What is the closest timeshare to Crater Lake? What is the best time of the year to go, etc.?

Thanks,

Eric

The closest timeshare would be Running Y in Klamath Falls. The next closest, and a more interesting/active area in general, would be in the SunRiver Resort area (about 2hrs north of CL, and about 10 miles south of Bend, OR). There are a few timeshares there (The Pines, Stoneridge Townhomes are a couple I can think of). About a half hour further north from SunRiver is Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond, OR.

IMHO, any time in July, August or early September would be a good time to visit Crater Lake.

Agreed! We visited CL when we stayed at Eagle Crest. Really nice resort and lots to do. CL is very beautiful. Definitely worth a trip there in the summer. When we were there the July 4th week, some areas up there still have snow on the ground.

NORTH ENTRANCE CLOSED right now! By the time we got up via South road, it got dark.

Top of mountain is snow 15' deep. Climbed up to take a look at lake.

Restrooms were open and heated, but all buildings were closed.

May is NOT a good time for CL.

Crater Lake looks better in pictures than in real life, imo. I wouldn't waste my time there again.
