Diamond Lake Campground

The Diamond Lake Campground, located along the eastern shore of Diamond Lake in Oregon’s Umpqua National Forest, offers campers a dynamic mix of breathtaking mountain views, plentiful recreational activities, and convenient access to nearby attractions. With Mount Bailey and Mount Thielsen dominating the skyline, this large campground provides a memorable experience for nature enthusiasts seeking serene lakefront settings and outdoor adventure.

The campground features 238 sites tailored for tents, RVs, and trailers, with designated lakeside, pull-through, and more secluded inshore options. Each site includes picnic tables, fire pits, and access to drinking water, flush toilets, and showers. An 11-mile paved trail encircles the lake, ideal for biking or walking, while boat ramps, fish-cleaning stations, and two amphitheaters cater to anglers and families. The well-stocked waters of Diamond Lake attract anglers year-round, and the surrounding trails invite hikers to explore the pristine wilderness. Seasonal interpretive programs add enriching educational opportunities during summer weekends.

Just a short drive from Crater Lake National Park, the only national park in Oregon, Diamond Lake Campground makes an ideal base for extended vacations or weekend getaways. With easy access to the Pacific Crest Trail and nearby waterfalls such as Watson Falls, campers can explore a wealth of natural wonders, all within 30 minutes. A nearby resort complements the campground with dining, shopping, and equipment rentals, combining rustic charm with modern convenience.
