What a view. A quiet shaded area with room to bike and circle the lake. The stars shine at night almost as much as this camping area. Worth not having electrical power to enjoy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our fourth stop on a recent family vacation was at the beautiful Diamond Lake Campground near Crater Lake. This was just a great place to visit with young children. We had a waterfront spot(G29)with over 100 feet of private beach on a sub alpine lake that was 300 yards from a store and a pizza joint. It doesn't get better than that. Oh, I forgot to mention...beautiful Mt. Bailey looms in your view right across the lake. And you are only 20 minutes from Crater Lake. We just loved it. When you first go to Recreation.gov and look at sites it seems like a confusing jumble of loop after loop. What Diamond Lake consists of is one of the longest campgrounds I have ever seen. It runs for almost three miles along the eastern shore of the lake. You enter in the middle and then drive either south or north through a series of loops for over a mile each way. It takes a while to drive to each end unless you don't care about your fellow campers. It is not clear from the map, but the A and G sites are on the main road in each direction north and south, respectively. There are about six million great spaces in this campground. Almost all of the waterfront sites are outstanding. Our site was at the very south end. We pulled in at dusk and set camp to a field of stars and the shadow of the mountain. When we woke up we took a walk and saw a modest little green building down a trail at the south end of the camp. When we walked down the trail we saw that the building was the South Lake Store. It is a well stocked little store with plenty of ice cream, good basics, and even some fun stuff. But my son's jaw dropped when we noticed that next door was a pizza restaurant. He adores pizza. So for us, a well maintained wilderness-looking site a few steps from pizza and ice cream was pretty much nirvana. The south loops of the CG head towards the south store and pizza. The pizza was good and the beer was mighty fine. The north shore loops run up to the Diamond Lake resort with a full service breakfast-lunch-dinner restaurant and a lounge. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to visit either, but word of mouth was good. Both loops are part of one of the best bike trails you will ever find. Diamond Lake has a 12 mile paved loop around the lake that is a real treat. We rode through the campground looking at other sites and then along the shore to the resort. After the resort you ride along the lake for a long stretch with views of the lake and Mt Bailey and then jagged Mt. Thielsen. On the far side of the lake you ride up into the forest away from the lake in nice up and down stretches. Finally you descend into beautiful golden wetland meadows at the south end of the lake before you reach the store and campground. Just an awesome trail that is an easy 1-2 hour ride. A few impressions on other campgrounds at Diamond Lake. There are three other options. Thielsen View is across the lake. I thought the bike trail would pass through but it did not so I only saw it from a distance. It looked to be older forest and very nice, but I think being closer to all services is much better. Broken Arrow is in a nice stand of forest with a creek running through but is almost a half-mile from the lake. I rode through a bit of it. both could be fine options on a big weekend. I also walked across the road to Diamond Lake RV. As tent trailer folks this would not be the place for us. The park is in a pleasant enough meadow above the lake, but it doesn't have much of a view of either the lake or the mountains. Spots have little or no privacy and most campers seemed to be large Class A's. If you absolutely need the hookup then consider this. It is heavily reserved. But I would forgo the plug and camp on the lake. Diamond Lake has tons of spots to handle anything up to 40 feet. Sites may say 35, but we saw plenty of pull throughs with big rigs. OK--I guess I rambled a bit, but you get the idea. Great place, go there soon. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

BEWARE! Truly the worst mosquito infestation we have ever seen. Impossible to even leave your motorhome without being completely covered in mosquitoes, regardless of the type of repellant you use. Also, the managers blithely put overnighters in the worst possible spots in the campground. After being there an hour, we left, (and of course they didn't refund us) because the mosquitoes were so bad and the camp spot sat right on the road, unlevel, and impossible to be outside in. We do NOT recommend this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had site W-1, a great site, large, shady. The park was quiet, the staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There was a forest fire blocking access to the park from the west and they called us early the morning we were to arrive to let us know about that. We loved the park and will return again if in the area. Diesel fuel at the nearby resort is outrageous in cost ($5.60/gallon). Fill up before you arrive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of the nicest parks we've stayed in. Our site is a pull-through which is long and level. It is a little narrow with 4 slides, but there is still plenty of room for us since we're out all day, and it is too cold to spend much time out in the evening. As posted before, there is no TV reception other that satellite, and our site have us reception within a couple of minutes of pulling in. We had originally planned on staying 2 nights, but the park was nice enough, and we justified our decision by the fact that we couldn't see all that we wanted in one day. We plan on coming back to this area, and particularly this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful area. The sites are a little rustic and there are some sites that would be a little tight for a big rig. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. They have fire pits and wood available which was nice for one of the cool nights during our stay. Lots of hiking trails. The Lake is breathtaking and within walking distance. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice RV park which is right across the street from Diamond Lake. They have some pull-thrus suited for Big Rigs, but not all so my suggestion is to make reservations and let them know your size. Very helpful and nice staff who will escort you to your site. We had no problems and we are 40' with 4 slides, but then again I made reservations and they were great to get me a great site. Wi-Fi worked great. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. There is a pizza pallor across the street with a small camp store. The pizza was excellent. Make sure you bring all your grocery supplies since there is nothing in the area for groceries except for 2 small camp stores. Close to Crater Lake and the Hwy 138 Waterfall Drive (which was beautiful). Beautiful weather even for the middle of August. My only reason for not giving a 10 was there is no TV reception or cable at all. Great for those who camp, but we travel full-time and use our RV as our home and tour with our toad and appreciate TV once in awhile especially since we stayed one week. All that said we had a great time, people are wonderful and would not hesitate to stay again, even longer if TV reception was in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Interior roadways are okay, but some need some work. Killer speed bumps. Gravel pads, some level, some not. We found that we had a lot of privacy in our space, despite having large rigs on either side of us. Very polite and helpful staff. That having been said, this is a nice park, and we enjoyed our stay here very much. Very peaceful, with plenty to do in the area (Crater Lake, etc.) We plan on returning to this place, and will recommend it to friends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The staff here was very helpful. Escorted to the site. Diamond Lake is just across the street with the bike trail just across the street also. The reason this park was not rated higher is that we were in the W loop and that loop had no restroom. It was quite a walk to get to the closest shower and restroom. Also, our site did not have a 50 amp connection. The wi-fi here was good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great campground in the Oregon mountains close to Crater Lake Natl Park for short or long stays. The management/staff were friendly and helpful. The Wi-Fi was slow with a good signal, but then we were right next to the antenna (site W-31). The laundry was adequate, but not great. Bring a satellite dish if you plan on staying very long as there are no local channels or cable TV. If you have a big rig this is about the only real choice you have for camping in the area. We checked out the Forest Service campgrounds shortly after arrival and were glad we came here. The FS campgrounds are great for smaller Class C's, campers, and tents. The roads are narrow, windy and have many low tree branches hanging over the road. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park. Some sites are a little tight but for the most part all are very nice. The staff are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. The bike trails around the lake are great and the fishing is always good. This little park is on my top 10 list of places to stay in America! We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of our favorite places. The restrooms and laundry are a little older but spotless. The setting is one to die for. And so much to do there and in the area. We is a return for us over and over. Great owners and staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had high hopes for this campground after reading the reviews here. Yes, the campground itself is very nice and relatively peaceful. However, every contact we had with the staff was less than satisfactory. It started when I completed the reservation form per the directions, scanned it and emailed it back per the directions at the top of the form. I received a curt reply that I need to call to make reservations. Upon our arrival, when we were checking in, the woman in the office called our daughter a rugrat which upset her, the man who led us to our site nearly guided me into a tree and then when I circled around to get a better line into our site, the same woman who I had paid 5 minutes before, ran out of the office yelling at me to stop because I needed to pay. The icing on the cake was the employee who showed up in our site as we were hitching up to tell us that they had our site booked and wanted to make sure we were leaving. This despite the fact that it was 1.5 hours before checkout time. It's a beautiful area, but I would not stay at this particular campground again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice RV park, but WiFi is important to us and, when we were there, it didn't work (they said it was the first time in three years). We were able to get WiFi in the parking lot of the lodge, but it was so slow, that it was virtually useless. Nearby Creator Lake is one of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen and Diamond Lake is also very pretty. We rented a pontoon boat and spent a very pleasant afternoon on the lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very rustic campground, in tall pine trees, gravel site with cement patio. Very friendly and helpful staff keep CG in immaculate condition. Some sites have satellite access. One of the nicest CG's we have ever stayed at. Would be a 10 is there was a pool. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a very fun park in a very fun area. There was lots of room between sites, and everything was very clean. The only drawback was the mosquitos! If you camp here in June, don't forget to bring your Off! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice park. It is well laid out with lots of room between sites. The staff was very nice and friendly. They gave us a site with a "lake view", but it was a back in site so we couldn't see the lake. And that part of the park didn't have WiFi service. So we asked to move to a different spot and they were very accommodating and found us a great spot-K-2-that the WiFi worked in very well. There are squirrels and chipmunks running all over and are fun to watch. The mosquitos are really bad so bring lots of spray. We got bitten several times just hooking up our facilities!! The lake is right across the road and is beautiful. Crater Lake is a short drive away. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent camping park. Does not have lots of stuff for kids like swimming pools and game rooms but for adults it is a quiet, restful park in the tall pines with lots of chipmucks and birds. The WiFi doesn't work well in the far western part of the park and the bugs are big and common so you'll definitely need to spray yourself before venturing out each morning, but it is well worth the price. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had the best time ever and highly recommend this RV Park. The hosts were outstanding, friendly, and just plain caring. The park was clean. Not a far drive to Diamond Lake or Crater Lake. Diamond Lake was being drained at the time so that was a little disappointing since my husband planned on fishing. We went white water rafting too. We would like to return someday! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an incredible park! Close to Crater Lake, very "campground"-ish, and a wonderful staff. There's great biking in the area, and diamond lake is beautiful. I'd have given it a 10 if the WiFi were more consistent, but it was difficult to logon and stay on (and you had to be in designated areas). BUT, you're in a very remote area, and any internet access is better than none. We left a night early, a big mistake on our part. We should have stayed! Bring your bug spray - we had monster bugs that left monster bites! I'd highly recommend this park. It's wonderful! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our fourth year staying in this park. Rate is with Good Sam discount. New this year is free Wi-Fi. This is not a Forest Sevice campground. The owners are very friendly as well as there staff. The perfect place to either see Crater Lake, fish or just kick back. Rustic, but with all the hookups and Wi-Fi. We will be back next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As the reviews say below, this is still a great RV park. They have added free Wi-Fi to their amenities. Helpful staff, close to Crater Lake. Bring your bug spray as the mosquitoes are big. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A great location close to Crater Lake but also surrounded with other lesser known scenery. The owners were very friendly and the place is beautiful. We asked for a space more in the open for our satellite dome to work so we were more into a sunny area but most sites are tucked into the tall pine trees. Plenty of room to navigate big rigs and the free wi-fi worked very well. The only drawback is that the mosquitoes were all over the place. However, Diamond Lake is being drawn down by the Forest Service to kill off some kind of growth this summer. The stagnant, low water may have affected this more. Maybe the mosquitoes won't be so bad next time when the lake is allowed to refill. We'll find out, because we're definitely going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the things that stand out for us in this park was the staff. I couldn't get over how friendly they were, they helped us back in our 5th wheel and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We had close access to Crater Lake but came back to a quiet well looked after campground, the bathrooms were spotless as were the grounds. We would highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is like a full service forest service campground. Paved interior roads, but the sites are gravel / dirt. Very rustic. It is beautifully nestled in the fir trees. Full hook ups. Fire rings at every site. From our site (W-19) you could see Diamond Lake. Very quiet. Pleasant staff. Great star gazing at night. Quick and easy drive to Crater Lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A great family park. There is a nice restaurant on site. There is a great paved bike path around the lake (at least 2 miles) that makes for a great easy ride. Boat rentals are a nice feature. Just a nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A friend of ours said this place may be the best kept secret in Oregon. He was right! It is one of the best we have ever stayed in. Restrooms and laundry were older but very clean. Two phone / modem stations and each with it's own line. Heavily wooded in very tall pines. This will be a repeat for us. We extended our stay there this time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There are many large, level sites that can accommodate big rigs but most were back in sites. Heavily forested area but the interior roads are wide and paved. No street lights so the stargazing is great (if you can find a clear spot through the trees). Each site has a fire pit for campfires. Internet access is available but requires an 800 number or calling card. Across the road and along the shore of Diamond Lake is the National Forest Service campground of the same name. Although there are no hookups, this seems like a bargain at $10 a day. But lakeside sites are $5 more and the sites that are big enough for big rigs (and there are quite a few) are designated multi-use and add another $5 premium. So, a lakesite site big enough for my 33' fifthwheel will cost $20 a day compared to a full hookup at Diamond Lake RV Park for $24.30 (with Good Sam discount). Mazama Campground, on the other side of Crater Lake, is $20 a day with no hookups. So I think Diamond Lake RV Park is the place to stay if you are visiting Crater Lake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a great campground, every site was nestled in the woods with nature all around. We really enjoyed it. Access to diamon lake, swimming and boating. The drive to crater lake was very easy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is the closest park to Crater Lake with access for big rigs. Really pretty sites among the pine trees. Some sites are kinda tight for big rigs. Lots of wildlife and the Pikas are real cute till you find they're getting into anything you leave out. There is a pizza place right across the road and the lake is within easy walking distance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a very nice park, close to Crater Lake National Park which does not have a campground with hookups. Also across the street from Diamond Lake with boating, fishing and recreation activities. Some spaces were rather small but overall was a nice park and we will be back. Stayed there in the Fall of 2002, not crowded at all. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
