Lightning Springs Backcountry Dispersed Campsite in Crater Lake National Park offers three primitive designated camping spots accessible via a 0. 8-mile hike from the trailhead, with reliable water access and no campfires allowed.

A backcountry permit is required and sites are assigned first-come, first-served; the middle site is the largest and best suited for groups.

The area is best visited mid-July through September when trails are snow-free, and offers solitude during off-peak times with nearby access to multiple hiking trails including the Pacific Crest Trail and West Rim Trail.
