My experience of this park was camping a couple of nights in my bus. Not sure if the park consist of any more than a lot full of campers, and a couple of pit toilets. A large sign makes it clear that camping is limited to 14 days. From my interactions with some of the other campers, it seems like the campers there may vary from short to longer-termers, but I didn’t come right out and ask anyone if they had been there more than 14 days (not my business, not my problem), but I did get asked if I knew “Ryan,” as though I was maybe supposed to know my neighbors at a campsite by name. The context of this conversation was I someone trying to find something that had been stolen from another camper, so points given for looking out for one another, and taken for there being theft apparently. The proximity of the highway and the freight rail line make this not the most serene location to sleep, but then again it was a free parking lot to crash in, so I’m not complaining.
Theres a pond that makes the park relaxing. As well as a underground river that flows out right there by the park. This water is safe to drink flowing from the mountain. Free 14 day camping. Please everyone clean up after yourselves to keep this park free. With Klamath falls about 8 miles away for site seeing and attractions. It is perfect
Restrooms are clean. The whole park is actually pretty clean and maintained. Has quite a few camping spots. Most have picnic tables and fire rings. Plenty of room for Rvs, pull behind campers, tents, etc. Some shade. Dog friendly and I have seen people fishing in the small ponds as well as a few small boats pull in for the Klamath Lake on the other side of the highway. You can camp here for free for 14 days.
Met some crack head here but he was a chiller. also saw a blue crawfish here so top notch experience
Went kinda late in afternoon, was not crowded. I like we can park and get on the 4 wheeler and go up the Mountain or relax under some beautiful trees that shade picnic tables. All around nice place for the day or free camping up to 2 weeks.. no hook ups but theres restrooms. They stock the pond too.
Quiet place to stop and get some sleep in your car for the night. 14 day limit.
A neat little place to stop and stretch your legs while on a long drive....
Love the park! Good fishing!
Nice stop to make a fire and camp 14 day max but its not the nicest place
Nice park at one time. Dozen of homeless campers and a guy stopping an abandoned car. Toilets, water faucet without handle, unknown if it would work.
It was beautiful, it had a small lake that fed off of Klamath Lake making memories thatll last forever.
This is a great little park to get away from town. There is not much there to bring a lot of people, so its a great place to just get away and relax for a little while.
Loved it the free camping was nice a little close to the road but better than paying 25$ for a tent spot
Lovely view. Clean grounds.
Nice little park just off the Hwy. Great place to give the dog a break. Small pond, camping spots with 14 day max stay. Clean bathroomI would give this park a solid 4 but a few transients have found it, several old faded motor homes on site and a lady living in her car. They are trashing it up.
Fresh spring water thete is unbelievable
Hot really hot but a good sorce of qood up the hill next to it
It would be a good free campground, but there are many people who stay there long and the stench from the bathrooms and pond is unbearable. Also, the freeway is right there and makes it nearly impossibly to sleep comfortably.
3 feet from a busy highway and very loud. this park is full of dirty people that live there all summer. Would be great for small kids if it wasnt a hangout for the homeless.
Very pleasant over night stop.on our way south. very quiet, no cost, no hookups. Rest rooms on site.a very nice creek. a fine little park in the midst of farm lands.The park is very well designed to provide maximum use of the creek so every one can get their feet wet and cool off. like a story book setting from a 1930s novel..there were many hawks and eagles.An excellent, clean, low cost stop if your on the road.much quieter than rest stops. :-)
Really chill quiet place to camp near enough to do whatever you need in Klamath falls
Free, bathrooms, water spicket direct from the spring, good fishing.
It is a small but interesting park. Theres quite a few people camping there right now.
Tucked away next to HWY 97, Haglestien Park is a great little get away with a picturesque pond. Good spot to stop and use the restroom and get some fresh air or for those of you headed up to Crater Lake (or enjoying the surrounding wilderness) this is a great FREE camping spot. If you cant afford the steep prices up at Crater Lake (or you just need a place to catch some shut eye before driving the rest of the way up) Haglestien is a great option. You can camp for up to 14 days for free and check out the awesome Klamath County for cheap! Plus youre right across the highway from the beautiful Klamath Lake. (Pro tip: stay on HWY 97 and take the turn out just past where youd exit to get to Haglestien Park. Theres a small road that goes up the mountain and is easy to miss. Once you get to the top youll have sweeping views of Klamath Lake unlike any other you can find in the Basin. Itll really take your breathe away I promise. If you continue on a short ways, after the road turns to dirt, there are a few secluded camping spots overlooking the lake with fire pits already built. Just be warned, you will have to return down the mountain to Haglestien if you want to use to potty in private!)
Poorly cared for sort of delapated, run down, deadgrass.
Thats a pretty sketchy park/campground. Right next to the highway too. I wasnt comfortable to stay there overnight... On the plus side there seemed to be a couple of adorable marmots (?) hanging out...
Looks to be a free camping area with about 10 sites. Signs state a max stay of 14 nights. We stopped just to use the bathroom which was relatively clean. Vault style toilets with lots of flies but pretty clean inside.
Clean and convenient.
Free camp sites with fire pits, picnic tables and pit toilets. Located right off Hwy 97 with usual traffic noise. Nice park setting with pond.
Awesome, watched a man glide his parachute down and land in a nearby field !
Bathrooms are clean and is very quiet and beautiful pond
So many homeless people living there it was scary & gross we wont go back
Beautiful place. HORRIBLE ROADS. FILTHY REST ROOMS!!! My husband and I opened the door and were both hit by a WALL of flies!!!! Yeck!
Park isnt very good, but the access to the forest road directly behind the park opens up a world of adventure.
To many homeless people the place is so fight dirty trash every were.
Four stars because you get what you pay for. My family camped here in September, shortly after labor day. It was close to the freeway and train tracks, and all night we were serenaded by big rigs and locomotives. It was very buggy, due to the marshy swamp nearby. On the plus side, it was free. Also, the toilets were clean and well supplied with TP, and we had the place nearly to ourselves (one other group was camping out). The coolest thing we saw there was a rookery of at least twenty white egrets in a nearby tree. They all flew in around dusk, and it was amazing to see so many all at once.
Small, right off 97 both of Klamath falls, camping, restroom, water, small pond. Great stop if youre driving doing a long trip and need a place to rest.
Small but fun trek along streams fresh from the mountain. Several camp sites & lovely mini ecosystem ~ Fun
Clear beautiful water. You can watch as the fish bite and catch hold if your hook. Have a source of drinking water. Winds can gets high in evening through out the night.
We wanted to stop for lunch and let our kids run around a bit. But...Gnats/Flies everywhere. An obvious homeless encampment along the creek. The restrooms had not been serviced in a long time. The only thing this park has for it is it was nice and quiet...
This place oh and btw iron man dies in endgame
This park if you could call it that is a mosquito infested nightmare from whatever negative force you believe in. There is no real organized layout or any amenities. Well one bathroom. This is a no human being habitation zone.
The park is small and a bit noisy since its right next to Highway 97. There is a spring there with a large trout in it, the water flows out as a shallow stream that goes under the highway and the railroad tracks and flows out into the Upper Klamath Lake.
Needs more attention lot of riff raff pour in and camp out and it is posted no over night camping but you sure can see alot of questionable campers there for weeks as you drive by on highway 97. Not saying its not a safe place to stop use the restrooms if they are open but there are better facilities 10 miles north or south of it.
Great place to stretch
Quiet. Plenty of fish, you can see huge ones in water, not a lot biting though. Clean, free camping.
Nice place to let the dogs run when you are traveling.
Nice stop along the way
I dont have a reason
This IS a state funded homeless encampment. Stopped here to stretch my legs, and was greeted by some homeless people who wanted me to stay and party with them. They told me the person who takes care of the park says they are not supposed to stay more than 7 days, but as long as they dont start any fights they dont care how long they stay.This place has Porta Potties, with no TP. Plenty of BBQ pits and piknic tables for all the FREE camping your heart desires. That is, if the homeless havent completely taken over the park.If there was a small fee associated with staying overnight, this would have been a pleasant stop for me and my family, but instead we got back into the car to make it to another rest stop.
Very nice place to stop and have a picnic.
The park itself is okay, but the real draw is the view from the forest service road on the hillside above the park.
Beautful
Great place to kyack!
Beautiful as always!!
Looks dumpy
To close to the highway and train tracks .
Free. Toilets. Swimming and fishing.
Free camping and bathrooms
Love it
It was cold
Not much there
Great park
Clean porta potties
Awesome
Tried to go fishing there yesterday. There were people living there. Couldnt get to the water. Looked like it was filled with druggies and homeless people
Right off freeway noisy
Free place to camp for night ... yes the bugs can be bad in some seasons... but it is not a homeless incampment...
Free camping, 40 minute ride to Crater Lake, water was shut off though...
Amazing park
We hoped for views of the lake but only found bugs.
