. Each loop has at least two vault toilets. The closest RV dump station is at the resort___s gas station. The fee is $5 to use the resort___s dump or campers may use the Forest Service dump station in Diamond Lake or Broken Arrow Campgrounds. There are 60 sites in the campground, all are available by reservation only.

GuideMosquito paradise
I started to stay here as a walk in on July 3, 2023, but was overwhelmed by the mosquitoes. There are plenty of very private sites sloping down to the lake and more importantly, the marsh. The roads are paved as are the sites. Water, but no electricity. No camp host and onlyt 1-2 bars on Verizon
GuideClosed
Was closed when we tried to get a spot. Possibly for the season? Unclear since nothing was posted. Would have liked to stay the night since there were no great options on this stretch of road and we ended up getting stuck in a storm.
TravelerGood location for the Fourth of July
This is one of our yearly go-to campgrounds. Good kayaking. Good views. Good hiking. Some highlights:
- The Diamond Lake resort across the lake has a small, but fun, fireworks show each Fourth. It’s a nice time for night ‘yaking.
- There’s a paved path around the lake that makes it convenient to bike to the store at Diamond Lake Resort.
- Most, if not all, campsites have plenty of space between them.
- It tends to be a fairly tranquil campground.
