Stay straight driving past the right turn for the Mazama Village Store.<br /><br />214 sites are organized on the left-hand side of the road into seven loops lettered A to G, each with a sign identifying the loop location. Travel throughout each loop is one-way in a clockwise direction. At the front of each site is a wooden post with the site number. The sites are dispersed through a forest of lodgepole pines, mountain hemlocks, Shasta red firs, and subalpine firs. Douglas squirrels, gray jays, and Steller’s jays are commonly seen and heard.  <br /><br />Each site contains a brown wooden picnic table, a bear-resistant food locker, and a fire ring with a grill. A paved or gravel parking area is provided for cars or an RV. Trash and recycling receptacles are dispersed throughout each loop. <br /><br />The first left turn from the main campground road goes to A-loop with 15 sites including one accessible site, A10. A restroom with running water and flush toilets is near A13, with women on one end of the building and men on the other. A fresh-water spigot is across from the restroom.<br /><br />The second left turn from the main campground road goes to B-loop which has 16 sites including two accessible sites, B1 and B6. There are two restrooms (as previously described) behind sites B5 and B10, and two fresh-water spigots near the restrooms. <br /><br />A right turn at the intersection of loop B goes to the Mazama Village Store, gas pumps, and Annie Creek Restaurant and Gift Shop.<br /><br />The next left is C-loop with 26 sites, two restrooms, and fresh-water spigots at C6 and C19.<br />Directly across from the start of C-loop is the dump station access. Turn right off the main campground road,  then take an immediate left to access the dump station. Loop through the dump station area to get back to the main campground road. <br /><br />C-loop is followed by D-loop with 35 sites, one restroom near site D6, and multiple fresh-water spigots throughout the loop. A path between sites D20 and D21 leads to the campground amphitheater.<br /><br />E-loop is the largest loop in the campground with 55 sites, which accommodate tent campers only. There are two restrooms near sites E20 and E47, and multiple fresh-water spigots throughout the loop. Between sites E19 and E21 is a short, gravel access road to the campground amphitheater for park rangers and emergency vehicles, and for visitors walking to or dropping-off.<br />   <br />F Loop has 29 sites, and two are accessible, F17 and F21. There is a restroom across from sites F1 and F2, and a restroom with an accessible shower between sites F18 and F22. Multiple fresh-water spigots are located throughout the loop.<br /><br />The end of the main campground road circles through G-loop. This loop has 37 sites with a restroom at the beginning of the loop and multiple fresh-water spigots throughout the loop.<br /><br />From July through early September, rangers present evening programs in the amphitheater, located between D & E loops. There is no parking, including accessible parking, at the amphitheater. Visitors must walk to or be dropped off. Drop-off drivers may use the gravel access road between sites E19 and E21 but cannot park there without the ranger’s permission due to limited space.  Unlit walking paths from D & E loop which lead to the front of the outdoor amphitheater are soft soil, not a packed surface. In the amphitheater, lights are on the ground next to the 22 rows of wooden bench seats in three sections from left to right, with wide aisles.  Benches face a stage and large movie screen protected within a white structure. There is no designated space for wheelchairs. On the left-hand side of the seating area is a large rock campfire pit, used at the ranger’s discretion. Rangers wear microphones and will try to accommodate any accessible requests brought to their attention.<br /><br />Annie Creek flows through a canyon behind the campground loops and can be heard from several campsites.

Welcoming you is a brown wood sign with the words Lost Creek Campground carved into the panel and painted white. It hangs from a beam leveraged by five round, multi-sized posts that create the sign’s base. <br /><br />Beneath towering lodge pole pines and Shasta Red Firs are grassy meadows with 16 tent sites distributed in an inner and outer circle.

The bulletin board contains information on how to select a site, pay, rules, regulations and any current concerns regarding the campground. <br /> <br />From the kiosk, go left towards site #1 and continue as the road winds around to site #4. If your go right, you will by-pass sites 1 through 4, and turn right in front of site 5. Lost Creek runs behind sites 2 thru 5. Wildflowers highlight the area during summer and fall colors resume their brilliance as the weather cools.<br /> <br />Between sites 4 and 5 is Greyback Road, the former East Rim Drive. There is a locked metal gate swung across the road to prohibit vehicle traffic. This road is now considered a trail for hikers, bicyclists, and pet walking. Across from sites 4 and 5 is a native stone and wood structure. This restroom is closed due to water rights legislation which does not give the National Park Service senior rights to use of the water in Lost Creek and its reservoir. Instead, there are portable toilets, several which are accessible, stationed alongside the building.  <br /><br />Beyond the closed restroom, the road continues in a circular fashion with access to sites 6 to 16. The road and all campsite parking are covered with small crushed gravel-like rock. Tent areas are mostly dirt and natural debris with some crushed rock. All sites are generally level with room to park two vehicles. Each site has one picnic table; bases are white and formed from concrete; tops are made of heavy planks of wood. Most are in the sun with a possibility of shade at times throughout the day. Each site also has one bear-proof, metal food storage locker. The park is home to many animals, including black bears. All of your food, garbage, cooking equipment, storage containers (e.g. ice chests), and toiletries (soaps, toothpaste, etc.) must be kept in your vehicle or in the bear-resistant locker provided at your campsite.<br /><br />There are tree stumps and logs throughout the meadow and around campsites. Many dead trees stand along and beyond the creek. There are trash and recycling containers in several locations in the campground. The creek is closed to fishing to save and protect native bull trout. <br /><br />Since the campground is alongside Pinnacles Road it is not quiet during the day due to cars traveling to and from Pinnacles Overlook.

The road into Rim Village is narrow with two-way traffic, and a 15 mile-per-hour speed limit. Front-in parking aligns most of the right and left sides of the road until it ends in a loop in front of Crater Lake Lodge.  RVs and other large vehicles are encouraged to park in the designated area as you enter Rim Village, or in a near-by pull-out along the roads that led you to the village. Accessible parking is available in several locations including in front of Rim Village Visitor Center.<br /><br />During hours of operation, the visitor center is easily located by looking for the American flag flying out front on a pole. Otherwise, no road sign is present indicating the visitor center location.<br /><br />Rim Village is an historic district listed in 1997 on the National Register of Historic Places. Rustic-style features were created with native stone and logs, including a stone parapet wall outlining the Rim Village Promenade. This is a pedestrian and pets only walkway at the caldera edge and serves as a guide through the village, passing behind the Rim Village Visitor Center. <br /><br />The visitor center is inside the Kiser Studio which Fred Kiser built in 1921 and expanded in 1926.It is a small building constructed with native stone and wood shingles.  His studio offered visitors hand-colored post cards of photographs that he took of Crater Lake. Today, the Crater Lake Natural History Association operates the park store offering a variety of books, gifts, and educational items for children. <br /><br />In addition to the park store, a ranger is on duty to answer questions and assist with your itinerary.  Junior ranger activities for children are offered throughout the day. Ranger talks are given at the Sinnott Memorial Overlook. Rangers will gladly move the talk to a more accessible location upon advance request. <br />","emailAddress":"4897D7BAA2DAA1BA9BA91EAEED1EA4A3798F439E49B39F8B4C3FA0970D9881B0D8","telephoneDescription":"","visitorCenterImage":"/common/uploads/structured_data/6C898E2E-A74E-A51F-F7669B96C90850E0_thumb.jpg","telephoneNumberFax":"","mailing_address":{"line_3":"","city":"Crater Lake","postal_code":"97604     ","line_2":"PO Box 7 ","line_1":"Crater Lake National Park","state_code":"OR"},"name":"Rim Visitor Center","visitorCenterID":134,"telephoneNumberTty":"","operatingHours":{"1":{"exceptions":[{"holiday_start":0,"description":"Open/close dates are different each year depending on snow amounts, snow removal, and safe access for visitors.

A blinking stop sign, the only one in the park, signals where to turn off the main drive and into the oval parking lot with an oval center of native plants (currently more dirt than plants). The American flag flies on a pole in front of the 2-story, native stone building with wood roof shingles. If the flag is not erected, it is a signal that the visitor center and all amenities are closed. The Sager Administration Building is also in the oval with additional parking behind it.  <br /><br />There are two accessible parking spaces in front of the flagpole, and drop-off space next to the winter-access snow tunnel. Entry into the building is across a native stone walkway in the front during summer but through a year-round snow tunnel on the right side of the building during winter and early spring. The stones on the front walkway create an unlevel surface which presents navigation challenges for some. <br /><br />At the building entrance are trash and recycling containers. A native stone patio, and stone corners with low  wood railings surrounds a bank of windows, and provides a place for visitors to gather. <br /> <br />The front entry door is a large, wood, rustic-style door. Once inside, immediately to the right is a window opening to the Crater Lake Post Office, (check for current hours) a mail drop-slot, and a few framed posters sold in the park store. Approximately five to six steps forward from the front door is a hallway to the right. In nine steps up a slightly-sloped ramp, and to the right are the men’s restroom, a combination drinking fountain and water bottle filling station, and the women’s restroom. An outward swinging door to each restoom provides access to an accessible stall, toilets, and urinals respectively. A baby diaper changing station is found in the women’s restroom.<br /> <br />To the left of the front door is the visitor center, auditorium, and the park store operated by the Crater Lake Natural History Association. Rangers and park store personnel are available to answer your questions about the park and assist with travel plans. The space is small so there are no exhibits except for a relief model of the lake and caldera rim. You will find a variety of books, gifts, Junior Ranger and educational items for sale. A few comfy chairs are in front of an historic native stone, non-functional, fireplace. During summer the room is too crowded to linger but during winter the chairs offer a nice reprieve from the cold. A door next to the visitor center information desk leads into the auditorium which seats 37 people. Within three feet of entering the auditorium, there are two steps up, marked with yellow tape. Staff is available to safely assist everyone in finding an available seat.  A park video plays every hour and half hour. An audio described version is shown upon request.<br /><br />","emailAddress":"4897D7BAA2DAA1BA9BA91EAEED1EA4A3798F439E49B39F8B4C3FA0970D9881B0D8","telephoneDescription":"","visitorCenterImage":"/common/uploads/structured_data/64DE9F63-AABD-BDFC-56CF6FC01594D23C_thumb.png","telephoneNumberFax":"","mailing_address":{"line_3":"","city":"Crater Lake ","postal_code":"97604     ","line_2":"PO Box 7 ","line_1":"Crater Lake National Park ","state_code":"OR"},"name":"Steel Information Center","visitorCenterID":132,"telephoneNumberTty":"","operatingHours":{"1":{"exceptions":[{"holiday_start":0,"description":"The Steel Information Center hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM from early November through late April/early May each year.
