About this campground

Lost Creek Campground/Day Use

Lost Creek Campground in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, offers 16 first-come, first-served established tent-only sites (no dispersed camping). Open July–mid-October (weather-dependent), it requires a nightly fee (around $10); no reservations or permits are needed beyond park entry. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and food lockers—but no potable water, showers, or RV access (not suitable for trailers). Quiet and forested, the campground provides a rustic, peaceful vibe under towering pines. Nearby attractions include Crater Lake's Rim Drive and Pinnacles Trail. Best time to visit is summer through early fall for dry conditions and full park access. No hookups available.
