The lake and the campground were amazing as always. Aside from a grumpy cg host (that the rangers set straight in a hurry), the trip was great!

The tent sites lacked space for your tent unless you wanted to pitch it on the asphalt. I need pens to keep mine up, so that didn't work well. Otherwise, a great spot with quick access to the lake.

Sites were very well spaced from each other. Vault toilets were kept clean, well stocked, and almost bug free! Beach was in close proximity to campground with room for everyone to enjoy. We will definitely be reserving at this campground again

We love Lake Alva campground. We have gone 3 years in a row now. Such a good family friendly area. Bathrooms are very clean as well which is a bonus when sleeping outdoors for several days.

Nice, well maintained campground. All paved is nice although most of the sites are somewhat narrow but definately doable. Would stay here again. Basically a no wake lake that kayakers and stand up paddleboarders will like.

So quiet and peaceful. Beautiful lake. We enjoyed the drive to Holland Lake and the hike to falls.

The lake itself is wonderful and listening to the loons during the night is worth the stay. There's the classic, engraved, wooden sign showing the roads and sites when entering the campground and a water hydrant that is obviously out of service. What you don't know is where to find potable water. There was no notice on the board or notation on the map. It's not easy to find if you roll into camp late and need to pitch a tent before night fall, etc. There were no camp hosts. My site didn't have a nice flat place for a tent except right next to the fire pit, where the ground is really dusty. People were mostly respectful of the quiet hours and this place is busy with lots of families staying for several days at a time, so it seemed to me. Great location, no helpful person on site, no clearly marked map showing potable water access.

During stage 2 restrictions, a camper near us got a visit from forest service water tender who “doused” their campfire! It was awesome! Clean restrooms and nice campgrounds
