Diamond Lake

We love Diamond Lake! We camp here every summer. This year we actually had two sites: L4 and M3. We tent camped in L4 all week in August and it is a perfect summer tent camping spot. We had direct access to the lake and the site is shady so the summer heat didn't bother us. We were prepared for mosquitos, but they were non-existent this year although earlier in the year they are. Our friends camped in M3 in an RV. It's a smaller RV spot but its nice. A 30' RV fit fine. Bring leveling blocks if you camp in M3 though as the RV spot isn't completely level. We rented a platoon boat from the Marina at the Diamond Lake Resort for a full day and it was fun to fish and explore in. We also had a delicious cheeseburger at the Diamond Lake Resort Lodge one day. The fishing from the shore is pretty much non-existent, but if you do catch fish, there is a really good fish cleaning station at the North Shore boat launch. We really enjoyed sitting by the lake at our campsite just watching the wildlife and resetting our brains. This year the lake was smoky due to the Jack wildfire down by Roseburg/Glide, but it was worse in the evening than in the mornings. We didn't have too much problems with it. This is the first year we had smoke. We couldn't have a campfire due to extreme fire conditions, but the park let us use our propane firepit so it was fine. We highly recommend Diamond Lake for camping. Families love it and the sites are very nicely distanced from each other. Praying that wildfires never take this beautiful Oregon campground. If you haven't been, I recommend trying it, but be warned you have to be very diligent to get a lakeside camp spot, they go fast on the reservation website. This campground is close to Crater Lake as well and there are bunches of hiking trails and waterfalls nearby also. We also checked out Lemolo Lake this year and it looked to be a good swimming lake. There is a day use fee, but it's only $5. Go...you won't be sorry.

This a nice campground, most sites are large and offer good privacy. Another plus is that showers are available.

The trip was great. There were no bugs (just ants)- it was pretty amazing- not one mosquito. The weather was great. The sites are not very level at all... that took a toll on our backs- but with us being right on the lake it was wonderful. Bathrooms were clean- didn't use the shower. Stayed in M loop. Next time will look to find a spot on the lake that is more level.

Site was small

I love the park and stayed twice this summer. Dog poop stations would be great. I found there were lots of feces piles around and maybe having bags available would help.

We stayed in the south m loop second week august. Mosquitos were not a problem. Pretty quiet for a large campground. Showers were a plus. Very little trail hiking through cg mainly paved roads excellent for bike riding. Rangers very nice.

Canoeing was excellent because the water was unusually calm. Bike riding around was a blast. Nice family friendly place

Convenient to Crater Lake national park and many other nice trails. Location is beautiful with the lake and diamond peak across the lake.

A large campground situated on the shores of Diamond Lake, we were dry camping there for four days. A eleven mile paved bike path circles the lake, first through a lovely forest and then following the shore. It was a great workout for those who use peddle power but e-bikes were also welcome! Showers available with suggested donations. Boat ramp and lake access for swimming. No fires allowed at this time. (August 2021) Near the Crater Lake National Park. A must see!

Our family camping trip was awesome. The smoke only rolled in in the late afternoon. We visited the corral and rode the horses. The whole experience was just awesome!
