This campground is amazing! I love the spacious, wooded campsites, the clean bathrooms, the attentive campground host, the numerous hiking trails, and the peaceful lake!

Very beautiful Lake! The ground at campsite B38 was soft and uneven. It is a pull thru. Also there were many burned large logs on the ground. Our grandaughter loved touching the black burned charcoal logs and getting black soot on her hands, face and clothes. Many chipmunks were eager to share whatever food we dropped. Lots of fun for all of the family. We had a 26 ft travel trailer. Our site didnt have much trafic and was fairly close to the flush toliets.

On my short list of campgrounds indefinitely! Went during the hellish 2020 fire season we had and this place was a sanctuary from all the smoke that choked the west. The pull off from the highway leads you onto a loose gravel road for a few miles that eventually gets you to Butte Lake. No need to worry, any car with a normal clearance will be able to make it on the loose gravel road. Saw a Prius zip through the road and if a Prius can do it, you can too. The campground is pretty standard run of the mill but there is running water and flushed toilets on site which is a plus. Pack in your own firewood or bring an axe since all dead AND down tree is fair game on federal land. No campsite host but during our stay CAL FIRE and NPS Ranger made their daily rounds. The campground within LOOP B is pretty evenly spaced except the campsite within the inner loop. Definitely aim for the outer sites. ONLY LOOP B is reservable and LOOP A is first-come-first-serve during open season. LOOP B is a 10-min walking distance to Butte Lake and even better, it's a 10 min walk to the Cinder Cone trailhead, which is a must if you're staying here. The hike is definitely difficult to get to the top of the Cinder Cone but well worth it if you're going to stay at Butte Lake. Even a hike pass the lava fields up to the cinder cone or around it is pretty amazing. After a strenuous hike, take a dip in Butte Lake which has a nice beach area and many nice soft sandy locations to spend a day on the lake. If you have kayaks/paddleboard/canoes, definitely bring them. Plan to spend one to two full days here in order to get the best of this campsite and Butte Lake !
