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

Fantastic campground hosts - informative, friendly, and the spaces were spotless. The sites are spacious, tucked into the trees.
Bonus - we enjoyed the walk to Little Lava Lake for a change of scenery.

Over Labor Day weekend we stayed in site 35. We have a 32 ft trailer and was able to back it into the site without much trouble and it was fairly level. This site is next to a path that connects Little Lava Lake and Lava Lake campgrounds and access to the path cannot be hindered by your vehicle(s) or trailer.
Note that Lava Lake Campground has water available, but no electricity and it is in the mountains which equals dirt, pitch, and bugs. It also (depending on the time of year you stay) is warm-hot during the day, but gets cold at night. So pack accordingly.
Site 35 is back of site living meaning the picnic table and fire ring are at the rear of the site vs. on the right side of your trailer. This really didn’t pose an issue for us, the terrain between the picnic table / fire ring to the trailer site was free of tripping hazards. This site also provided some great shade, which enhanced its privacy level.
Lava Lake resort is a short walk from Lava Lake campground and has a small store and is very well maintained. It has a dump station that can be used for a fee of $2.00.
Little Lava Lake and campground is also very nice, however the road into the campground is slightly washed out.
The camp host(s) we’re very friendly and attentive, but didn’t hover. The bathrooms were cleaned daily.
Most of the picnic tables that I noticed needed replacement as they were very worn, but still usable.
Must see-destinations include Todd Lake and hiking up to no name lake and we actually spent more time paddling on Little Lava Lake and Hosmer Lake than Lava Lake.
