Lost Creek Campground
Lost Creek Campground, operated by the National Park Service, is a small, tents-only campground located on the road to Pinnacles Overlook, just three miles from Crater Lake’s rim. Its 16 sites give you an ideal place to relax and spend the night as you hike, swim, or fish Crater Lake National Park. Each campsite features a picnic table, a fire ring with a grill, and a bear-resistant food locker. You will need to bring your own water. Generators are not allowed. Pets are permitted, with restrictions. For more information regarding campground and permits please visit the National Park Service.
Camp in the Backcountry
Crater Lake National Park’s rugged volcanic landscape brings you amazing possibilities for backcountry wilderness explorations. In the summer, with a permit, you can camp at the park’s five designated backcountry campsites—Bybee Creek, Dutton Creek, Grouse Hill, Lightning Springs, and Red Cone Springs. Dispersed camping is also allowed with a permit.
In winter, you can camp along the rim with a permit. You can explore open slopes, dense forests, and breathtaking views while skiing or snowshoeing on the park’s trails and unplowed roads.
Thirty-three miles of the Pacific Crest Trail pass through the park, offering views of the mountains and via an alternate trail, spectacular vistas of the lake.
