One of my most favorite campsites. Huge spaces but know there is no local water or sewage hook ups. Stars are incredibly. Walks nearby amazing.

Great location. Very very dusty. Wish the road in was paved but the area is awesome! Be prepared for the gravel road. It's not too rough but clouds of dust. The campground is next to the road so whenever a vehicle comes in... Well worth the effort! Cinder Cone is incredible! ❤️

Pretty descent campgrounds. Each spot has a fire ring, garage bins with locking cover, and a picnic table. There are also many dry toilets and flushing toilets throughout the site. The Butte Lake is just a short walk away and the Cinder Cone trailhead is within walking distance. The only downside for this site is the 6 miles dirty road: you can expect to take 20 to 30 minutes depending on how fast you drive and you will most definitely need a car wash after the trip 😉

Clean bathrooms, lots of lake access, not crowded. Each site has a fire ring, bear box, and picnic table. Bathrooms are toilets and sinks only. Also a dish washing station, garbage and recycling. Quick walk to Butte Lake access, there is a public access area with bathrooms, picnic tables, and some fire rings. But you can keep walking back to more private/nature areas. Camp is just off the trail to Cinder Cone, and there are many other trails nearby.

Nice campground with decently sized campsites and shade. Very conveniently located near the lake, which many people were enjoying sitting by and swimming in. The lake is located right by the Cinder Cone trail, which is must do if you are a capable hiker (the home up is tough). Campground was full, but people were respectful. Would visit again.

Beautiful and quiet. Not many campers. We had to leave early because of the smoke from the Dixie fire. Real bathrooms.

It is a beautiful camp ground. But, like all national parks, dogs are allowed nowhere. And if you plan on bring an rv. Triple check your camp site is at the end of the mini loops they have. Other wise you'll get trapped in behind somebody else. It's for sure a good place for tent campers with no dogs.

Amazing. Quite even when packed! Clean, beautiful and fun place to camp, hike, kayak and fish.

Cool hiking trails. Pretty unique view into a cinder cone. Beaches have volcanic sand!

Great campground with plenty of space at each site. (Room for 2 cars and 3 tents!) We has a blast and loved the easy distance to both Cinder Cone and Butte Lake. And we got to see a bear! (Fortunately on the other side of the lake!) The 6 mile dirt road in might deter some folks but we thought that was all to the good... maybe not so crowded!
