Review Summary
Molly T
VerifiedAugust 19, 2026 • Stayed at: 007, Loop: Little Lava Lake
Overall great place to stay.
We stayed in #7. Had access to the river, however the river was dried up. Probably die to the dry year we have had.
There is a lot of day traffic as people come up to enjoy the lake. Very popular for paddleboards, kayaks and small fishing crafts...usually rowed or electric motors.
The road coming in has potholes big enough to swallow your car so go slow.
