Top Reasons to Go to Crater Lake National Park

The lake: Cruise inside the caldera basin and gaze into the extraordinary sapphire blue water of the country's deepest lake.

Native land: Enjoy the rare luxury of interacting with totally unspoiled terrain.

The night sky: Billions of stars glisten in the pitch-black darkness of an unpolluted sky.

Splendid hikes: Accessible trails spool off the main roads and wind past colorful bursts of wildflowers and cascading waterfalls.

Camping at its best: Pitch a tent or pull up a motor home at Mazama Campground, a beautifully situated, guest-friendly, and well-maintained campground.
