Campsites are very very close together, so if you want privacy, this isn't for you.
It is a nice campground though and mostly well-maintained. Bathrooms on our last day were pretty bad, so I think consistency on busy weekends is needed.
Nice having the store right there to be able to buy ice or just treats for kids.

Nice quite campground. We got a camp site no. 028. It’s a big site with 5 minutes’ walk to boat launch. There is a restroom close by. We were there on early July which is very hot during a day and close to 30’F at night. We and our dog had great time kayaking in both Lave Lake and Little Lava lake.
