Small but sweet

Deceivingly small, there are 5 sites near the trailhead entrance for the falls and another 6 sites on the top side of the falls. You have to drive a mile or so up the highway to get to from a forest service road that does not even hint at these six sites or any sort of access to the falls. Between the two, I like the stealth forest service road sites better as they are right next to the river and seem less popular due to the difficulty in finding them. The forest service truck was actually out and loading the vault toilets at both sites with fresh rolls. There is a vault toilet at the trailhead that is in desperate need of emptying, but the vault toilets in the campgrounds were still ok. You can take a very short hike to the falls and there are a couple of nice footbridges over the river below the falls to get to both sides(though there are some great logs to cross too). The main campground is heavily treed and sites are not all level. The topside sites have less trees and are spaced pretty good for privacy.

Small but beautiful

Five total sites here, smallish, too small for big rigs or anything over 20 ft except one site suitable for up to 30 ft. Cheap, like seven bucks with access card. No hookups. Vault toilet. Right next to beautiful Clearwater Falls, hiking trails. 15 min from Diamond Lake, 30 from Crater Lake NP. Would camp here again.

Rustic Forest Service

Beautiful waterfall and cold clear river running through old growth evergreen forest. Easy access off of highway 138 east - limited turn around area for larger RVs.

Very short stay.

We got in at about 9:00 pm and had to leave the following morning at 8:00. The vault toilet was clean and not especially stinky. The campsite was large and very flat, with a picnic table and fire ring. There is a nice waterfall right nearby and the surrounding first is beautiful.

tiny; but close to waterfalls

This campround is a lot like the nearby Whitehorse falls campground. Very small and primitive, but with a waterfall right in the park. It is also just down the road from Diamond Lake and is close by many other waterfall destinations. I would think that this would also be a good spot to use as a backup plan if all other grounds were full. It was very busy when I visited, but found if I stayed for a bit and took the less popular trail, I had that side of the falls to myself. Very peaceful once the crowd dies down.

Beautiful, quiet, serene, annoying mosquitoes, enchanting waterfall and stream, close to hot springs

Peaceful and relaxing. A great, cheap place to crash the night. Lots of mosquitoes due to proximity to water...but would 1000000% stay again in a heartbeat!!
