Diamond Lake
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Meandering along most of the east shore of the mile-high Diamond Lake, this large campground boasts spectacular views of both Mount Bailey and Mount Thielsen, and offers visitors abundant recreational opportunities. At an elevation of 5,183 feet, Diamond Lake provides a multitude of year-round recreation. The area offers a scenic backdrop for swimmers braving its cold, refreshing waters, and anglers casting a line from boat or shoreline. Rainbow trout thrive in the lake, as it is stocked annually with 300,000 fingerlings. Bicyclists will enjoy riding on the 11 miles of paved trail around the lake, while hikers can head out for the day on one of many trails leaving from the area. Interpretive programs are offered on Saturday evenings at the campground amphitheater. This large campground has 238 sites, including double and standard sites, able to accommodate tents, RVs and trailers; all sites are available by reservation only. Sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings, grills, drinking water and flush toilets. Access to Diamond Lake is within walking distance, and boat ramps and fish cleaning stations are accessible to visitors. The gatehouse is staffed daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and campground hosts are on-site to answer questions. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the 984,602-acre Umpqua National Forest, and the area provides spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area: high mountain lakes, heart-stopping rapids, peaceful ponds and thundering waterfalls, including the 272-foot Watson Falls on the North Umpqua Highway. A nearby resort offers bicycle, boat and horse rentals as well as lodging, restaurants, a grocery store, laundry facilities and fuel. Trails for hiking and mountain biking are within 10 miles of the campground. Visitors may want to take time to visit nearby Crater Lake National Park, the only national park in Oregon, which offers a glimpse into the volcanic history of the area. The Pacific Crest Trail, one of the world's premier National Scenic Trails, winds its way from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington, and is accessible near the campground.
