Little Crater Lake is a pond, but a beautiful, magical pond! and now I can say my feet have trekked the PCT trail, okay only a couple of miles, but it was still kind of exciting. It also seems to be a jump off spot for the PCT, and kayak outfitters come ripping through the cg by the vanload and park in spaces that are about halfway around the cg. Water is from a hand pump before you enter the cg. Kind of a pain for solo's, but I managed. I made the mistake of taking the route from Detroit Lake, which involved 20-30 miles of gravel, some not so ok, two traffic lights on the gravel roads because it was one lane, and one work crew stop, and no service so a little scarey to turn around. Also there is no view of Mt. Hood from the cg, but I am not sure if that was because of geography or just trees. This is a lovely campground and this spot is about as private as they get, but also spacious. I chose this cg over Timothy because it's not by water and thought it would be quieter. And it would have been were it not for the 47,000 children that were everywhere and screaming screaming at the top of their lungs for hours on end. I don't get it. I was a kid. I went camping and did stuff and had fun. But that crap would not have been allowed back then, either by hosts or by parents. To be fair to the kids, the parents were also loud. I could not even listen to a podcast at my normal listening level at 9pm in my SUV! Thankfully a severe storm rolled in the next night and shut them up and some even left.

Lovely little campground, sites pretty well separated, in a woodsy area. There’s only one water source, close to the entrance. Composting toilets were clean. Short walk to Little Crater Lake, which is beautiful deep blue, more of a small pond than a lake, and a mile or so walk (partly on the Pacific Crest Trail) to Timothy lake, where you can fish or swim (though too cold for swimming this week).
