Park Overview
The Crater Lake RV Park is a great place to have a forest camping experience but still have the convenience of your RV. Our Park is modeled after US Forest Service campgrounds, yet is designed for Big Rigs with all the modern conveniences and deep, widely spaced sites among the mature pine, fir and cedar trees. It’s always cool and quiet at night for great sleeping! The absolute best base-camp for the Crater Lake National Park and the abundance of awesome attractions unknown to most vistors coming to the area for the first time!
Organized Groups or RV Clubs are welcome at the Crater Lake RV Park. We try to arrange group members around our group fire circle area which can accommodate social get togethers, camp fires, pot lucks, group meetings, etc.
Most indivual RV sites have specially designated areas for use with our firepits. Fire safety is a priority at the Crater Lake RV Park. We kept the trees and have pine needles on the ground to control the pumice dust, so fires are only allowed in our firepits with our well-seasoned wood. Oregon’s policy is “Buy it where you burn it!” and a moderately priced big bundle of firewood, cut and split by us, is enough for 2-3 nights of nice ambiance fires. Because of fire danger, smoking is only permitted in or beside your rig and cigarette butts on the ground in the Park or on the trail are cause for eviction. For the safety of everyone, please be fire aware.
In the summer season, unless reserved for an organized group, Saturday nights are Park campfire nights! We provide a great campfire experience for all of our guests to enjoy at our center fire circle by the antique chuckwagon and our rustic theater. Come roast hot dogs and/or marshmallows, make a smore and have some lemonade while you enjoy the musical entertainment … all on us!
Calling all Fisherman! The first dam on the upper Rogue River is just a 2-minute walk on the trail from your rig. There you can catch brown trout and rainbow trout either just for fun or for that night’s dinner! Within short drives, there are more fishing spots than can be counted, as well as a huge near by lake and salmon fishing just below it.
While families with children are welcome, our Park is not designed for “extremely active children” (i.e. no playgrounds). Therefore, well-behaved children with responsible parents can enjoy our Park along with the Guests without children. Though we have no play area, many children do enjoy riding their bikes on our roads around the Park as well as enjoying the campfire activities mentioned above. For the safety of both children and pets (mentioned below) as well as everyone else, we strictly enforce a 5-mph speed limit on vehicles … no exceptions!
Well behaved (non-aggressive) dogs are welcome with responsible owners! We do require that dogs be kept leashed for their safety and the safety of others. Dog owners please remember to pick up after your pet both in the Park and on the trails.
