Overall a good spot with clean facilities. The mosquitoes were thick in June and some of the campsites don't have a lot of shade so plan accordingly!

This campground is on Lava Lake. We had a very relaxing stay. It is well maintained. Plenty to do with trails for hiking and biking from the campground. It has a good boat ramp to launch boats and other water craft. We stayed during the week and it was not crowded. We have stayed here for the past three years in August. Lots to do in the area.

Didn’t have our name on site even though we reserved. No camp host for 3 days. Could use some tree maintenance.

There are 2 small beaches on either side of boat ramp, but family's are using dock for their water fun making it hard for boaters to use ramp. Kayakers also need to be aware. I am a kayaker and stay to the farthest side of ramp. Please be considerate.

I love Lava Lake. The campground is always clean and the sites are typically really, really large. Even the tent-only sites have room for multiple tents and space. Great service now, too. I had two-three bars on Verizon. Always availability and good access to the lake.
