Only 35 minutes from one of the worlds best natural beauty's Crater Lake.This has a lot to offer, if you want to stay in a cabin they have that option, how about a large RV with all the hookups, yep it's got it. Tent spots are available too, however ours was a bit small for our large tent, so be prepared and aware of the size.It has a nice store, a fence dog park, a kids play ground and best of all it's located on a lake. You can even rent equipment to play on the lake. What are you waiting for put in your reservation today and go see Crater Lake.

We have been coming here for 4 years now. Everytime this place does not disappoint. A great lake with fantastic trout fishing. The ability to rent a boat. Amazing and friendly owners. It all leads to a fantastic time in a beautiful location

This was our families first time to Lemolo lake, we had an amazing time. It’s a beautiful place to camp! We have decided this is going to be our place at least once a summer from now on! The showers were nice and clean the staff was friendly. We rented a boat our kids loved it! The lake was clear, but it was a little smoky due to the fires. I highly recommend camping here, you won’t want to leave!

Had a fantastic experience at Lemolo Lake KOA! Staff was exceptional in service and attitude. They really seemed to enjoy what they do. At one point during our stay they had to shut the water off due to a needed repair. They provided advanced notice of the shutoff via text with an ETA of when the water would be restored (which they beat by an hour). During the shutoff my wife needed to use the restroom and decided to just use the porta potty by the general store. We have both seen our fair share of porta potties throughout our years, but not a single one has ever been this CLEAN!! My wife let them know in person how amazingly clean it was and the owner/manager was ecstatic to hear it!We stayed in one of the basic Kabins and it too was spotless! Not a single cobweb or spec of dust. Yes there quite a few mosquitos and other bugs, but it's a campground with lake front access so of course the numbers will be greater.Crater Lake was gorgeous and the hot springs that are close by were amazing! Thank you again for an excellent experience and great vacation for me and my family.Attached pictures are of Crater Lake and a near by waterfall. Lemolo Lake is also quite stunning with Mt Theilson in the background.

We really enjoyed our stay! Very nice people running the grounds, cabin was clean & the camp dog Odin was an absolute doll. We lost both of our sweet pups in the last 9 months due to old age & heart disease...so Odin running around, happy & greeting the campers brought us a little extra joy on our vacation. Well maintained campground, not super huge which is nice tbh. We'd stay again. Happy travels everyone!

Great KOA. We had a very nice stay here. Stayed for a week in June. They have boats to rent. Lots of fish to be caught. The camp hosts are very nice and keep the resort in great condition. There is a boat launch if you bring your boat with a small dock. We had a group of us on this trip. We had 3 tent sites 2 cabins and 1 RV site. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their stay. We rented the patio boat. Camp is very close to a bunch of waterfalls ranging from just off the road with minimal walking to some with a decent hike up the side of the hills to get to them. There’s a hot spring close by and Crater Lake is about 45 minutes south. There are ATV trails with access from the park. You can bike ride the road around the lake. It was fairly flat, we took our 5 & 9 years olds for the ride and they did fine. Was about 8 miles. The final 1-2 miles we took the dirt side road to stay off the main road in.

Had a great two week stay at Lemolo Lake KOA. We loved the remoteness of it but close enough to Crater Lake and numerous falls to keep us busy. We also enjoyed walking by the lake it was so peaceful.

If it's summer and you are going to Crater Lake??? Take the North Entrance it's only 1/2 hour drive not the 1 hour drive Google maps wants you to use.I really wasn't sure what to expect from this KOA. There are some mixed reviews. There are some complaints about the mosquitos, the staff and the sites.I had no problem at all. I booked online but changed the reservations from a site to a cabin before our arrival. We chose the cabin near the boat launch.We arrived about 7:30 pm. Our keys were in the night box when we arrived. We drove down to the cabin and were very surprised. We were completely alone. Our cabin had it's own little beach and we basically had our own dock too.The cabin was clean. Everything was as it was described. We went to the office the next morning and had no issues with the staff. While not crazy excited, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. Just right actually for what he was doing.He did mention we were at the very tail end of mosquito season.While the cabin was on the spendy end of things... We stayed a Friday through Monday, it was well worth it. $900 for memories the kids will remember forever is well worth it. They swam, floated on rafts and jumped from the dock.

We spent 5 nights in this beautiful park in the mountains in the middle of Umpqua National Forest on the shore of Lemolo Lake about an hour drive from Crater Lake. There are also many beautiful water falls nearby to hike to with varying degrees of difficulty. The owner was helpful in pointing out the nearest spots and providing a brochure describing the different falls. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of trees, naturally being in the national forest. We were forewarned that the nearest full service supermarket is 80 miles away so come well supplied. There is a small camp store with some emergency items and, more importantly, ice cream. We travel with a 36' fifth wheel and some of the turns getting around the park are tight. We had some difficulty getting out of our pull thru site.

Regular rustic campground with spectacular views. Go out to the lake early in the morning before sunrise to see the mist on the water, or at night when there is no light pollution to look at the stars. Close to Diamond Lake, Crater Lake, and several waterfalls along the way.

First I want to say the staff were awesome, the lake is beautiful, and the shop is stacked with good beverages. All was run well on the KOA side.We just found this location REALLY hard to relax in with all of the mosquitos in June. Not only the KOA but the campsites are uphill from the lake so you feel disconnected from it so no lake vibes at your site. When weather planning for your stay use location ‘Idleyld Park’ this is the geolocation for the campground. We ended up getting rained out from 2pm onward each day, it may have have been avoided with this.All in all we had a couple nights booked and were going to stay another, but left after the first. We truly wanted to make this our go-to KOA but probably won’t.5 stars for putting a KOA lakeside3 for execution+1 for staff

Great first experience at a KOA. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. Mattresses were thicker and better quality than the state parks. The campsite was gravel which kept any dirt from being dragged into the cabin. 2 things which surprised me, was the fire pit was completely clean off any leftover fire debris from the previous camper and when I purchased multiple bundles of wood from the wonderfully stocked camp store, they offered to deliver the wood. I've included in my pictures a map of the campground. I think this would be helpful when booking.

Quiet and stunningly beautiful with well groomed nature walk along the lake. Cabins are spread out pretty well and the hosts are friendly and helpful. All around lovely location.

Amazing place! I cannot recommend this enough. You really don’t even need to leave the campground but if you do great waterfall hikes are nearby and of course Crater Lake.

This campground is really nice. Well kept, very friendly host's, scenery is outstanding. Pet friendly. Off the beaten path so it makes for a relaxing atmosphere.

The host (owners) here are super friendly, the campsite was quiet most of the time, they have showers and laundry, and the kayak rentals were affordable. We had a great time and have nothing to complain about.You can rent a tent site, or a cabin, or an RV spot.

They deliver pizza to your camp site! And they had the cleanest porter John's I have ever been in! The view of the lake and easy access to hiking trails was amazing. Plus, being right by Crater lake made our whole trip amazing! Would love to go back!It just seems to be our luck that every time we go camping, we are right next to the people who get in after 10pm and have to set up camp in the dark. If we didn't have kids, this would not be a problem, but since I know they will be up at the crack of dawn, the lack of sleep is rough.Playground: While geared more towards younger kids, they do have a little ninja warrior course for the older kids. My older kiddos found the old pay phone to be the most fun thing there.Restrooms: They only have one public restroom and shower, but both are very nice and clean.Dog-friendliness: They had a very nice looking dog park.

We spent three nights at this Koa in Sept 2023 and it was great. The staff were super helpful and sweet. Only two stalls in the women's restroom but always nice and clean. Two showers and they were clean as well. The lake is beautiful, we rented their kayaks. Great location with so many waterfalls all around and near to Crater lake. We will be back for sure.

Dirt Roads, dirt sites, no cable, no wi fi, lotsa dust; nature the way it was made. Lotsa natural, scenic beauty. Great hosts & store.

Beautiful lake location with a dock and boat rental available. Nice lodgepole pine setting for the campground. Ready access to Crater Lake National Park. In the process of becoming a KOA. Would stay here again!

Too far from Crater lake!! Washer/dryers not available. Nearest shopping 80 miles away!! I was a tent camper by the lake and it was nice, BUT you had to park 200 steps away ( yes I counted)from campsite and hike with all your equipment on a dirt path. Which BTW was where the porta potty was. The tent camper bath/shower was a1/4 mile away and there was only one for 4 sites, resulting in long waits. We scheduled/paid 2 nights and only stayed 1. Stayed at Mazama in CLNP and it was soo much better and cheaper. Washer/dryers were free, store had so much more to offer and it had a restaurant that was fabulous. I strongly discourage this KOA!

I miss the old lemolo resort. They were amazing folk and the usage of the facilities was a breeze in the past. We were heading home from backpacking in the woods and my poor son needed a restroom. We are in potty training mode so there’s some pickiness to toilet usage. He made due with the woods but had had it lol. Anyway long story short we had asked the Koa if we could use the flush toilets for him and we basically got told no, it’s for customers only. We even offered to pay. Told us to use the porta potties. They were clean but I had to stand with the door open in public while waiting for my son to try poop. I could be being picky here but I felt it was bit rude and ridiculous to be denied a flush toilet even after offering to pay for it. So we will never be customers here. Will stick with the other campgrounds around the lake. Sorry guys, not a good first time impression especially given we have never stayed at a koa before.

This KOA is absolutely the worst Koa we ever been and we have been staying in the USA and Canada Koa for years. Nothing like any other KOAs first of all the place itself was a mess so unorganized, dirt road makes more dust. Laundromat was under construction and the shop has everything ridiculously over priced. Campground looks horrible nothings but dirt.

The view was unbelievable, can’t wait to come back <3Playground: Cute little playground out little ones really enjoyed :)Restrooms: Clean, stocked, no issues!Dog-friendliness: Quite a few people were traveling with pets and were using the gated dog area!Picnic area: Lots of benches on the trails and places to set up and have a picnic, there’s a little playground for the kids :)

We loved our camping experience here. We knew we would arrive late, so we called the front office beforehand, and got no problem finding our tent site and the passcode to the restroom. The restroom was nice and clean. The whole campground was quiet at night. The lake view was awesome.
