Pretty great location close to Crater Lake NP. There were a decent amount of mosquitoes still around the area in August when we went, but with insect repellent they didn't bite, they were just annoying. The public bathrooms are pretty gross here but otherwise it was a good location for a one-night stay.

The campground is very clean. The camp hosts were polite and friendly. The edges of the spurs were crumbling, I assume due to the harsh winter weather, making it dangerous at times to walk in the dark. Need some fill along those 6-8 in drops for safety. Beautiful setting.
