I **HIGHLY** recommend that you stay anywhere else but this RV park for the simple reason that they hide the fact that YOU CANNOT CHECK-IN AFTER 5PM! They will not allow you to arrive to your campsite, even if you have reserved and paid for it in advance, and will refuse to give you a refund. If you book through other sites (such as campspot.com) you won't be made aware of this issue until they call you 30 minutes before they leave for the day. In addition to not providing a refund or access, they told us to instead go camp in the parking lot of the local pizza place, "Because they never tow from their lot". Entire campsite seems totally unprofessional and sketch. You can camp anywhere in the National Park for free and there are lots of places nearby or closer to Crate Lake itself.
Please know that at this park, if you arrive late, you will be denied access to your site, even if you have paid for it in advance when you made your reservation. I reserved and paid for sites for myself and a friend coming up from California. He was not expected to arrive until about 8PM. I was told by the manager that since the office would be closed then and no staff available to "Lead him to his site" he would have to stay out of the park until the following day. When I asked about a refund for the night he was denied, I was told there would be no refund. At that point I decided to leave the park myself and simply forfeit the $250+ I had paid for our two sites and make sure I put this information out to as many people as I could to save them from finding themselves in a similar situation. I will neve go back to this place.
My Wife and I are from Vancouver BC. This is a nice RV Campground close to Crater Lake. Very quiet. We used this campground as our base then ventured out to do lots of hiking to see some beautiful scenery not just Crater Lake. We did some kayaking on Hemlock Lake. Fishing there is very productive. We had some very nice weather the day we visited Crater Lake. The two washroom buildings could use a little bit of TLC. There was no Wi-Fi at this campground. If you travelled to the top of the road towards the highway you can pick up a strong cell service.
Close to the lake, walk or drive or bike. Full hook ups. Super nice people! We have a 35 foot RV and 20 foot utility trailer and they had a nice spot for us. They have a laundry, bring lots of quarters. Snow still here in May, beautiful area and lovely lake with cabins and boat rentals and restaurant. Bring your kayaks and fishing poles!!
The good thing is that there is a lovely path that goes around the lake close to rv park. Also there is a pretty good pizza place. The park itself wasn’t super. Many of the sites were very unlevel. Sites very close to each other and really not very dog friendly at all.
