Some mention

"User reviews highlight the park's proximity to Crater Lake and its family-friendly amenities. While many praise the cleanliness and spaciousness of the campsites, others note that the lack of privacy between sites, dust, and noise from nearby highways can detract from the experience. The 2020 wildfire has significantly changed the landscape, reducing vegetation and campsite seclusion."
