About this campground

Crescent Creek is a small campground that is somewhat isolated from other campgrounds in the area. It is relatively quiet and offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty and recreational opportunities of the eastern Cascade Range.

Crescent Creek Campground can accommodate RV, trailer or tent-campers however water and electric hookups are not available. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill and the campground has vault toilets available.

Crescent Creek Campground is located just a short distance from Crescent Lake, Odell Lake and Davis Lake allowing visitors the option to visit many of the South Cascade Lakes. A forest of lodgepole pine provides the backdrop to this area, with mountain hemlock, fir and spruce also in the mix. Wildlife found in the area includes deer, native fish and migratory birds.

The close proximity to the South Cascade Lakes provides visitors plenty of recreational options nearby. Nearby Davis Lake, Odell Lake and Crescent Lake are prime locations for boating, fishing and swimming. The Summit Lake Trail is popular among hikers and mountain bikers, offering excellent views of Diamond Peak. This is one of the most productive wildlife areas in central Oregon. Add a superb view of Cascade peaks at no charge and you have a truly special place to visit.

What campers say

Crescent Creek Campground is a small, quiet, well-kept site with creek access and good brook trout fishing. Sites are flat and roomy, with several pull-through spots that accommodate motorhomes and trailers; however, the single-lane gravel approach can make meeting another large RV difficult. Facilities are basic but clean—pit toilet and a hand pump for water (not reliably potable). Mosquitoes can be severe at times, especially near wet areas, so tent campers should be cautious. Limited sites fill quickly, so plan to arrive early or have a backup plan.
