Crater Lake - Mazama Village check in procedures?

We're headed to Crater Lake - Mazama Village after the eclipse in August. We have reservations, but this is a campground that is first come first served even for the reservation sites.

1. Can anyone give me some good advice on how the check in procedure works?

2. And how the color coded campsites work?

3. Will it help to be there early? Or is it just a mad land rush at noon?

4. I know there are just a few electric sites. Are they first come, just like the rest of the sites, or are they a different color code?


We have a reservation for "RV site up to 50 ft total (no hook ups)".

Thanks in advance!

  • Thank for the info.

    Does anyone know if the few sites with electricity are a different color than the non electricity sites?
  • There is a check-in person adjacent to the store.
    Post colors indicate size
    You can get there earlier and check to see who and when they are leaving.
    Have you though of getting there Sunday?
    I do not care for there system.
