Thielsen View Campground

Thielsen View Campground is on the west shore of Diamond Lake in the Umpqua National Forest, 83 miles east of Roseburg. Majestic Mount Bailey looms nearby, but it is the magnificent views of Mt. Thielsen that gave the campground its name.

Diamond Lake is a favorite destination for summer travelers. Fishing, canoeing, and standup paddleboarding are popular. The lake has a 10 MPH speed limit. Cyclists and hikers take advantage of the 11-mile, paved trail around the lake. Crater Lake National Park is only 15 miles to the south.

Thielsen View Campground has 60 campsites in a mature conifer forest. Two-thirds of the sites are available for first-come, first-served; the other 20 may be reserved ahead of time. All the campsites can accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents.
