Over the long weekends in the summer, and July Fourth, and the Square Dance weekend at the lodge, all sites are likely to be taken early! Some of the F.S. sites are available for reservations.
Probably need to use "Back" to return here.

| Diamond Lake, Oregon. | ||||||||||||||||
| A mile high in the Oregon Cascade Mountains, Diamond lake is three miles long and one mile wide. It does freeze in winter. There are three National Forest Service campgrounds close to the lake, plus a lodge and an RV park. Over the long weekends in the summer, and July Fourth, and the Square Dance weekend at the lodge, all sites are likely to be taken early! Some of the F.S. sites are available for reservations. |

| It might not relate to "camping", but it does show - like the previous photo - we expect our vehicles to work hard. Bales of insulation for the house attic during the 1970's "energy crunch". | ||||||||||||||||
