HEATHER REILLY
Good location to Crater Lake. Our site backing to the creek fairly level with all hook ups. Bathrooms so-so. Quiet. Had some issues with trying to check in early when many spots were vacant, but owner eventually worked with us to get us settled. Would stay here again if going to Crater Lake

This place is beautiful! I booked a cabin to surprise a high school friend who was visiting me. She was really surprised lol. The cabin was clean, comfy, and well stocked. We checked in upon arrival with Nicole and she took the best care of us and was VERY informative about the entire property, even suggesting areas on the property we might want to check out. They are also pet friendly!! I brought my mini dachshund and she had the best time ever! She was also very welcomed by Nicole with a treat from the jar on her counter. Very enjoyable and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

A great find! Being right by the highway there is the noise of that, but the grounds themselves are so sweet, with the creek and the path! I would stay here again. We stayed in a Glamp and it was a great experience! Bring groceries: there’s not a grocery store close by. We used the grill behind their general Store/check in - and it was sweet to make dinner. They even have a pizza oven. Great place to play guitar and make friends!!

It's great location to travel. Near Crater Lake, other lakes and waterfalls. It's like a camp, only instead of tents - not luxurious, but quite decent cabins. We arrived there an hour and a half before check-in time. It was 104 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Our cabin was ready, but the girl said YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 3:00 PM." They didn't offer us water 😒. I don't know if this can be considered friendly. On top of that, there was no electricity, no water, no air conditioning, and no fans in the evening. Nevertheless, we spent 3 nights there and enjoyed exploring everything around - lakes, waterfalls, mountains.

We arrived at Crater Lake Resort after 17 hours of travel, and I have to admit that I wasn’t particularly excited about my reservation in a glamping tent… but it was actually awesome. My daughter and I stayed in Glamping Tent #1 - the beds were comfortable, there were extra blankets and pillows, and the tent was super clean. We slept like babies. Our tent was right on the creek, and it had a fire pit and picnic table. We ate our meals to the sound of the breeze in the trees and water flowing by. There was a parking area about 20 feet away, so that was convenient - but also nice that the cars weren’t right on top of our campsite. The staff members working the office/store were gracious and helpful, the bathrooms were spotless, the grounds were we well-kept, and the other patrons were quiet. It was perfect!
