Campsites are strung out for two miles along the shore of Diamond Lake. Most sites can be reserved but there are a good number of first come/first serve sites so getting a site without a reservation is possible. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, showers, and a dump station.
As to be expected the most popular sites are along the water. The ground slopes towards the lake so many of the sites near the water are very unlevel. It looks like the people in tents could roll down the hill!
None of the sites are designated as accessible but many are usable. We asked for a level one and were given site A 17 which has a wide parking pad, and roomy table area. It's fairly private with large trees for shade. There's a slight slope to the picnic table.
The ten mile John Dellenbeck Trail circles the lake and can be accessed from the campground. We parked in the north end boat ramp for easy access and walked/rolled in both directions. One way leads to a little resort community; the other way passes through the campground. The trail uses roads and parking lots in these areas and we were confused about where to go so we only did about a mile in total. The trail should be easier to follow once out of the populated section. Campground Trail 43.1659, -122.13199
