The space 32 was not accessible because of very bad road condition, big holes and very soft dirt.

Staff were horribly rude and refused to have conversations and help us understand the issue about parking. They were threatening fines instead of explaining the rules and it made it really hard to enjoy our trip. The facility itself is slightly worse than previous years but likely due to the lack of a camp host. Overall its physically pretty good still, just keep your head down.

I have camped at Crescent Lake a few times. Beautiful location. I was approached by the camp host, they do not reside there, they just show up, accused me of taking the sign off of the post and were quite rude about it. Their appearance was not acceptable in my opinion and the camp spots were littered with trash and unkept. Clearly no ownership from these 2, they are there to collect a paycheck. Years ago, I remember a time when camp hosts raked and cleaned up the spots when patrons pulled out. Needless to say, I was not impressed at all by the camp host or the condition of the campground.

Enjoyed local fishing & biking! (Caught some 18 inch Kokanee!!) Will probably be back.

Everything was wonderful except running out of tp in the womens bathroom.
@DianePEB2FADF3 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #9
Fun place. Clean restrooms. Bring mosquito spray.
@LillianS301781 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #7
This is a nice big campsite. We had the max number of people at our site and plenty of space. Also gets shade as well as sun. Right across from bathrooms. The bathrooms are vault toilets but still pretty clean compared to our campgrounds we have visited .
@DaynePDE016F20 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #41
Camping site itself is fine, you are very close to 39 I believe, but we really enjoyed our direct camp neighbors. Not a very flat camping space so keep that in mind.Toilets are close but not close enough to smell, and doors dont slam.Very close access to the water, but as such you hear boating the morning.Mosquitoes were out and around, but some bug spray solves that problem. Now onto why I have this site a 2 star rating this trip.Had one of the worst camping experiences of my life at this campsite. Like I said earlier, the campsite itself was good, but there was a LARGE group a couple campsites over riding side by side and quads until 2 am, blasting music, and running generators. When confronted and told to politely quiet down, they threatened to assault me, and being alone against a group of what looked like 10 VERY intoxicated individuals, I deescalated the confrontation and went back to my campsite, where they continued to be loud and otherwise uncaring of the other 50 sites in this campground. Normally I would just leave this to the camp host but there wasnt one. With no camp host on duty to turn to, it puts unneeded risk on campers, and I argue that the failure to not provide one caused this situation to get out of control.As such, just keep this in mind when you come here that some people definitely view this as the Party boating lake and as such is probably not the best place for peaceful camping.
@StephenP202589 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #27
We arrived on Monday, and left on Thursday. The campground was clean and well kept, but there was no host on duty any of the days we were there. There were numerous campsites with reserved signs, but no one in them. It would be helpful to have a host available daily to solve campsite issues and to monitor fires and noise concerns, or just to answer questions regarding campsite availability.

This CG is a joke.
@SeanK6245487 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #34
No real complaints about the campground. The annoyance came with being charged an extra vehicle fee. I use a slide in truck camper that stays on the truck. When we stay in county and state campgrounds we are not charged an additional fee for my wife's vehicle as a slide in is treated like an RV and not counted as a vehicle (nor the transportation vehicle when they stay connected). It's actually in Oregon statute as such. Additionally, received a warning for burning cut rounds as they were somehow classified as chairs. Firewood rounds were stacked all over the sites and in the bushes. Not sure how they classify as a chair. It's firewood.

Great site
@JhoannaS2E9BEB · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #36
The space I got has no proper parking space even if I made sure it says it has and its drive-in. I have a rooftop tent, so I ended up parking by the roadside. I booked for 2 nights, but I did not go back. The sad thing is there is nothing I can do to cancel the second day. Also, for the price of this campground, it should have a more decent toilet.
@katherine25017 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #35
We stayed at Crescent Lake Campground next to the lodge. The campground was great and the amenities (water spigots, toilets, wastewater depots etc..) were in good repair, clean, and easily accessible. The campground is adjacent to the lodge and theres a large pumice sand beach for recreation. The boat ramp is wide and has a large turnout which was really convenient. The lake is gorgeous and the campground was lovely!
@RachelNC72B96B · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #40
I arrived at this Campground the Monday after 4th of July weekend and it was absolutely Immaculate and the bathrooms were spotless. I love this lake and campground!!
@MattV8158D7E5D · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #27
Beautiful lakeside campground. Quiet on the weekend we visited. Clean bathrooms, spacious, good amenities. Only downside is the rustiness but hey, its central Oregon.
@SeanVB1ABF32B8 · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #14
Nice long, private spot with a fair amount of sun depending on time of day but surrounded by trees. Was able to charge with solar most of the day. Water spicket and sink water dump right next to site as well as vault toilet. If you have a trailer over 20, youll probably have to enter the wrong way to get backed in. Verizon cell service was very poor but we could get some texts in and out occasionally. If we couldn't get a waterfront site, Id take this spot again.
@SharonK3494511 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #18
Very nice campground. Lots of mosquitos though. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.
@MichaelT862538 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #41
Awesome campground. Millie, the camp host, went above and beyond. She was amazing!
@KarlH4501BF7B5 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #43
The scenery is beautiful, the lodge impressive. The people serving or attending are very pleasant. However, the place is run by Aramark, so the food is terrible and extremely over-priced. Seriously - Ive better airline food. We felt nickle-and-dimed - EVERYTHING has a 3.5% service fee. You can par $8.00 a day for WiFi, or get 30 minute a day free IF you listen to a Nissan add, for which I am sure Aramark get some compensation. One would think that for over $500/night, one could at least have free Wifi. Love the location, but would never go back
@EricaM1032592 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #26
We were able to fit comfortably with a dually F350, camper, and 24' boat. It was a little tricky pulling in and a little tricky leveling the camper, but nothing insurmountable. This campsite is truly beautiful with lake views. The "trail" down to the beach from the campsite is not for the mobility impaired, but it's not far to walk down the little road to the beach if it's a problem. We have Verizon and I had a little reception for text messages on my Pixel; my husband had none on his iphone. If you stand at the "big tree" by the steep bank, you might get some internet briefly. Bathrooms were very clean. We were surprised when we got there (Memorial Day weekend) that the camp host had not picked up all the gross baby wipes laying around, so we did. That was a disappointment, but otherwise it was a nice stay.

no thanks
@RickM3065083 · Camped on Oct 6, 2023 at Campsite #14
Very clean campground. The camp host did an excellent job of maintaining the camp even late into the season when there were very few campers.
@GaryD2260868 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #18
Excellent campground almost all sites are pull through

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
