About
Diamond Lake Campground sits at 5,183 feet elevation on the east shore of Diamond Lake in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest. The campground offers 238 sites total, including 51 premium lakeshore sites and 187 inshore sites nestled among towering conifers. Mount Bailey and Mount Thielsen provide a dramatic volcanic backdrop. All sites feature picnic tables, fire rings with grills, and access to flush toilets and potable water. The lake is a major recreational draw, stocked annually with 300,000 rainbow trout fingerlings. Visitors can fish from shore or boat, swim in the cold mountain waters, or paddle by canoe and kayak. The 11-mile paved Dellenback Trail circles the lake for hiking and biking. Nearby Crater Lake National Park and the Pacific Crest Trail offer additional exploration opportunities. A nearby resort provides boat, bicycle, and horse rentals along with lodging, restaurants, a grocery store, laundry facilities, and fuel. The campground operates on a reservation-only basis through Recreation.gov during summer season, with a 14-day maximum stay.
