A short drive from Crater Lake National Park, Klamath Falls, Oregon makes for a great base for RV campers exploring both Crater Lake and the surrounding Umpqua National Forest, as well as Lava Beds National Monument, just over the border in California. While many visitors use Klamath Falls as a base for visiting Southern Oregon and Northern California attractions, the city is a destination unto itself, offering great hiking and boating, plus easy access to the whitewater rapids of the Klamath River. RV camping options in and around town run the gamut, from urban RV parks with dump stations and laundry facilities to privately owned RV campsites on land where RVers can park their RV, campervan, or big rig for a modest fee. Nearby Collier Memorial State Park also offers full hookup sites,although they tend to book up well in advance.
