Joseph Stewart County Park

We had a great time here, found the campground to only be about 20% full.
Although the lake is down we had a great time.
Found the cafe was closed, but the solitude was very nice.
Walked down to the waters edge and the dogs had a wonderful time playing in the lake
Fires are prohibited this time of year,but temperatures cooperated nicely.
Definitely on our A list.

This is now a county park. The site was a little dirty but not bad. The park was only about 30% occupied. The sites are big and well spaced. Lots of common area. While we were here the lake was very low but we were not here for the lake. The park is within an hours drive of Crater Lake and lots of nearby hiking in the national forest. There are flush restrooms but we never used them. We were hooked to 30 amp power and water. Very nice place

We camped here because it's on lost lake and close to Crater Lake National Park. Crater lake is beautiful still had areas with lots of snow we were there in the end of June. There are many nice easy short hikes close, the natural bridge is interesting and amazing the lava flow created the underground river flows.
Diamond lake is nice not to far to go explore. Mill creek falls is pretty it's towards a little town of Prospect. The Trophy room is a Bar & grill with wifi so we would go there to check email.

Our campsite was so big we couldn't believe it. You could see the lake in a distance and there's a trail behind the site along the lake. The playground was behind the site we were in, so take that into consideration. There was a big red cedar. There are some great sites away from the playground, several loops for camping. We had water & electric and it has a dump station.

The lake was good for Kayaking and boating, and fishing.

Sites were spacious enough - most with some privacy. Some of the driveways were longer than others. Bathrooms were heated and the showers were awesome - strong shower heads, private stalls/changing areas. Several stalls which was nice. The ranger told us they had just changed their reservation system 9/2015) - so if you are a walk in like we were, check what you might have read elsewhere about pulling up to any site with a "one night only" (or such) sign, as there are two versions of this sign now and even the ranger was figuring out the new system.

The area/park was kind of "meh" for our purposes. We had a couple of bars of AT&T and caught up on some projects-the trails were almost too tame/well groomed and the reservoir was very low. It was pretty, but felt kind of like an suburban park setting (complete with water sprinklers that, inexplicably, were on during our entire stay). The nearby marina store was very slim pickings, but they did have milk which is what I needed. We left after one day and headed to Crater Lake.

Stayed here for 4 nights over the the 4th of July, 2015 with our Airstream. Easy access and check in (we had reservations)...nobody at the booth, but the ranger showed up with our tag as we were setting up. Nice spacious sites with power and water on the B Loop. Most sites are 30 amp but beware that some are only 20 amp. If you want to run a 13,500 or 15,000 BTU AC you need a 30 amp. No sewer at the campsite, but a gray water dump was right there and there was also a full dump station at the campground. They were having a heatwave so very hot daytime temps at about 100 degrees, nighttime lows in the high 60's. Camp hosts and rangers were very friendly.

Being the 4th of July, the kids in the camp decorated their bikes and had a small parade. There was also a local banjo player that came to the amphitheater and sang some songs in the evening. Lots of trails and bike paths. We went on a hike and picked a bunch of blackberries and made some blackberry compote to put on some ice cream.

Due to drought, the lake was down about 45 feet from capacity. It was accessible by a very steep trail from the campsite and no beach to speak of. Lots of other areas nearby to access the river and lake though. There is a very small store at the marina and a store in Prospect, but the nearest market of any size is in Shady Cove.

An easy 45 minute drive to Crater Lake and about the same to Medford.
