Mazama Village Campground

Busiest campground in the park, but also really the only major place to camp if you aren't going into the backcountry

Get up early for a sunrise like the person in the picture. 5/7 will not regret.

It’s cold at this elevation! Bears are common.

Come early! More time to explore and to grab a campsite!

It says on here that dogs are not allowed, but they definitely are. We had our dogs and saw many other campgrounds with dogs as well.

Busy but they have the nicest bathrooms! Which to me says a lot about how well kept they keep the campground.

Rolled in to Mazama campground without reservations and grabbed a great spot. Check in early. All sites are first come first serve. You can make a reservation but you pick your site based on a color designation so early arrivers get their pick. I have yet to see a spot I wouldn't be happy to camp in. Our site is enormous but even the small sites are spacious with lots of pine trees separating each camp site. Big plus - the bathrooms are flush toilets and super clean. I read that bugs during the summer are bad and that review is accurate. Bring LOTS of bug spray. Only bummer is the showers are closed due to water restrictions at the moment but we'll make due with a pot of hot water at our site. Overall - 5 stars and Pets Are Allowed.

Great sites on the edge of a gorge.
