The mosquitoes at site 2 were off the charts. I’ve been all over the US, idk those skeeters destroyed us. We had spray and candles but there was no wind at that site. We never got a break, I had at least 50 bites on my legs through my pants.

Beautiful scenery, nice large spot (9), and a well stocked store. The only reason this wouldn't be a 5/5 is due to the mass, unrelenting swarm of mosquitos. Granted, this comes with the territory when one camps in June.

The drought has really taken a toll on Little Lava Lake. The water level was so low, that in the first week of August the stream next to the campground was bone dry. The lake also had a toxic algae bloom, which made water play inadvisable. (Suggest that you go to the Beach Day Use area at Elk Lake for swimming and boating.)

Our 27' Travel trailer (29' title) was a challenge to get into site 14.
Pit toilets were cleaned each day.
