We are making a trip to the Crater Lake area a week or so after Labor Day and looked at making the Diamond Lake campground our base. From what I understand, the campground is first come first serve after Labor Day. Is this still a Forest Service campground? Anyone have any input on whether this would be a good spot to use for exploring the area?We plan to head out on Highway 138 and head toward the coast when we leave the area.

Diamond lake lodge I believe offers full hookups. Check their web site.HERE!

Yes, still a Forest Service park.Looks like some are first come and some are reservations operated by Reserve America.LINK....click HereWe have stayed across the street at Diamond Lake RV Park..a private operation.Both times we camped there the mosquitoes were brutal...but, it's a beautiful area and there is a great paved bike trail all the way around the lake.

I don't recommend the Diamond Lake RV Resort.

The mosquitoes will be about gone by Sept.
