Great spot, Weird people

We came here (2 female campers) and were amazed by the views and the hot springs! There were plenty of spots, 4wd would be nice to get up to the higher ones. The hot springs are clean and fun to hang out in. We did encounter a pretty creepy older guy and he made us feel very uncomfortable. We ended up not staying the night because he hung around. Don’t go alone! But it’s a great spot.

nice free camping, very close to crater lake

This is a perfect spot for hammocking and it is so quiet. There were some other campers, but there is so much space to spread out that we couldn’t even see them. The road is manageable, if you don’t have 4WD take the first right and there are some good spots. If you go straight, the road gets pretty bad but there’s a beautiful view from the rocky cliff at the top. The bugs were surprisingly not bad at all. It’s only a few minutes drive to the park, would totally recommend!
