CAMP HOSTS WERE GREAT, TAKING REALLY GOOD CARE OF SITES AFTER CHECKOUT.
SOME CAMPERS WERE EXCESSIVELY LOUD LATE INTO THE NIGHT (AFTER MIDNIGHT), BUT THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED AT ANY CAMPGROUND.

Had a neighbor that was not considerate about quiet at nights or running their mini bikes around the campground.
Also, mosquitos were vicious this year.

Lava Lake was an absolutely amazing get away! If you’re looking for limited cell service and beautiful high lakes, this is perfect.
