Great place. Very nice host. Hiking trails close. Great store close with ice, beer and firewood. Make sure you reserve an outside loop site.

We really liked our site (Loop 1, site 3). It backed up on the forest, wasn't right next to the toilet, and had good separation from the adjacent sites.

Beautiful campsite and absolutely gorgeous lake. Perfect for stargazing. I wish the prices were lower, but the place was clean and nice. The vault toilet was clean, and the property was well kept

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

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!

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.
