of double campsites give this campground a family-friendly feel.

light late in the day. Campsites in this loop are tucked into a
more densely wooded area and are more private. The bathroom
facilities in Otter Flat are up a hill and are not wheelchair friendly.

The campground winds around Lake in the Woods offering almost
every campsite a view of the lake. The lake began as a marsh
until it was made into the lake in 1954. By the end of summer,
this swampy past can be seen in the lake's algae-covered still
water. In the Spring a wealth of rhododendron and wildflowers
bring beautiful color to the lake and campground. Privacy
between campsites is good. Mature Douglas fir surround the lake.

area features horseshoe pits and a large open grass field. The
sound of Layng Creek can be heard throughout much of the
campground. Although modernized with flush toilets, the

RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Idleyld Park, OR, take State Rt. 138 east 17.6 miles to

5.5 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign onto Forest Rt.
4750 (single lane), crossing a bridge, and go 0.6 miles to campground
on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,500 ft.
The campground is a single loop through a stand of hemlock,
Douglas fir, and a variety of deciduous trees. Deep Creek runs
along one side of campground, while Steamboat Creek is on another
stretch of the loop. Campsites along these two creeks are
classified as tent-only. (Site 1 is on a point where the creeks come
together and is wonderfully secluded.) Campsites with no views of a
creek are good for both tenters and RVrs. Steamboat Creek and its
tributaries are spawning grounds for Steelhead trout, which might be
observed during summer months.
Steamboat Falls, visible from campground, is a formidable barrier
to the Steelhead. To compensate, a "fish ladder" was built to help
them on their spawning run.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,100 ft.
The North entrance to Crater Lake National Park is 10 miles south
of campground.
The campground, one of three in the Diamond Lake Recreation Area,
is on the west shore of Diamond Lake. There are three loops (A, B,
and C) which are located in a pleasant mixture of fir and pine. The
trees are so dense shade is abundant throughout campground.
Some campsites in Loops B and C overlook the lake and have a
great view of Mt. Thielsen. Informal mooring of boats is possible
along shoreline. Loop C has more Lodgepole pine than other loops
giving campsites in Loop C a little more sunlight. Interpretive
programs are offered at Diamond Lake's amphitheater during the
summer.
The nearby Diamond Lake Resort offers a wide range of features
including limited groceries, gas, boat and bike rentals and meals
giving the cook a night out. Two possible day trips are: Crater
Lake National Park and Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway with its many
waterfalls.

The elevation is 2,400 ft.
The campground has two loops, A and B, nestled in among mature cedar,
Douglas fir and some deciduous trees near Toketee Lake and North Umpqua
River. A few campsites in Loop A are along the river. A lack of
middlestory results in only fair privacy between campsites. Gas, limited
groceries, and some RV supplies are available at the Dry Creek Store,
11.4 miles east of campground.
State Rt. 138, also known as Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, in route to the
campground, is a wonderful way to enjoy some of the delights found in the
Umpqua National Forest. For example, the several waterfalls are fun to
visit along the Byway, one of which is the 120-foot, double-tiered Toketee
Falls.
