Went in the middle of the week and the campground wasn't quite full. The bathroom was very clean.

I would have given the campground a 5 star but the water was not working so potable water was an issue. The lake was not as clear as normal either and was low. Fishing was OK.

There are only a few large trees left in this forested campground, most trees now are small and it seemed disappointing from a forest health point of view. The lake is lovely with views of the volcanoes in the background. It's less developed than some of the other lakes to the north. So if you have your own boat, it's wonderful to go out in the morning, but the winds can easily pick up in the afternoon. There's a delightful old 1950's cabin at the edge of the lake and the campground, which is now a store. There are a few old roads for mountain biking. Elk Lake to the north has an interesting old guard station and canoe rentals if you don't own a boat.

Great place to have a quiet camp and sites are good size. The lake is a quite lake no recreation water craft only fishing and no beach front but about 20 minutes away is a happening beach front and another across the lake at a public resort set up.

Had reservations at Quinn River then was going to Lava Lake. Arrived at Lava Lake to find the water system non- functional and the Host had abruptly pulled out, both features are why I choose to stay at this campground. I did not stay, I went back to my site at Quinn River and paid for additional day there. I contacted Rec.gov, filed a complaint and requested a refund based on failure to have features standard at the facility. Refund was awarded. Had hoped that Deschutes Recreation operations would be significantly better than the sub-standard performance by Hoodoo Recreations in the past, but Deschutes performance at Lava Lake was absolutely unacceptable. In My opinion USFS should RFP for campground operation in the Deschutes National Forest and replace Deschutes Recreation as the vendor for these facilities
