Nice campsites with fire pit & picnic tables, bear resistant food lockers. Sites fairly close, but lots of trees to give some privacy. Quiet and not too crowded while we were there. Our site was a pull through site on a one way rd, so RV entry was on the road side versus site side.
Check in staff friendly, store/gift shop has basic amenities, gas available (no diesel)
Our site had electric, potable water, bathrooms and showers clean
Zero Verizon cell service at our site
Starlink worked great the first night. Next day the signal was in and out. Repositioned it a few times but still in and out. Was able to use, but for meetings there was intermittent interruption.
Free dump station, free laundry

It’s a beautiful area and rustic but decent CG. Sites are assigned to you, no choice. When we were there (mid July), there was no ranger or vendor presence. A list was posted for our site and we never saw an employee for the two nights. The sites were not maintained between guests at all. We didn’t use the bath or showers. We missed the feel of a national park campground. We were also disappointed that the visitors centers were closed. But the site was fairly quiet (minus generators) and it was the closest CG to the lake and the hikes, so happy we stayed there.

However, the private contractor for this campground is not doing a very good job of maintaining or managing the campground... so sad. We hiked the Annie Canyon trail from the campground, a very nice hike. We drove to Crater Lake and hiked along the rim of the crater, beautiful views of the deep blue lake. The campground has no cell service and the free showers were cold.

Nice campground, even with reservations you get the site they assign. There is a printout at the camp store showing your site. Another contractor run place that is over priced ($35 for a dry site) and under maintained. This park would be a 5+ except for the cons below.
Mazama is out of the way, 110 miles from Roseburg through the woods. Very scenic drive in.
Pros: Great location, very quiet campground. Crater Lake is a must see, the most scenic park we have been to in 18 months of full timing. No insect pests, just a few yellow jackets that didn't bother us. Lots of good solar at our site, some sites have sun, some are fully shaded.
Cons: There are only two showers for the whole campground, ridiculous! The contractor running the place only cares about making money - the bathrooms are bad, trash pickup is not frequent enough (on our loop all the trash cans were overflowing), there were small pieces of trash and cigarette butts in our camp site and they pick your site, there is no reason for not allowing customers to reserve a specific site.
Lots of hiking in the area, Annie Creek loop goes right behind Loops C, D or E. Mazama is at 6000 feet, the lake rim is 7000 feet so be prepared.
AT&T cell service was weak, 1 bar of 4G. With the WeBoost and Pepwave we were able to get cellular internet. Android phone worked some, iPhone even less, just enough for a text and sometimes a call.

We camped while there were some wild fires south of Crater Lake, so the view of the lake wasn't as clear. The campground was booked out, but because of the smoke few campers showed. Our site, F28, was large with a long pull through. The down side of this spot was that the hike-in camping sites were just across the street, so the night time noise was loud. And even though it's not allowed (national park), you could definitely smell pot coming from the hike-in campers. The campground itself is large with some really cool trails accessed from inside it. Annie's Creek trail was especially fun to hike, no driving to the trailhead needed. The rangers had some fun and interesting talks at the amphitheater in the evenings. The flush toilets were well maintained, showers were closed for the season. The little store, gift shop, and eatery are within walking distance from the campsites. Even with the smoke coverage of the lake, it was definitely a must visit. Lots of hiking options throughout the whole park with just a short drive. Make sure to pack away any food in the bear lockers provided in each campsite.

It's been quite an ordeal to find a campsite in this campground, but boy did it deliver. We got site #F1, which was quite spacious and expanded towards the back, a great feature if you have little kids. I would be careful on this site if your trailer is longer than 27 feet; it was easy to maneuver our 25 feet AirStream.
Our site didn't have any hookups, but there were many electrical hookups on the F loop. For the portable solar, you have to keep moving it until noon, as many trees are in the way, but it was ok afternoon; the site area in the back had constant sun till late during our stay in August.
The weather was medium to mild throughout our stay. The first couple of days, it went up in the high 80's during the day and high forties to low fifties at night. I had a couple of 12V fans, which came in handy. The generator hours are generous, from 8 AM to 8 PM. We try to keep generator use to a minimum, only use it to top off the battery after a daylong of solar use.
There is a Gas Station, but it only has 87 Octane, so if you need higher octane fuel or diesel, you will need to drive 30 minutes out to Hwy 97.
Cell signal is sparse to nothing; we could get one to two bars for AT&T and Verizon, near some campsites in the F-loop and on trails. There is also a signal in Rim Village. But the Camp Store has free WiFi and charging stations. Most people use that couple of times a day to connect back to the world they left behind. We enjoyed this opportunity to disconnect entirely for a few days.
There are lots of hikes of different difficulty levels to do here. The views of the lake are beyond stunning, we were while fires were going on in Oregon and California, so there was smoke making the lake views hazy; it was beautiful despite that.

Moreover at Mazama Village they assign you your camp site - there is no choosing! If you booked more than two or three-night, this can be a problem. There are only a very few sites with power in section B and C. I saw large 5th wheels crammed into difficult and small site, and tiny teardrops in giant site - all assigned. It's a crap shoot! Our site was D1 where the picnic table, fire ring and Bear food locker was all on the wrong side of our trailer. So if you get any site with an odd numbered 1,3,5,7,9 and so on you will have the same issue. Only saving grace was the fact it was close to all the lake activities and the rim drive. Plus the gas station was cheaper than the outside gas price by .25 cents a gallon.NO diesel fuel only regular unleaded gas.

We stayed here several years ago - were meeting up with friends so needed a central spot. Checking in was weird... we left our credit card info on file and they sent us out with a map and let us pick. Different colors on the signposts indicated amenities and price. We just grabbed a pull-thru with another pull-thru behind us and left a note for our friends so when they came in they could find us. Beautiful campground - decent sites, a bit tight getting out with rocks & trees and we have a 19' Rpod... No cell coverage except for when we got on the trail on the N side of the campground. We showered in our trailer, but our friends said very hot showers were available (again this was a few years ago). This is a great place to base from - watch the weather - we got snowed on in September!
