Thieslen View is the Best! Spacious campsites with good access to the lakefront for swimming with a sandy bottom. There was plenty of small wood on the forest floor, we didn't have to buy or bring any for our nightly fires. The Diamond lake bike loop had easy access from the campground and provided a fun day trip to the resort/store. Was a great base camp for a day trip to Crater lake, waterfall hikes down Hwy 138 or nearby mountain hikes, the fishing was easy and the ones we caught we big and fought really well. The pit toilets were kept clean and well stocked with TP.

Best campground in Oregon! I always look forward to going there every July. I really enjoy fishing at Diamond Lake, the resort is clean and accessible, and the lake is fantastic for swimming.

I like the location but would have like to have had a sink or shower. Other than that everything was great

@GregS1457823 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #A21

very few insects for this time of year

@RobbyT0F01042C · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #A6

Great campsite.Quiet campsite.Clean bathrooms.Great views.Only issue was mosquitoes everywhere out in force

@JoanH4402928 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #B4

Beautiful views. The trail around the lake is pretty and easy. Make sure you bring mosquitoes repellent.

@KayV9AC0B9888A · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #10

Thielsen View Campground is a truly beautiful campground on the shores of Diamond Lake. It's near Crater Lake National Park, and the drive around the lake is great. On the down-side, there are no hook-ups for RVs, and a total absence of garbage bins. Mosquitos are legion, so don't forget your Deep Woods Off!

@albertmDB30199 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #18

Generators running all day long, dogs left alone to bark and whine without supervision. Not the camping experience we expected. If people want to run a generator so they can stay in the RV and play vidio games why not just stay home in my opinion. If your looking for a quiet stay to enjoy nature this camp ground is NOT what you are looking for.

@JoeS9925475 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #B17

Great place to stay for fishing Diamond Lake and for biking and hiking

@DavidM9841724 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #13

Was sad that we had to wait 2 hours for the campground to open on the 19th, but other than that we had the best campground there and the fishing was excellent! Love that place!

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #B6

Quiet, out of the way. Outstanding scenery. Clean campground. Plenty of room between sites, yet close enough for friends to get together. Friendly camp hosts. We always enjoy our stay here.

@DonnaP3046858 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #B12

We have utilized this (once) beautiful campground many times over the years. Our past trip (August 2024) was a real disappointment. Trees had been cut down or had fallen with very little cleanup at the lakeside. We kayak, bike, and hike and the shoreline provided very little access to the campground due to the trees left. Hopefully next year when we visit, there will be much clean up done. In addition, we thought we were lucky to find a camp spot in August and quickly reserved it, but when we got there, about 80% of the park was empty through the entire summer weekend with reserve signs at each and no occupants. Why can't this system be improved? We could have had any other campsite because they are not updated from the online environment. A new system for cancelations is definitely needed.

@RogerB3749935 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #6

We love to come here. The campgound is quiet and well maintained. I like to fish from my kayak and this is a good place for that. The lake is usually windy in the afternoons, but the mornings are typically calm which makes for good kayaking. It's a very popular campground so plan on making a reservation early in the year.

@LaminT45BBEF97 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #7

The Good: Excellent location with a great view of Mt. Thielsen and incredible proximity to Diamond Lake. Very well maintained campground with easy to navigate routes, a fair a mount of trench bathrooms, and plenty of shade from the trees. The campsites are well spaced and allow for interaction with neighbors while still maintaining your privacy. Each campsite could easily accommodate up to three tents.The Bad: Mosquitos, mosquitos, mosquitos!!! The amount of insects and mosquitos specifically is almost unbearable. Myself and my partner were littered with bites even after using the strongest repellent (98.11% Deet) that we could buy. There are also an innumerable amount of gnats. The site lacks showers facilities as well.Verdict: I would choose Diamond Lake or Broken Arrow campground if I were to return to this area.

@KylaBFE3A6C1AD · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #B19

Camp host was awesome and its a great area but we wont be back. We could barely stand to be outside due to the mosquitoes. We had no idea they would be so bad. I counted 30 welts on my legs and I had long pants on. Our dog got bit too and had three bumps on her face. We had all the mosquito repellents activated as well. If you go, make sure to bring a mosquito net!

@GregS1457823 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #B2

my favorite place in the cascades, noticed a lot of empty camp sites with reserved signs.

@jimm7796384 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #1

poor opening day

@TheoA51B9139F6 · Camped on Sep 2, 2023 at Campsite #8

As others have said, no camp host. However, location was gorgeous and we had a wonderful time. Easy to walk from loop c to the lake shore. Close to crater lake. Vault toilets were almost completely full at the time so hopefully they empty them soon.

@MichaelF110976 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #B11

Great Diamond lake cg - hiker so easy access to both thielsen and Bailey. Quiet, mostly. Too many generators only downside

@TammyH7586506 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #A9

The sites in the A loop were well spaced with privacy and great Lake access. The view is incredible and just a short drive to Crater Lake. Cell reception was spotty, it worked lakeside but not always in our campsite. The host was great, bathrooms were clean and the lodge close by was nice for restocking ice and drinks. There is a ton of wood around that was dry and easy to collect for fires. A bear that came through at night and knocked over the trash, but didn't bother people at all.

@KarenW6722333 · Camped on Aug 12, 2023 at Campsite #19

Attended a wedding in the area so I reserved a spot here for the night about 6 wk in advance. It was the last spot available so I wasnt expecting an ideal site. I was delighted to find a beautiful, private spot with fire ring and picnic table, near enough (but not too close) to the restroom and right across from the lake. Had a small path from my site to the shore and was able to take my chair and enjoy the sunrise there. Fellow campers were respectful of noise and curfews. Only thing to be aware of is the ground squirrels. They are bold and they are everywhere. I had one climb up under the hood in the morning but since it was so early I couldnt yell or bang on the car to get him to leave! He was eventually convinced it was in his best interest to move on. A closer inspection of the site revealed many burrows, so do be sure and bring food inside your vehicle. No electricity at site. Restroom is just a toilet (no sink) and there are no showers. I wasnt bothered by bugs. There were some bees at the shore, but they were doing their bee thing in the plants and not bothering anyone. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

@DebBA91389CC76 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #A3

The camp host was very helpful. Barking dogs were annoying.

@MadisonAF603FB · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #B7

Beautiful view and very quiet. The bugs were out and about, but if you are into deep woods camping, this is the place for you. We stopped for just one night and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Vault bathrooms were clean. No cell service.

@RichardW654682 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #A15

Good experience @ TV Cmpgnd. Dusty but nicely spaced sites.

@ThomasG8527799 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #17

Diamond Lake is a beautiful setting and the campground provides sufficient separation between the sites to allow campers to enjoy the peace and calm that is created by the lake's surroundings. Easy access to Crater Lake National Park also affords a number of memorable sights and activities. Overall, ours was a wonderful experience.However, there were a few detracting issues. First, mosquitos were prevalent during much of the day. I highly recommend a screen house/tent for your leisure time outside. Second, the campground was without a host during our stay. The bathrooms were serviced once during the five days we stayed at the campground. Campers were taking their own provisions to the restroom after the stocked toilet paper ran out on our second night. My family and I camp every year, this is the first time we have ever stayed at a National Forest campground where it was not, at least minimally, serviced by staff on a daily basis. Disappointing.

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.
