Crater Lake National Park

RVing is a fantastic recreational activity when visiting Crater Lake National Park, along with incredible hiking, unlimited and unlicensed legal fishing, swimming, and boating. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the country, the second deepest in North America, and the ninth deepest in the world. The Crater Lake National Park encompasses 183,225 acres of incredibly beautiful, scenic land in Oregon, making it one of the most popular attractions for outdoor lovers on the entire planet.

Popular Attractions at Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake
Crater Lake is a caldera lake in the National Park and is the inarguably the biggest draw within the park. It is famous for its deep blue color and water clarity, making for great fishing, swimming, boating, picturesque hikes, and photography. There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake but the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at such a rate that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years. Many visitors suggest putting two days aside for your trip to Crater Lake, one day for the rim and another day for the lake itself. Make sure to plan ahead if you wish to use lodging inside the park and if you want to take lake boat tours, all of which we highly recommend.
Rim Drive
Rim Drive is a scenic highway in the National Park and is a 33-mile loop that follows the caldera rim around Crater Lake. Because of its unique engineering and the surrounding park landscape, the drive was listed as a historic on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The drive must be made clockwise in your RV since areas of it are one-way only. You will want to stop frequently to enjoy the changing landscape and simply view the lake and its astounding blue water. There are two access points, one in the South at the park headquarters in the Munson Valley Historic District, the other is the park’s North entrance which is nine miles North of the Rim Drive junction across an area known as the Pumice Desert. This is an absolute must of a drive if there ever was one.
Wizard Island
Wizard Island is a volcanic cinder cone which forms an island at the West end of Crater Lake. The top of the island reaches 6,933 feet above sea level and about 755 feet above the average surface of the lake. The cone is capped by a volcanic crater about 500 feet wide and 100 feet deep, which is called “the Witches Cauldron” by Will G. Steel in 1885, who gave Wizard Island its name. Take the boat tour on the lake that drops passengers off at Wizard Island for about 5 hours and allows you to explore the magnificent piece of land. The island allows you to get a 360-degree panorama view of the lake, making it one of the best opportunities for photography in the entire state.
Campgrounds at Crater Lake National Park
Mazama Village Campground
Located just seven miles from the rim of Crater Lake just inside the South entrance gate of Crater Lake National Park.

Diamond Lake RV Park
The Diamond Lake RV Park is located a half-hour North of Crater Lake and right outside of Crater Lake National Park. It is a Good Sam Certified campground and one of the absolute highest rater RV parks in the state of Oregon. It is a very conveniently located campground for those exploring the National Park and continues to be a favorite location for RV travelers. The park has 100 RV sites and all of them are full hookup sites. The amenities at Diamond Lake include: wifi, Diamond Lake, boating, a marina, docks, pets are welcome, handicap access, an emergency phone, restrooms, fire rings, laundry, RV supplies, firewood, ice, discounts, and more.
