What Guests Are Saying
The Butte Lake Group campground features well-spaced sites, offering a beautiful setting with easy access to a stunning lake and the Cinder Cone hike. While there were issues with a rude ranger and limited facilities, the overall experience was positive, highlighted by a later friendly ranger and the campground's amenities like flush toilets. The rough access road is noted, but the tranquility and scenery make it worthwhile.

Stayed 2 nights before labor day weekend during COVID. Great campsite with easy access to Cinder Cone Trailhead and Butte Lake. Flushing toilets and clean sinks for easy access to water.

Group camp sites are big but not well marked and it's hard to tell where your site begins and ends . They are also really close to each other someone in our groups tent was about ten feet away from another group's tent. The lake is nice, really clear but it doesn't have a lot of beach area. Overall the camp is nice though. Running water in bathroom and outdoor sinks which is great. Bear lockers hold a lot we fit two coolers and some bags. Only bad thing was bugs! SO MANY BUGS! Bring your spray and citronella candles!

This is just a wonderful, wonderful location. The campground is fairly busy, but for a good reason. Can't recommend highly enough.

This was advertised as a "private" group campground and that could not be further from the truth! It is a lovely camp site, lots of room but there are people everywhere.
The only other problem we had were bees. And I mean LOTS of bees. About half of our group got stung at least once with some multiple times. The bees were everywhere and eating was miserable. I would consider going back if not for that.
The hiking and kayaking were great
