Crater Lake RV Park Review

Thanks so much to Crater Lake RV Park and its staff for a most excellent week-long stay! The hospitality and atmosphere there are truly something that make it a place I'd want to return to experience. From the helpful staff initially backing me into my wooded, semi-secluded and clean, full-hookup site to the manicured grounds with fountains and statues -- even a wonderful model train setup on the proprietors' property, and then the Saturday night music and BBQ gathering topped off why Crater Lake RV Park will certainly leave most everyone with a desire to come back!

Friendly folks,pine Forrest setting,full hook ups,located easy days drive to many scenic places including Crater Lake NP.

Very nice resort. Staff are very friendly and accomodating. Bathrooms could be updated and water had a mineral smell. Would come back and stay again.

The whole staff at Crater Lake RV Park are helpful and awesome. They had maps and recommendations around the area drawn out for us to explore. Park is well kept and I really enjoyed our time there even during winter when things are a little slow. Definitely recommend this place and will revisit when we comeback to Crater Lake.

If you go in the rest area on the way up there is no exit you have to turn around in the parking lot not a lot of room. We were towing a car on a dolly you can't safely back it up without damage so we had to unload the car in order to turn around then re load the car and it was dark not good

Beautiful area. Be warned; if you have a large rv, the road to this RV park is extremely frightening.

Great little rv park. Long sites but alittle narrow and tight to neighbors but worked. The park staff was super got us in in short notice. They are very nice. Will certainly return here. No park is a five but this one is a 4 3/4.

Needs to add a bathroom or two. Only one tolit for the ladies and one for men.

Super friendly staff. They even invited my family to their Thanksgiving Dinner. When it snowed they had staff cleaning the drive consistently. So many nice walking trails it's hard to not get lost in the beautiful scenery. Being a young couple with a RV sometimes you feel like all the oldest veteran RV owners are judging you. But here...Its judgment free.

Fantastic RV park, I highly recommend staying here and will definitely return myself. The owner lives on site and so is personally very invested in the park and making it the best place to stay. The camp hosts are all very friendly and helpful, between the host and owner they've created a map of recommendations of things to do and see in the area besides Crater Lake. I've been at many different RV parks, this was by far one of the best yet.

Full hook-ups for a good price near Crater Lake.

Sites/setting:
Sites are very narrow with little outdoor living space.

Many sites are partially separated by trees/wood patches. Gravel pads, ours was fairly level.

Many long term residents. Some of which do not seem to have any standards/regulations set that they need to follow. Tarps were used to cover their campers, piles of other storage items, 4-wheelers, etc. One resident had at least 6 bags of trash outside their camper during our entire 3-night stay. One of these residents was our next door neighbor, so we had a nice view of a pile of junk covered by tarps (see picture).

Amenities/Utilities:
All sites have picnic tables. You can have a fire ring delivered to your site with wood for $10.50; HOWEVER, make sure you have a site that they allow fires. There are about 5 sites that you cannot have a fire (including ours- site 19)

WiFi was available, but i could only get it to work (slowly) when I was outside. I did not have cell service while there either.

Prospect was only a mile away and had a gas station (with diesel opened 8am-8pm), a small grocery/country store, and a couple restaurants.

I did not see a laundry facility, but I may have missed it.

No dog park or doggie bags provided.

Activities:
There is access to the river, but we didn t have a chance to check it out.

It took us about 45 minutes to get to Crater Lake s south entrance and a little over an hour to get to the north side.

Natural Bridge was only about 10 minutes away.

No military discount offered.

My rating was based on the site we were given and our experience there. I honestly think we got a bum spot and could have enjoyed our stay more in a different site.

Well kept sites.very good Wi-Fi. No phone services but you can use Wi-Fi. Very friendly and helpful staff.

A simple RV park with full hook ups in beautiful country. The management was wonderful!!

Our spot isn't as private as others. Clean bathrooms and VERY friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic RV park several hosts to help you out if you need anything. Cant wait to return again. Only a few miles outside of Crater National park and only 5 minutes from the only store and gas in the area.

Great place, walking trails and fishing right there.

Quiet, good WiFi and clean showers. Close to many attractions.
Can't go wrong.

Love this place!! The lots were all with trees. There are great trails and fishing spots right off the grounds. It is a beautiful area.

Great rv camp, fast Wi-Fi and seems to have dish hook ups however not a ton of space for kids and not much to do near by. No place for road bike riding.

The hosts were so friendly. Everything was very clean. My kids enjoyed the paths from the park down to the river. There were puddles on the rocks where we spent much time finding tadpoles. We weren t there on the weekend, but it sounded like they had a community fire and live music. Sad to miss that

The camp hosts were friendly and helpful, and the park was beautiful forest with a nearby river and lake with lots of walking trails.

Super nice camp hosts and a really nice rv park. Just had a cozy feel to it. The spots are huge and can easily accommodate a 40' trailer and a full size truck.

If you can get down to the lake....1 mile with switch backs...and 11 miles back up..you can catch all the trout & salmon you want.You don't need A licence. They encourage it..

Very friendly and helpful people. Loved the location and service. They had trials and river in walkable distance from the site. Very clean bathrooms incase needed. Wifi connection was good even with multiple devices.

Facilities were clean, if a little dated (1 toilet stall and 2 showers in a mobile trailer set up). The hosts were great! They had homemade muffins, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, etc on Saturday morning and even brought in a guitarist for a campfire/smores/hot dogs get together that night. It was so nice! The sites are in the trees and even though you're close to the highway, it's hardly noticeable. There was an occasional fecal smell coming from somewhere. But the trails that lead down to the Rogue are nice and we rode our bicycles into Prospect and saw some waterfalls and the Avenue of Boulders was worth it!

We stopped here twice just to dump our sewage. Not too pricey for that, $6. Friendly people.

This place has it All!! Live music on Saturdays, campfires,and places to hike, bike, or stay! Bring the kids, grandkids, pets... All are welcomed!! They have wifi, books to borrow, dvds to borrow as well!! A little direct TV if you are into that for your vacation!! We felt welcome from the moment we arrived!! Everyone is So friendly and helpful!! I wish we could've stayed longer! This place is centrally located to loads of waterfalls,trails, fishing, and National Parks!! They update you daily on weather and places to see!! Weather you have a tent, an RV, or, a motorhome, they will do their best to accomidate you!! Reservations are a Must if you want to make sure they have the spot you need!!

Great park we stayed here in the summer perfect for seeing crater lake very friendly staff clean and peaceful no problem getting my 40 foot motorhome and mini on the site

Park was wonderful, people very friendly and helpful. Stayed 2 months and loved it.

Good jumping off point for sightseeing. Clean facilities and friendly staff

Everything you need and a short drive to Crater Lake.

Pro
Friendly staff, warm showers, clean barhrooms, laundromat a half mile away.

Con
WiFi is barely functional.

30 min from the lake, WiFi connected and had a baseline speed for like email. Small park, no amenities like playground or pool. One shower per gender on our side. Laundry was locked except when office open but Office never opened. After hours number was answered and they got us a fire ring that was missing. We decided to leave a day early and before checkout time and they would not refund that nights payment. I probably would try somewhere else next time but not a bad choice.

This area is where i grew up . Crater lake.rv park is the perfect place to stay while exploring all the natural beauty that this area has to offer not far from crater lake next to a small town Prospect and the rouge river is close enough you can hear it what i really like about this rv park is you feel like your in the woods it is thick with trees but some city folks might have a hard time getting use the peace and quiet and tranquility that this rv park has to offer I highly recommend this place im am currently staying here now and tomorrow will take some pictures to add

I am a retired Police Officer...per my wife, I'm critical of everything and damn near everyone. But...you will NOT read a negative word with my review of Crater Lake RV Park. Let me throw some names out there before I forget them: Pam Lee, Terry, Dennis, Cathy, Sylvia, and Linda. These are the folks who went out of their way each and every day to make our 2 day stay so memorable. The park is well situated. It is a visually enjoyable half hour ride from Crater lake and a short ride from the town of Prospect where there is a very cool bubbling waterfall over large boulders. OK, if I had to find something to complain about, maybe the bathroom/showers. They could use a bit of work, but...the staff and cleanliness of this RV park far makes up for the bathrooms. Here's what I really wanna say though. We arrived the day before the eclipse. I was told the owner, who lives right on the property in a beautiful little cottage on your left as you drive in, put the word out that the entire camp was invited to her lawn during the eclipse. What she didn't say was that she was gonna put out a huge breakfast spread for everyone...including champagne mimosas! Take a look at my posted photo. WHO DOES STUFF LIKE THAT??? This is my very first post for an RV park...ever!! I wanted my very first one to be a good one...this one is a great one. Thank you all for making one of our stops on my post retirement 6 week RV trip the most memorable.

Very rustic park.NO PHONE SERVICE.
Not the parks fault. Water pressure could have been better. The sites are surronded by huge pines. Great setting. The WiFi is DSL. once again, Not the parks fault. There is no fast internet available in the area. They are supposed to be getting fiber optics.

Beautiful park. Large campsites shaded by big pine trees. New bathroom and shower house building. Friendly and helpful camp hosts. We have traveled extensively with our 35 ft 5th wheel. This ranks as our favorite park.

Not a bad little campground. They try real hard which is nice. your 30 minutes from crater lake...

Its quiet and everyone is friendly. We live about 45 min away but we enjoy it all the time.

One of the best places we've stayed! Beautiful campground with nice sized sites. The wifi was pretty good, definitely better than most of the campgrounds we've been in. The park was located close to Crater Lake and dozens of gorgeous hikes with waterfalls! The bathrooms are probably the only area of opportunity but they were functional and clean. The price is very reasonable and based on your length of stay, so the longer you stay the cheaper it is!

Very attentive staff. I needed to attend an online class that extended past the check out time and they graciously let me stay a little later so I could use their wifi. Very cool day camp area behind by the dam.

I really like this place. The host were very calm and nice, unlike the other host from other parks. The area is nice, quiet, has full hook-up, they have wifi, but is not that great, a lot of space between each RV, to were you feel the privacy. Take a car becuse everything is not to a walking distance.

Very nice camping under the trees. Facilities a bit old but friendly staff...
