What Guests Are Saying
Butte Lake Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment with clean restrooms, spacious sites, and close proximity to the stunning Cinder Cone Trail and Butte Lake, making it ideal for outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. Many campers appreciated the tranquility and wildlife, as well as the friendly park staff. However, some noted issues with steeply inclined sites, dust from fast-moving vehicles, and limited ranger presence, which could detract from the experience.

great site, road and lower campsites flooded in an hour of heavy rain

The lake is pristine with a beautiful backdrop of the mountains. The hike through the lava fields to the cinder cone volcano is definitely worth it! Well maintained campground, sites easily marked and flushing toilets.
The 6 mile dirt road is a bit daunting, with all the washboard ruts, and dust.

Great quiet NP campground off the beaten path. Clean bathrooms and convenient dish washing area.
It will be good when the drinking water located at the Cinder Cone Trailhead is repaired, but that was the only negative of my time there.
Highly recommend.

Hike to the Cinder Cone is a must do as is kayaking Butte Lake. The campsites are large…the only issue we had was driving 6 miles on a dit road to get to the campsite.

Absolutely breathtaking. The lake was amazing. The campground was very nice. We will definitely go back. There is not cell service in most of the park so be prepared for that.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
