"Moraine Lake is a popular camp spot for those climbing South Sister in Oregon. We went during a weekday to attempt to "beat the crowds" and did so somewhat successfully.
The view overlooking both Moraine Lake and South Sister is breathtaking and well worth the short hike to the lake.
If you're feeling up to it, the grueling trek up to the summit of South Sister is unbeatable - just go early to avoid a crowded peak.
Also, close your tent because the chipmunks will steal your food!"

An extraordinary moment captured as the fire paints ribbons of life on a starry night in the Cherokee National Forest.
Camp Deception
It’s a slight bummer when the reverse gear of your 1975 VW Bus craps out while parked near a steep drop-off, but at least you can still camp out in it while waiting for the overall situation to improve.
Hotel Prius
Compact car camping means you can still sleep comfortably along with the gear you actually need, all while taking advantage of the great mileage to get to the best campspots around.
