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 wouldnt recommend. But we cant control nature, only our attitude and I am glad we had the adventure. Another time of year or if mosquitoes dont concern you, this campsite is for you.

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 its at risk of being too loved and is in desperate need of rehabilitation.

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.

Quiet. THANK THE GREAT CAMPING GODS THERE WERE NO GENERATORS IN USE, SO BEAUTIFULLY QUIET.
#12 has a view of the lake, easy walk to put in our kayak. Neighbors had NO GENERATORS, so blissfully quiet.
Clean toilets, access to trails, easy drive to other lakes, plus NO GENERATORS. Lovely groups of folks at a few neighboring sites, plus the group site, all of whom had NO GENERATORS.
