The sites in the A loop were well spaced with privacy and great Lake access. The view is incredible and just a short drive to Crater Lake. Cell reception was spotty, it worked lakeside but not always in our campsite. The host was great, bathrooms were clean and the lodge close by was nice for restocking ice and drinks. There is a ton of wood around that was dry and easy to collect for fires. A bear that came through at night and knocked over the trash, but didn't bother people at all.

Attended a wedding in the area so I reserved a spot here for the night about 6 wk in advance. It was the last spot available so I wasnβt expecting an ideal site. I was delighted to find a beautiful, private spot with fire ring and picnic table, near enough (but not too close) to the restroom and right across from the lake. Had a small path from my site to the shore and was able to take my chair and enjoy the sunrise there. Fellow campers were respectful of noise and curfews. Only thing to be aware of is the ground squirrels. They are bold and they are everywhere. I had one climb up under the hood in the morning but since it was so early I couldnβt yell or bang on the car to get him to leave! He was eventually convinced it was in his best interest to move on. A closer inspection of the site revealed many burrows, so do be sure and bring food inside your vehicle.
No electricity at site. Restroom is just a toilet (no sink) and there are no showers. I wasnβt bothered by bugs. There were some bees at the shore, but they were doing their bee thing in the plants and not bothering anyone. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

The camp host was very helpful. Barking dogs were annoying.

Beautiful view and very quiet. The bugs were out and about, but if you are into deep woods camping, this is the place for you. We stopped for just one night and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Vault bathrooms were clean. No cell service.
