Thielsen View is one of my favorite campgrounds and is probably the absolute best place to camp if you are planning to visit crater lake. I was able to reserve just a couple weeks in advance. The view of Thielsen is spectacular, especially in the evenings. On a clear night, the stars over the lake with Thielsen in the back is amazing. Campsites and bathrooms are well kept and surprisingly well separated. The only downside is the mosquitos. The lake definitely breads them and they can be rather swarming some times of the year. But I wouldn't let that deter you from this wonderful site.

Very clean and comfortable campground. Overall good experience. My only concern is that the campground host never checked to see if I was the person who reserved the site I was in. I could have simply taken the site.
Good campground

- 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.

- 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.
