Our Opinion: Recommend. Roomy sites, lovely rivers nearby, pleasant walking trails, interesting logging museum, and reasonably close proximity to Crater Lake.
Our first visit to Collier Memorial State park was two years ago, when we used it was a base camp to visit Crater Lake. On this visit, we stayed two night, October 7-8.
A few things have changed:
The Discovery Season rate increased $4/night, to $17. Still a very good rate for a spacious, paved FHU site (50 amps) in a very nicely maintained campground. Still first-come, first served (no reservations taken). We arrived on Friday at noon and had our pick of many sites; folks arriving later on Friday had fewer choices, but the campground was not full on Friday or Saturday night.
When we visited in 2009, no local NPR station was available. You can now pick up Jefferson Public Radio, the NPR broadcast for southern Oregon and northern California, on 90.9 FM.
Click here to read our full review from our first visit, which has been updated to reflect changes since our 2009 visit. By the way, there is a truck stop travel plaza 3 miles south on highway 97 (east side), at the KlaMoYa Casino. Gas and diesel (with truck pumps); easy access for big rigs.
