Due to fires near by we had to change our plans and we arrived 5 days earlier than our reservation. They found us a space! The whole experience was great. So glad we took a chance they could direct us and things would work out. On Labor Day weekend mind you!

Wonderful campground and John is an awesome campground host. Too bad the reduction in forest service shows with lack of presence of forest personal. Shame on the President

Get a campsite by the water and youll never want to leave. Id suggest coming here if youre planning on going to Crater Lake. Skip Mazama Campground, this is the one you should stay at
@ShawnH5107068 · Camped on Aug 30, 2025 at Campsite #A39
What can I say? It was a very good representation of Diamond Lak :) Campground is nice, big, busy, and well maintained.
@EdwardL5038090 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #M8
Clean camp sites. Great views and access to the lake. If you have a way to go out on the lake, take it with you. Best fishing is in deepest parts of lake where water is coldest. Rangers were great. Happy Camping.

We had a great stay at Diamond Lake!
@LauraD1350391 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #A15
lovely campground with plenty of space between sites. nice mix of sun and shade in the sites! shower room was a nice bonus but on the mens side, all the temperature controls had been removed! for such a large place, it did not feel crowded or busy though it was full.
@MadisonB522016 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #F4
Beautiful location, good amenities. the potable water wasnt working close to our site so we had to drive back to the entrance when we needed water.
@JessicaC404794 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #E9
Beautiful campground! Great biking trails, wildflowers in the campground, quiet and spread out, bats eating off the lake at night, otters in the lake, and amazing sunsets. We will have to go back. The only problem was the bathrooms being a bit spread out, but having showers was great.
@KaylaS7171066 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025
We had a great time!
@MadisonR857328 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #H47
bought 3 campsites for a family reunion thinking they would be close together. Unfortunately, they were distanced apart from each other so instead 2 campsites were more used for parking and 1 we put all tents and the trailer at. Overall, good for family time just wish there was a better map to plan events in the future.
@MythriP11FC3B3 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #M12
Awesome campground! Finding your lot is easy, even at night, and the lots are big. Good bathroom facilities that were neat and close by to all campgrounds. Didnt try showers but saw that was a facility offered. Views of Diamond lake were stunning. Definitely stay here if you can!
@Katherine16020 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #L4
This was a great campground with exceptionally clean bathrooms/showers and hot water. There was plenty of space between campsites and if youre able to get a spot on the lake, the views are beautiful. We didnt interact with the camp hosts, but they seemed well set-up and had WiFi access available. The only struggle with the campground was trying to find a place to clean dishes. Some people were washing in the bathrooms sink (again, great hot water), but I wish there was a designated site for that task. If there was, I didnt see it.
@JenniferU51258 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #K34
Great camp site! Large, spacious, and a great distance away from nearby sites. Centrally located to both the bathroom and water refill. Beautiful views right on the water. Based on the other reviews we were super nervous about mosquitos but my husband and I only got bit once and it was during a trip to the bathroom (not even at our site). We definitely would come back again! (We even had someone stop at our site and make a note to try and book it their next trip). The only consideration for a group booking is portions of the site are sloped so if you have a party member with limited mobility, you may want to find a more level ground.
@CarmaDFC495519 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #K31
We love Diamond Lake and the campground! hot showers, amazing sunsets on Mt Baily, SUP, Hiking, Biking, and running path.
@CecilCBEEB27A1 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #D8
Easy to get reservations most of the time The park, camping spots, restrooms and fish cleaning houses are always kept clean very reasonable rates
@CathyW5299700 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #F4
Diamond Lake Campground as beautiful as ever. Campsites were clean and restrooms in our area was kept very clean. The showers in the North end were hot and amazing water pressure. So many amazing hikes in the area, waterfalls and other lakes to visit. I would recommend though before you visit, you contact the Umpqua Forest headquarters to get brochures and info as the campground entrance station and visitor center were open only 4 days a week.
@GregS1457823 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #G32
restrooms near campsite were down andhave been for awhile G-32
@EmilyS1613279 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #H21
Diamond Lake campground is always nice. It's large and can feel crowded , some sites are close to the main road. The restrooms are camping condition, but have flush toilets. The views are lovely, lake is relatively clean. Nice place for kids or to relax or ride around the lake on a paved path. You can even rent a boat at the resort. This is a great natural lake.
@EdwardL5038090 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #K3
Had the perfect time
@JannekeWECE344 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #M1
Lovely widespread campground! We were in site M001 with access to the lake in only a few steps. Perfect spot to watch the sunset and enjoy the lake. Make sure to bring chairs to do so. Close to the boat ramp.
@MichaelB762699 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #K23
We reserved two campsites K23 and K26. According to the map they were opposite each other. In fact they were offset from each other by more than one campsite in-between. I hope that can be fixed for future campers that are camping with two families. The other problem we had was that it was not indicated that two level parking places is impossible in one campsite, at least in Loop K. We will be looking for more detailed information next time and hope we don't make that mistake again.

Overall I thought the campground was pretty good. Planning ahead of time was challenging though, as there are zero images of the campsites so no clue what they actually look like or how far apart they really are. Our Scout group ended up getting 5 sites but one of them was QUITE FAR from the others, as the map is NOT to scale. Also, all sites were on a slope making tenting for the Scouts difficult, but we figured something out. Providing photos of the campsites at the time of booking would have helped enormously. The campsite itself was good. TP didn't run out and the bathrooms were decent, although there is NO SOAP in the bathroom so plan ahead every time you use it. Water locations were plentiful, but there were not enough dump stations. I would've expected one dump station next to each water location but the nearest dump was many many campsites away from us. Maybe something for a future improvement.We really liked the showers, lake access, and everyone we met. The Camp Hosts were amazing. The staff was very helpful, including the volunteers at the visitor center. We also used the Amphitheater for our finale campfire program and it was perfect. We would definitely go back.

You really need to invest some resources in fixing the water issues. Bathrooms and potable water within the campground is scarce.

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.
