Little Lava Lake

The lake was great the sites are as good as you’d expect for dry camping. We enjoyed being just a short walk to the lake. We will come back.

The lake is lovely however the vault toilets were absolutely FILTHY.I have done a lot of camping and these were the worst I have ever seen by far. The doors were flimsy plywood with gaps around the edges letting in large amounts of flies.

We love Central Oregon. This is our second year staying at this campground. The campsites are spacious and well situated to ensure privacy (as much as you can expect in a campground). It was a bit dusty, but that was probably due to heat and dry conditions. Mosquitoes -- some, but not too bothersome. The water source here is a bit iffy, but we were able to fill our water tank (ALiner popup trailer) at the Lava Lake Resort. There are vault toilets, which are getting a little old, but they are kept scrupulously clean by the camp hosts and hey -- you're camping! All in all, another great adventure!

Wonderful lake with gorgeous views and lots of wildlife. Site #12 is closest to the lake. Lake was a little mucky and not clear due to heat (some algae growth), but still very pleasant. Big enough lake to feel like you get some privacy. Outhouse by boat ramp was not clean (lots of flies). Outhouse further up the road in the campsite loops much cleaner though still very stinky, as outhouses are. Might be wise to keep doors of outhouses open to promote airflow during COVID. Overall lovely campground and would come again.

Little Lava Lake campground is small and each site is large and spaced away from any adjoining sites. Many are on the water. The lake is a wonderful green color and at least in August was swimmable. There is a small boat launch. It never felt crowded and pit toilets were kept clean. Some mosquitoes but never so many that it became bothersome. Very peaceful place and easy access to other nearby lakes and hikes.
