Lava lake is such a wonderful place, nestled in the heart of the Oregon Cascades with Mt Bachelor and the South Sister in full view. Great for kids and adults alike! There is so much beauty here.

had fun boating for a day. a bit pricey for a pontoon.. but had some fun with the family!. the little store was awesome. had a good selection of snacks an drinks. souvenirs were reasonably priced. parking is a bit of a walk from the store if you're gonna stay an boat for a few hours but it's nothing to bad. the forest service toilet needs attention badly. but if you can handle that an enjoy the rest of your time it's nothing but a blimp on a great day. the lake is nice to swim in lots of chub fish near the dock... Chub nets near North end of lake. cool water reeds, was told there are lava tubes the feed the lake water from the snow run off into the ground cracks way up high on the old volcanoes an mountains..

Awesome time, can’t do anything about mosquitoes, but amazing views and comfortable campsite. Just get your firewood from the Lava Lake Resort because it’s cheaper and the camp host was nowhere to be seen.

We absolutely love this campground and little lake. Owners and staff are friendly and helpful.

Nice campgrounds and lodge. Private campground has hookups, but make reservations well in advance, as some families return year after year for their annual vacations. Be aware that the last two years have seen algae blooms in late July as the heat takes its toll on the lake. This year, Little Lava Lake also had algae blooms (which may or may not be toxic). That's a new phenomenon.

The campground was well kept and the camp host cleaned the toilets pretty clean. Beautiful view of the lake and Mt. Bachelor. However the lake had algae and was not safe for dogs or kids to swim in it. There were some boaters. We drove a few miles to swim in Elk lake everyday instead. There was a rustic resort with a store and shower (might need to pay) right by the campground.

Beautiful area! Rustic primitive campground with potable water. Lots of pretty trails and things to see. Wildlife all around. The resort next door rents boats and kayaks and has laundry and showers. This campground is reservation only, go to recreation.gov to make those.

Lake is really low right now. Otherwise awesome place.
