Any Cheryl Strayed/Reese Witherspoon fans in the house? Retrace their Wild footsteps in the Fremont-Winema National Forest; part of the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail falls along the forest’s western edge.

This place is a must stay. We had an amazing time camping here, even if it was so freaking cold the night we stayed. We utilized the free canoe and it was well worth it. The store has everything you need, is reasonably priced, and everyone that works there is so nice. Would recommend and if I'm back around Crater Lake I'll be back for sure.

We loved our stay at Crater Lake resort! The campground was beautiful, clean, quiet and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was plenty to do. Our campsite was spacious, there were swings and a playground area for our kids, and we loved canoeing in the beautiful creek. It was also a quick and pleasant drive from Crater Lake.

Weekend Trip to Crater Lake Resort

Where to start...Wendy, Madison and Brooke were the sweetest! Wendy made sure to take care of a charge from Hipcamp that shouldn't have been charged for a reservation modification. The store and set up behind are awesome! The play structure could use some help, the swings are great, canoes are awesome, the store perfect! I would day if the owners added a hot tub or a few of them, with an outside shower and a 1hr color coded max time in at a time, the guests would be in heaven! They could even do beaver tours at night, we saw at least 9 at one time. Its a gem of a spot and hope to go back!!!

My daughter and I had the pleasure of camping at Crater Lake Resort for a night, and it was absolutely perfect. The campsite was spacious and peaceful, offering a serene escape while still being just a short drive away from Crater Lake National Park—perfect for exploring during the day. The amenities were excellent. The bathrooms and showers were clean, well-maintained, and easily accessible, which made our stay even more comfortable. I really appreciated how quiet and relaxing the atmosphere was, with the sound of a nearby creek adding to the natural charm of the area. The location itself is beautiful, with plenty of space to explore, and there were several things to do nearby, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers. Whether you're hiking, stargazing, or just soaking in the surroundings, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy the outdoors. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend Crater Lake Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic, and well-equipped campsite. I will absolutely be back in the future!

The hosts had a wonderful location near a creek/river and offered the use of canoes. The area was full with the sounds of some owls and mammals , includung beavers slapping their tails on the creek waters at night. They had a well stocked store that had foods, bevs, and some camping supplies, a laundry room, nice hot showers, and a large campsite on grass with large pine trees overhead. Wow! What a great place to stay. Good people. Good place.

Great campground in beautiful location en route to Crater Lake. RV sites under some trees (there are tent sites and cabins as well). The campground is nicely laid out, so all the spots feel relatively private (though the RV ones were a little tight) and have nice views. It's enjoyable to walk around the grounds, and there's a very pretty stream nearby that's worth checking out. Also convenient to have the store on the grounds for any basics you might need. The main downside of this place were the mosquitoes, which we were told have been unusually bad this year. Hopefully not a regular occurrence, and having plenty of bug spray, citronella candles, and the campfire helped. There was also some road noise from cars passing by to and from the park, but this wasn't constant and beceme infrequent in the evenings. Of course, Crater Lake itself was also stunning, so we felt lucky to have found this great place to stay in the area. All in all, we'd happily be back again!

It was nice! There was a well kept outhouse, and she put hand sanitizer and such inside. Nice touches. There was a garbage can and a picnic table - we had a good camping experience there. The only drawback in my opinion is that the camp lacks a source of water so you need to bring your own.

Very friendly staff, well stocked general store, convenient location right off highway, respectful campers during my stay. Washroom facilities are older, but clean. River front RV sites are quite close together, #15 was especially tight. Okay spot to spend night after exploring Crater Lake National Park.
