We loved our campsite spot (#26).
The host and hostess were very nice and pleasant and available.
We have an RV but we were told by friends that the bathrooms were in tip top shape.
There was an algea bloom on Lava lake so that hampered the water fun, but that isn't the campgrounds fault.
Thanks

The camp host 'Red' was available and kept busy touring the facility and keeping registrations in order.

Love love love this campground! Beautiful lake, lodge to rent boats, good water, cleanest vault toilets around! Mountain bike/hiking trails direct from the camp ground. A piece of OR heaven.

The campsites were on on the lake, as it looks like online. Some have trees for shade, some do not.
The toilets were super clean and we’ll maintained, thanks to the camp host! Very dusty, even with paved roads, every car that went by kicked up dust clouds.
The water quality was disappointing. Murky brown, some dead fish floating. I contacted Odfw and was told it was algae and there were too many chub. Also told me that odfw isn’t responsible for water quality, just the fish. Sad.
Nice hiking trails to little lava lake and around lava lake.
