CAMPING RECOMMENDATION, PLEASE!
Yahoo Message Number: 50338
We will be doing some travelling to Washington this summer. We would like to make a one-night stop somewhere family friendly near Crater Lake, OR on the way back. Any recommendations for campgrounds??

Thanks in advance!

Others should be able to give some better alternatives.  But, a good place to start the thinking process is Valley of the Rougue State Park about 10 or 15 miles south of Grants Pass, Oregon on I-5.  That is about where one leaves I-5 to start toward Crater Lake.  It is a very nice state park with lots of places to walk, but that's about all.

Hello Kerrs!

My sister lives in Vancouver, WA and has been to Diamond Lake campground several times-they rave about it. There is a lot to do at that lake. There is a private campground with all the amenities and also an Oregon State campground on the lake. Both are said to be really nice. Lots for a family to do. There are websites, and you can put Diamond Lake into a search engine like Google and pull them up, I'm sure.

Good Luck!

I second the recommendation for Diamond Lake campground. We stayed there two years ago in our LD with cousins who tented next to us. There is a biking/hiking path around the lake (11 miles around) that we pedaled with my cousin's  8 and 10 yr old kids. Very pretty and peaceful place when we were there (september). We never did drive into Crater Lake NP.

 Do you require hookups?  If not, the campground in the park itself is nice...Mazama Village.  It's near the junction of SR-62 and the southern entrance to the park.

Diamond Lake RV Resort a few miles outside the north gate of  Crater Lake is a very nice stop   541-793-3318.  Trailer Life has it rated at 8/9.5*/9.  We enjoyed it last June.  Be advised that last year when we were at Crater Lake(6-15-04) the North entrance was closed, due to snow, but reopened the next day.
