Great location and beautiful view of the mountains. Camp sites were fine. Each just had a parking spot and a picnic table. The bathrooms were also well maintained / decently clean for being just toilets like a portapotty. Mosquitos were pretty bad. Like 6-7 out of 10. They would swarm you within seconds. Definitely prepare to wear protective clothing and hide in your tent if needed

Great campground. Spots are well maintained with plenty of flat ground for tents. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked with TP

The mosquitoes were unreal... other than that the camp bathroom was pretty clean and the area seems well kept with trash bins available. The water is very shallow extremely far from shore and the lake has a 10 mph limit for boats. Biggest problem was fish carcasses along the stagnant pools where people were cleaning fish and tossing the head and guts back in the water. One alcove had at least 10 fish heads within 30 feet of shoreline and the bugs were loving it.

What a great campground! Quiet and plenty of firewood around. A3 is a perfect site even though it's close to a restroom, it's not offensively close at all. Very clean. Had a potable H2O spigot just behind us and a short walk to the lake. Bug spray worked great at keeping the mosquitos away. We took the time to look at other campgrounds while we were there and Broken Arrow has showers, very nice and very clean. May want to take some cash as there is a donation box in front of the showers, but they're free. Incredibly cool camp hosts at these sites, helpful and friendly.

I actually love this campground. I have been going here for many years. If you are willing to put up with the monster mosquitoes, the occasional large midge hatch then its great. There is great fishing. But!, can be great one day and terrible the next. Lots of other things to do like hiking, biking, kayaking. Great views from the campground. I am currently giving it threes stars because the campground has become a hectic scene with several overnight campers coming and going with to many of them completely void of campground etiquette. From leaving generators on for all day to dogs constantly barking and just the extra traffic coming and going. Most people at a fishing lake are just trying to relax and get away from the sounds of the city. This has been harder to do the last few years. I also noticed to many camp sites reserved over several days with no one ever showing up. This is just inconsiderate. Don't get me wrong. I think it's great so many new people are going outdoors but it would be nice if they were more considerate of others.

The campsite is great, the only downside is no showers. That being said, you are able to use the showers at the other campgrounds around the lake, its just not as convenient.

Love this place, so beautiful, peaceful hiking the lake path is lush and green, and run by a charming lady host.

Great campground. A large one, but laid out so well you would never know it. Large camp sites (we easily fit 4 tents on ours), vault toilets and potable water spigots available. Diamond lake is beautiful and warm for its size, and Crater Lake is an easy drive from there. We didn't realize how many great, paved bike trails there would be, so we didn't bring bikes. We will certainly go back, so next time we will bring them! Sadly we had to leave early due to the nearby fires/smoke, but had a wonderful time when the air quality was good.

Loved it! Easy access to the lake and plenty of activities to do. Worth the long distance drive to get to for those who may be travelling from afar. We took the time to explore area's with in a 10 mile radius, such as Lemolo Lake dam, Cinnamon Butte to name a few.

Beautiful and spacious campground. At such close proximity to the lake and Thielsen peak.
