Joseph H. Stewart State Recreation Area

Camped here in off season, so obviously very quiet, but everything was very clean. No issue with first come first serve. You can hear a little road noise at night but not a big deal. Will definitely book here more!

Nice park with a shaded trail system, marina, and small store. The trails offer a peaceful walk, though they were a bit messy—covered in leaves and branches. Some areas feel dated, with old equipment stations left behind and picnic tables that are worn but still usable. It’s an average park with decent lake access, but for a paid day-use area, I expected a little more upkeep and care.

This has always been one of my favorite places to camp! Whether it is tent or RV/trailer, it's perfect. Showers with plug-ins, a lot of walking/biking trails, and the marina has some great food. The biggest disappointment is not being able to walk to the water easily from the campground, and the main swim spot is usually quite a ways away from the parking lot because of the water level, but it's still worth it. Our camp hosts in A loop were super helpful and kind. D loop is great for tent camping and has showers as well. Which are always cleaned. Great family get away! We stayed in A07

Our trip to Joseph H. Stewart State Recreation Area in a Mini-T Campervan was fantastic. The campground, located by Lost Creek Lake, offers spacious, well-maintained sites with excellent amenities. The hiking trails, including the Rogue River Trail, provided stunning views and immersive experiences. A significant benefit of this outstanding campground is its proximity to Crater Lake National Park, just about an hour's drive away—unless you stop to enjoy the many hiking opportunities along the way.

Not too far off the beaten path up to Crater Lake. It's right on the edge of Lost Creek Lake. Like a park in most areas. Green grass. Sprinklers go all day. And night. Campsites have enough space between them. Our neighbors and us were trying out our new to us camping trailers. Very clean and quiet. Good showers. Views of the lake are the best mainly from the dry hookup sites.
Walking paths surrounding the park and over to the boat landing and clubhouse.
Our dogs loved it.
