Someone was in our campsite at 5 PM. Nobody around, camp host was not there until the next day. Lucky there were some open sites available.

Love this place. Been there a couple of times what a view and nice campgrounds. No water there so make sure to bring your own.

It is a great campground, beautiful and peaceful. The sites were generally private and ample in size. The hike around the lake is nice, more of a stroll but well worth it. As well, the trail from the lake up to Tahk Tahk Meadows and the lava field is equally easy and well worth the time.
The gravel section of the road on the way up could use some maintenance to shave down the endless washboards. Not sure how often that gets scheduled but I'd say it needs it now.

It was fun and a nice rural getaway butttt I paid $10 on top of $40 for booking to change the date of my reservation and someone was in my spot when I got there… at first I thought someone took my spot but my name was not on the campsite but instead said the person was paid through the next day. I was able to find the last site that wasn’t reserved yet and told the person there wahr happened but I would love a refund for at least my $10 change fee since I paid $50 to not have my spot when I could’ve pulled up and paid $22 for the spot I found.
