Lemolo Lake / Crater Lake North KOA Holiday

We spent a few days at this magnificent campground. Our lodge was just what we needed: an extremely quiet place surrounded by nature, close to the lake, hiking trails, and Crater Lake. I cannot find words strong enough to describe the warm welcome we received from Jim and Annita, who are simply wonderful. It was with a heavy heart that we left this little paradise. If we ever return to Oregon, we will come back here without hesitation. A big thank you again for your hospitality, for chatting with us, and for being there for us. Marion.

This KOA is in a much more remote location than others we’ve stayed at. We really loved that aspect. Lots of shade trees and good sites with a table and fire ring. The lake is lovely. The park is close enough to Crater Lake to be convenient but away from the crowds. Lemolo Lake is lovely, too. Would love to come back!

Great time here with my good group of friends. Clean cabin, great responsive staff, very accommodating and friendly. Our group was a bit loud one evening, they were nice to remind us about quiet time for the sake of others. Thanks for the visit and cheers to the owners and staff!

Nice sight and amenities. Good lake access as well. Reason for the low rating is the staff kind of sucks, perform road grating and kick dust up when people are trying to hangout. They enforce certain rules like their life depends on it. The second quite hours start they’ll be running up to tell you to be quite even if you all you did was coughed, but people can have bright strobing Christmas lights on all night shining through windows and into tents. Little weird to enforce somethings so strictly but not others. It be nice to hang around by a campfire at night since you can’t in the day when they’re making dust storms in the camp sites. I’ve always thought KOA campgrounds were supposed to be family campgrounds but clearly that has changed, don’t plan on coming here to hang out since you’re expected to basically be inside lights out at 10. Also after reading the responses to low rated reviews I can tell someone should probably not be managing this place. The responses are unprofessional and you can tell someone has had little experience in managing customer relations.

What a beautiful out of the way camp ground! The owners and staff were so friendly and gave great customer service. They even brought our ice to our site and put it in the cooler for us. Lots of options for rentals to enjoy the lake. Facilities were clean and the sites were large set up nicely. We will definitely come back for a longer stay.

Was a beautiful spot we had. Nice to have wood delivered to camp site. Was though most disappointed that our camp ground area only had 2 port a toilets to use. They were very full and smelled terrible. Water station had only a trickle. Was disgusting and sorry but a business should be embarrassed to offer this as a bathroom to guests. Only had one bathroom/shower combo in same room to use by the office. Was nice but who wants to drive all the way up there to use in middle of the night. No water to use near your site either. Do better KOA.

Spectacular & beautiful location "AWAY" from it all!! The lake with the mountain backdrop is breathtaking. Lemola lake is a huge deep lake, full of fish, thanks to the Oregon Fish and wildlife department! The KOA has various motorized boats to rent, plus other paddle boats for hire to get out on the water to fish and play in! Plan to bring in all food, gear, etc.. that you need as the nearest full-service grocery store is 80+ miles away on curvey roads. The KOA camp store does have basic amenities at reasonable prices just in case you find yourself needing something. ||The campsite and grounds are well maintained. We had a 30ft trailer and had no issues with the pull through space and ease of getting into our spot; the site hosts can help guide you into the space if you need assistance. Contrary to the comments about the campsites being too close to one another, we found this campground to be quite spacious with sites well separated; we have stayed in many lovely state campgrounds and other private parks where you are literally lined up in rows with about 15 feet apart from the other trailers/rigs. At Lemola Lake, most of the RV campsites have very nice larger areas with fire pits to sit out around with friends and family, plus they each have a picnic table. ||Since you are in the Cascades, you will find Mosquitoes and biting flies depending upon the time of day and temperatures outside....so bring repellant and clothing to keep the bugs at bay! There are lovely waterfall hikes within 30-minutes or less from the campground and the North Entrance to Crater Lake is 18 miles away. We hiked to 6 different waterfalls and stopped by one along the way on the East Rim drive; varying degrees of difficulty, with the hardest being a 3.4 round trip hike with an elevation drop of about 400 feet all the way down to see the spectacular base of Lemola waterfall! We cannot wait to return to explore the many hiking trails in the area and try our luck to catch a Trophy Brown Trout!
