Crater Lake Lodge

Perched on the rim of the countrys deepest lake, the historic Crater Lake Lodge offers an unparalleled setting for those seeking a high-altitude wilderness experience. Originally constructed in 1915, this iconic landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and provides a grand gateway to the majestic beauty of the Pacific Northwest. At an elevation of 7,069 feet, visitors are treated to breathtaking, dramatic views of the sapphire-blue crater and the rugged surrounding terrain.

This location serves as a unique basecamp for both tent and RV campers looking to immerse themselves in a high-mountain environment. As a rustic federal site, it is best suited for self-sufficient travelers who appreciate the raw beauty of the outdoors and are prepared for the challenges of high-elevation camping. Because there are no listed hookups or specific amenities, guests should arrive fully equipped for a remote stay.

Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or a history enthusiast, the lodge provides a rare opportunity to stay at the edge of a national treasure. The site remains accessible year-round, offering distinct seasonal landscapes that appeal to those who enjoy true mountain solitude and the historic legacy of Oregon's crown jewel.
