Spacious campsites nestled next to Diamond Lake. Our site (A20) was close enough to a water spigot and the pit toilet. We brought firewood but there was some to be found around the campsite. Mosquitoes were bad when we visited at the end of July.

I can't say enough about Thielsen View. My site was 17 on the C loop, and the view of Diamond Lake and Mt. Thielsen was second to none. I could see the mountain and lake from my picnic table. The sites are ver nice, with big fire pits, and at least a 30' buffer between sites. The camp was full, and I could see and hear all of my neighbors, but barely. I still felt isolated, and not encroached upon by any neighbors. There was some free wood available, but not small pieces or kindling. Crater Lake is less than 30 minutes away. There are hiking/biking trails right across the street. This place was great. 10/10 wish I was still there.

Site was clean, bathrooms were stocked and water on site. Most of my camping neighbors were friendly and site respectful. Not sure I would swim in this lake but lots of people boating.

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.
