Overview

Located just over 6 miles south of Crater Lake's Rim Village, the 214-site Mazama Village Campground is Crater Lake National Park’s largest campground. As you exit off Highway 62, pass through the NPS Annie Springs entrance station and the road to the campground will be located on your right. Mazama Village Campground is perfect for tent and RV camping and provides necessary amenities to all campers. Each campsite features a picnic table, fire ring with a grill and a bear-resistant food locker. 

Mazama Village Campground is open only in summer. It typically opens in June and closes in late September. The exact opening and closing dates are determined each year by the snow level in the camp sites, safety issues, and other factors.

Showers are available in the F loop of the campground and at Mazama Village Camp Store during store hours. Firewood, groceries, and fuel are available for purchase at the Mazama Village Camp Store.
