Thieslen View is the Best! Spacious campsites with good access to the lakefront for swimming with a sandy bottom. There was plenty of small wood on the forest floor, we didn't have to buy or bring any for our nightly fires. The Diamond lake bike loop had easy access from the campground and provided a fun day trip to the resort/store. Was a great base camp for a day trip to Crater lake, waterfall hikes down Hwy 138 or nearby mountain hikes, the fishing was easy and the ones we caught we big and fought really well. The pit toilets were kept clean and well stocked with TP.

Very quiet Campground and nice stay overall. Lots to do closeby (Crater Lake, Upper Rogue River, hikes, bike trail, etc.) Thielson View itself needs attention to it's logged, downed trees on the lakeshore. Access to the water lacking over the last few years (little room for kayaks, boats, play area for kids). Many campsites showed reserved and were not utilized or opened when campers no-showed. Water from faucets was milky in appearance 😳 We have camped here many times and it appears it is not being taken care of as in the past!

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.
