Lovely little campground. Very close to little lava lake which was great for kayaking. Also, a short bike ride away from Lava Lake. Little store which had food and other supplies was great as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Little Lava Lake is a lovely, quiet lake. Perfect for lazily paddling around in. The campground is small -which kept it from being crowded or rowdy. The only downsides were the mosquitoes and the smelly pit toilet. Otherwise a blissful camping experience.

Little Lava Lake is beautiful, but the campground itself - while clean- is a little worse for the wear. The campground rules and not enforced, and the whole area is pretty well trampled… a lot of the natural vegetation is gone, meaning little to no privacy between campsites (despite the campsites being HUGE). Most of the sites are being treated like group camps. There are only two small vault toilets and no dumpsters - just a few regular sized trash cans and cars parked everywhere. People set up chairs and shade tents on the boat dock area making it a challenge to get to the lake. Nextdoor at Lava Lake it looks much nicer and better maintained. I love this area, but at this point it’s at risk of being too loved and is in desperate need of rehabilitation.

Favorite low key campground that was super quiet. Had a great visit and will be back! Make sure to bring bug spray

Beautiful but the lake was heavily covered with algae. We were advised it was not the dangerous blue green toxic algae but it was too disgusting to enjoy the water for with swimming or boating. The restroom sad clean & the campers polite.
