About Crater Lake NP Mazama Village

Located near Crater Lake, Oregon, Crater Lake NP Mazama Village features 214 campsites in a scenic setting. This national park campground is a favorite among visitors seeking outdoor adventure and relaxation.

Nestled in the heart of Oregon's most iconic natural wonder, Crater Lake National Park's Mazama Village offers an unparalleled camping experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in some of the most breathtaking scenery the Pacific Northwest has to offer. This campground serves as the perfect basecamp for exploring one of America's most remarkable geological features, a pristine caldera lake formed nearly 8,000 years ago and surrounded by dramatic volcanic peaks and ancient forest.

The village sits at an elevation of approximately 6,000 feet, providing a cool retreat during summer months while offering genuine four-season camping opportunities. Whether you're arriving in the peak summer season or planning a shoulder-season adventure, you'll find yourself in a landscape of stunning natural contrasts, where deep blue waters meet dark volcanic rock and towering Douglas firs create a cathedral-like forest atmosphere.

Crater Lake itself is the star attraction, famous for being the deepest freshwater lake in the United States with water so pure and clear that it appears an almost impossibly vibrant shade of blue. The 33-mile Rim Drive encircles the lake, offering countless pullouts and hiking trailheads that range from easy scenic walks to more challenging backcountry adventures. Phantom Ship, a small natural island within the lake, and Wizard Island, an actual volcanic cinder cone, add to the otherworldly beauty of this destination.

The campground provides essential amenities including dump stations for convenient RV servicing, picnic tables for outdoor meals, and fire rings for gathering and warmth during cooler evenings. Clean restroom facilities and hot showers ensure comfort during your stay, while the pet-friendly policy means your furry companions can join in the adventure. The 214 available sites offer flexibility for different RV sizes and camping preferences.

This location appeals to nature enthusiasts, outdoor photographers, hiking adventurers, and anyone seeking to witness one of nature's most spectacular creations. The area attracts visitors from around the world who come to hike, photograph, kayak, and simply soak in the majesty of this volcanic landscape. Families appreciate the accessible viewpoints and shorter trails, while serious hikers tackle the challenging terrain around the rim and into the caldera basin.

I stayed 5 nights in the Mazama cabins in early September. I enjoyed my stay. The cabins were comfortable, adequately clean and fairly quiet. There is some plumbing noise but it seemed other guests were respectful to not make a lot of noise. There was no internet/cell reception in the cabin so expect to make your own entertainment when you're not out enjoying the park. Annie Creek restaurant and store are close by where there is cell/internet. The rim drive & village is a beautiful, twisty 15 minute drive. There is no daily maid service in the cabins. But there was a good supply of towels and honestly, who needs new sheets/towels daily anyway? You can ask for additional coffee pods for the in-room Keurig machine at the store if needed. Location is great and the park is the star in any event. not the lodgings.

Crater lake lodge needs more seating outside. A few rocking chairs wasn’t enough for the swarms of people visiting. It’s worth staying for the amazing views of crater lake, the walks of different levels/abilities, but the facilities are basic.

Review for the cabins - simple room, but a very cozy and comfortable bed. Slept excellently after a long day exploring Crater Lake. Great access to the lake and all sites. However, we ran out of hot water after one 10 minute shower. Not sure if we were late in the day for the hot water or it needs time to re-heat, but it was disappointing for the 2nd person after a long and dirty day.

Overall a great campground. Spacious sites with table and fire ring. Clean and well maintained restrooms. Keep in mind that while most sites are reservable but many are also first come first serve. Ive been trying to reserve spots for the bike closure for last 3 months with little success. Fortunately was able to get one first come first serve on Wed before the “ride the rim” weekend.

Fortunately was able to get one first come first serve on Wed before the “ride the rim” weekend. There is water available. A decent camp store. And also a couple decent restaurants right close to camp. Major downside is that there are still only 3 showers for 1000 campers!! Bring your solar shower.

I read all of the reviews for the cabins and had no idea what to expect. Having stayed, here is my take. Bear in mind that we were there the week after the cabins opened for summer and it could be different in the height of the busy season.

I read all of the reviews for the cabins and had no idea what to expect. Having stayed, here is my take. Bear in mind that we were there the week after the cabins opened for summer and it could be different in the height of the busy season. First off, these are cabins in a campground and as such, were just fine, maybe even really nice. If you are expecting a hotel-type experience, you should maybe stay elsewhere. I would say these are 4 star camping cabins, but maybe only a 1-1/2 star hotel. The room was clean, small, and the decor was cute. The bathroom (which was the source of many complaints) did indeed have a Motel 6 feel and the shower pan was stained with what I assume were mineral stains from the water. It was in fact clean - I wiped the bathroom floor with the bath mat after my shower to get up water splashes and it was absolutely clean. The hot water was instant, but the handle is reversed- turn it to the cold side to get hot water. That being said, the drain stopper in the bathroom sink was detached from the up down lever and we levered a plastic spoon into it to keep the stopper open. The beds were very comfortable and I slept great. No spiders, no insects of any kind. Bottom line: These are nice camping cabins, not a hotel.
