This place was great get away. It's close to lava lake with in walking distance and little lava lake. It has restrooms which where clean. Also there is water there too. You just need to bring something to put it in. We used a long hose to fill up our travel trailer, but you could pull up next to one and fill tank before parking in your site. The host was really nice people and great to talk too.
Over all a great place to setup and go see other lakes and mountains. Will be going again.

Noisy, some people run generators ALL day. Boat launch very very busy even on a smoky Tuesday. Stayed in tent section, neighbors smoking cigarettes in pit toilet and in campsite. Camp host unable to find to report, no sign if on or off duty. Glad this year they didn't allow campfires with extreme fire danger, like they did last year when all the high winds caused the huge fires in Oregon. Looked fairly clean, esp after the busy holiday weekend.
