Open despite the shutdown. Great views. Easy to pay with credit card. Nice bathrooms. Potable water. Easy walk to the visitor center and lots of caves on the cave loop. Very peaceful place even on a Saturday night.

Really small campsites. I have a 30 ft RV and there was only one campsite that could even accommodate it, B23. Of course the government was shut down during our stay, so the visitor center was closed. I loved that the Rangers don't bother you at all. It had beautiful sunrises and sunsets, sunny days that are breezy, night skies filled with stars and a moon so brilliant it looks like you could climb the hills and touch it.

Wow, this place was clean! Has running water and flushing toilets. The bathrooms are even heated!! Has water spouts everywhere. First come first serve. $20 a night. They even have a fancy machine to pay with Apple Pay only at station. All campsites are spread out but some in the middle are super close to one another. Very accessible friendly! Tables are more than 100 years old! I’d stay here again! Update (7/2025): they’ve added bear boxes.

Superb campground. Electronic no wait, no BS paying. Campground is few minutes from visitor center. Nicely paved and clean. Abundance of regular and recycle trash canes in national park fashion (bear safe - where are the bears though :)) Multiple trails lead from the grounds to the park sites so you can start hiking from here for some stuff. Many areas have to be reached by car though.

We loved this campground. It felt very isolated and peaceful, and the landscape and views were incredible. We stayed in Spot 6 which fit our 25ft RV perfectly, was situated away from other campsites and offered some of the best views. It is first come, first served and it was ~1/3 filled in early May. The caving is great here too. We were able to drive our RV to the different spots and go through 6 caves in one day. I highly recommend this campground and Lava Beds for caving!
