Crater Lake National Park
Campgrounds, Lodging & Food
Campgrounds
There are two developed campgrounds at Crater Lake. Mazama Campground is located near the Annie
Springs Entrance Station. Lost Creek Campground is accessed by taking East Rim Drive to the Pinnacles road. Campsites are all on a first come, first served basis. No reservations are taken. Camping opportunities are also available at several locations outside the park.
Mazama Campground: This 198 site campground is operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts.
Fresh water, flush toilets, a dump station, pay showers, and laundry facilities
are available. There are no utility hookups. Fires are permitted in designated fireplaces only. Firewood is available for purchase at the Mazama Store. Campers are allowed to collect only dead and downed wood. Mazama is open from June 11 to October 4, weather permitting.
Lost Creek Campground: A 16 site tents-only campground is operated by the National Park
Service. It normally opens in July and closes for the season in mid-September. Check at the park visitor centers for exact opening and closing dates. These sites fill by early afternoon so campers should select sites upon arriving in the park.
Food and Lodging
Food: Xanterra Parks & Resorts offers three types of dining. The Crater Lake Lodge Dining Room is located in the Crater Lake Lodge. The Lodge Dining Room is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from May 26 to October 17. The Café is located adjacent to the Gift Shop at Rim Village and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Café is open year-round with decreased hours in the winter. The Watchman Buffet is upstairs from the Café and offers a dinner buffet. Its hours are 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. from June 11 through September 12.
Lodging: Crater Lake Lodge, with 71 rooms, is open to visitors from late May to early October. Reservations are taken up to two years in advance: call (541) 830-8700.
The original lodge opened to visitors in 1915. A complete renovation was completed in the fall of 1994, with much new construction replacing the deteriorated structure, but taking the building back to the 1920s in appearance and atmosphere.
The Mazama Village Motor Inn is located at Annie Springs, near the Route 62 junction. Two units are designed for wheelchair accessibility. The Motor Inn is open from June 4 to October 4. Check in is at the Mazama Village Store. To reserve rooms in advance, contact (541) 830-8700.
