Fun campground. Great size sites. Great for kids to bike around. Great for fishing.
Docking stars for no great spot for kids to swim, trucks driving too fast through the campground to and from the boat ramp, poorly maintained docks, and boat ramps, vault toilets, and worst of all nowhere to wash your hands after using the toilets (really gross).

Nice well spaced site (23) & easy to back into with our 32’ trailer. Lots of dumpsters nearby & clean restrooms!

Campground and campsite was clean and quiet! I went for the Perseid Meteor Shower and was not disappointed. The boat dock area provided access to open sky viewing!!
I'll be back next August!

Wonderful campground! Site 25 was a bit tight to back a 28-ft trailer into but once we were in, there was plenty of room. Big mostly private spaces. Resort was nearby to get needed supplies. Lake was beautiful. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Picnic table was low to the ground and in poor shape. Needs replacing.

Great little spot right on the lake, with the Lava Lake Resort next door and dozens of lakes all around for hiking, kayak and SUPing, etc. Pretty forests all around. Vault toilets are clean and not smelly. Go ahead and book for an Old School, lake resort feeling.

Wow! Lovely, fun, great resources with the lodge store and proximity to Bend. Would recommend getting Campsite 9 on loop 1 for its closeness to the boat ramp!

The campground was quiet and nice. Only complaint is that there was no toilet paper for the last 24 hours of our stay….
