About
Overview
The Crescent Lake Yurts are located within Crescent Lake Campground on the northwestern shore of Crescent Lake at the eastern base of the Cascade mountain range.
Recreation
The Crescent Lake area offers a wide-variety of recreation opportunities. The Crescent Lake Day Use Area provides boat launch access to the lake. Crescent Lake is a popular destination for boating, swimming, fishing and paddling.
Fawn Lake Trailhead departs from the Crescent Lake Campground and Day Use Area providing hiking access into the Diamond Peak Wilderness.
Facilities
The Crescent Lake Yurts feature three individual yurt sites located within the Crescent Lake Campground. Furnished yurts include one bunkbed with one double and one single mattress, one double futon, table and chairs and a wood stove. Each yurt site also features a fire ring and picnic table.
During summer months, visitors have access to drinking water within the Crescent Lake Campground. Yurts do not have electricity. Visitors should be prepared to bring their own linens, cooking utensils and lighting source.
Natural Features
Crescent Lake sits within a glaciated basin behind a moraine dam east of the Cascade mountain range in northern Klamath County. From within the Crescent Lake basin, visitors will catch views of Diamond Peak and the unique Cowhorn Mountain. Crescent Lake is a popular recreation destination with brilliant blue-green water and sandy beaches.
The Crescent Lake Yurts are situated within a predominately ponderosa pine stand on the western edge of the Crescent Lake Campground.
