About

The Crescent Lake Yurts are located within Crescent Lake Campground on the northwestern shore of Crescent Lake at the eastern base of the Cascade mountain range in northern Klamath County. The facility features three individual yurt sites situated within a predominately ponderosa pine stand on the western edge of the campground. Each furnished yurt includes one bunkbed with one double and one single mattress, one double futon, table and chairs, and a wood stove for heating. Each yurt site also features an outdoor fire ring and picnic table. Yurts accommodate up to 6 people and do not have electricity. Visitors should be prepared to bring their own linens, cooking utensils, and lighting source. The Crescent Lake area offers diverse recreation opportunities including boating, swimming, fishing, and paddling on the brilliant blue-green waters of Crescent Lake. The Fawn Lake Trailhead departs from the campground providing hiking access into the Diamond Peak Wilderness. During summer months, visitors have access to drinking water within the campground. The area sits within a glaciated basin with views of Diamond Peak and Cowhorn Mountain.
