Umpqua National Forest and Crater Lake National Park

We did some boon-docking in Umpqua National Forest.  Boon-docking has no hook ups so you are totally self contained.  We have done this before and enjoy it.  It means some changes in how you use your resources but not really any sacrifices in terms of quality of living.  One of the reasons we like it is the camp sites tend to be larger, generally more natural and they put you in the park you want to see.  We have found that all campers are friendly but tent campers and those boon-docking are especially nice.

From Umpqua NF we drove about 30 minutes to Crater Lake NP.

Yes the water is really that blue!
