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 small campground. We enjoyed kayaking on the small lakes in the area.

Location beautiful. Site great. Well maintained and no issues with the reservation. Nearby Lava Lake Resort has a small store to buy firewood, mosquito defense, snacks, essentials, and gifts. Hikes and fishing right there. Overall rating lower only because the mosquitos were so bad we are unlikely to return and wouldn’t recommend. But we can’t control nature, only our attitude and I am glad we had the adventure. Another time of year or if mosquitoes don’t concern you, this campsite is for you.

Nice lake to fish. No paddle boarders, and the pressure is very low… fished with maybe 4-5 others on the lake. And not as windy/choppy as big brother Lava Lake.

We originally were staying at site 13, but our neighbors in 14 had two dogs they let roam without leashes. They came to our site and charged our dogs (who were leashed, in our laps, in control, and are very reactive). It wasn't fun. They claimed they were "friendly", but obviously were not trained enough to be put in this situation.
Lucky for us, those neighbors cut their stay short and left the next morning, leaving their site unoccupied for the remainder of our stay. We decided to move to their site, 14, and really enjoyed it. The hosts were very friendly and accommodated our move.
It was beautiful, and we were gracious/tolerant hosts to many of those free-loading mosquitoes. Next time we will be bringing a netted shelter!
