Lots of reserved site were empty. I wish there was at least a small refund so people would cancel their reservation if they can't use it. Then it would free it up for others to enjoy.

Amazing camp ground experience! Being so close to the lake was wonderful and being 30 minutes away from Crater Lake was a huge plus. My fiancΓ© and I are planning to stay there again.

Beautiful quiet campground and the campsite had a wonderful view of the lake and mt theilsen. Facilities were clean. Fair warning, ground squirrels were plentiful and bold! Keep your food secured!

A great base for hiking Mt. Thielsen and Mt. Bailey as well as exploring Crator Lake. The campground is spacious with great views and shade. The only downside was the density of mosquitos.

I was initially bummed that we couldn't get a camping spot by the water but the dock and shore was just a short walk from our site in the A loop and honestly this campground was awesome. The lake is gorgeous, stargazing at night on the dock was amazing, and the Diamond Lake Resort store about 15 minutes down the road has almost everything you need if you forget something. We're going to keep this campground in mind for future camping trips even if we're still traveling from the Puget Sound area.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
