We only had about a 98 mile trip today so we didn't get on the road until around 10:00 am.
After getting gas we headed north on I-5 to Medford then turned inland towards Crater Lake. We steadily climbed into the mountains and arrived at the Diamond Lake RV Park in the Umpqua National Forest after lunch. Diamond Lake is just north of Crater Lake and near the northern entrance to Crater Lake National Park. The RV park is quite nice, has full hook ups and drive-through sites. It appears to be a concession in the National Forest and can accommodate even the big diesel pusher RVs.
Diamond Lake is large and was formed as part of the volcanic activity that created Crater Lake 8,000 years ago. It is now a busy resort with cabins, a marina, a hotel and conference center, general sore and a bar and restaurant.. After doing laundry today, we went to the resort restaurant for dinner tonight then back to the RV.
The plan tomorrow is to tour Crater Lake National Park. You cannot easily get down to the water but there is a 33 mile loop drive with vista point turnouts.
