Diamond Lake RV Park

Last August, when I took my Great American Eclipse trip, I went to Crater Lake National Park for the first time since I was 17.

I didn't camp in the park, but instead, stayed at Diamond Lake RV Park, which is five miles from Crater Lake's North Entrance.

During the time I was there, there were fires around Crater Lake and within a couple of miles from Diamond Lake was a firefighter camp. The area in general was smoky.

Diamond Lake RV Park is a nice campground in a forest setting with plenty of pine trees for shade. There's no amenities to speak up except for restrooms, showers and laundry facilities. But the sites are spacious with full hook-ups. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and a concrete pad. It is a short drive to Diamond Lake. However, there is no Wi-Fi service at the RV park.

Each guest is escorted to their site.

I have read that there are lots of mosquitoes at Diamond Lake RV Park, but I saw none during my stay.

The cost to camp was $39/night.

My rating: B+ (they would have scored an "A" had there were Wi-Fi and a fully stocked store available).
