No water available due to algae which required us to drive to Lava Lake campground and use their water. The water issue meant no swimming in Little Lava and detracted from this nice area.

A wonderful campground. We miss the days when there were paid camp hosts available, but we still love the lake and the trees.

The water system at Little Lava Lake campground was contaminated. We had to haul water from Little Lava Lake Resort. There was no camp host at either Little Lava Lake campground or Lava Lake campground. We have camped here for 3 years and at no time has the road ever been graded or rocked, ever! Noo trees have been trimmed along the entry road ruining many trailers. No improvements ever happen at this campground. The bathrooms were kept clean by us campers.
Why is there not a camp host? Why don't you hire a retired couple who loves to camp, to come oversee the campground?
Hire me and my husband ! I love this campground.
Please do a few improvements. Other campgrounds in the area are better taken care of.

I was at Little Lava twice the summer of 2019. It is a marvelous place but the drinking water was found to be contaminated on my first stay and this was not corrected by the later stay. Evidently the forest service will have to repair it and were in no hurry. By the way, the group sites are not that great and the concession wanted to charge $250 per night until it was reduced in late summer.
