Lava Beds/Indian Well

Nice, pretty large first-come, first-served (no reservations available) campground in Lava Beds National Monument. I think I read there are 40 campsites. They’re pretty tightly packed, and most people are sort of one top of one another, but campers were generally respectful and it was quiet by 10pm or so. There was at least one water faucet. I only saw one set of bathrooms, three stalls in the women’s room, no showers. There were small RVs there, but I don’t know if there were hookups. I think all of the sites were $10 per night, self-pay. It felt safe and clean. It’s right in the National Monument, about 5 minutes’ drive from the visitors’ center and the main cave loop. It’s way the heck out there, but there are paved roads the whole way. The nearest food I found was about 35-45 minutes from the campground, to the north.

Super remote, and with only being a first come it tends to be a quite park. We visited in mid May weekend and it was only 1/2 full. There are only a handful of larger spot everything else is smaller. Perfect for tent, or car camping and smaller trailers and motorhomes. Spots are fairly close together but we still had plenty of room.

Great campsite! Beautiful open space, everything was very clean and deer roam right through it!! Sites equipped with picnic table, fire pit and separate grill plus each has its own trash and recycling. Bathrooms are close by with toilets and sinks, no showers or paper towel. We stayed in A loop site 5 and thought it was by far the best spot. A little exposed because it is on the outside. Don't leave anything on the tables: ravens will get it (we left tissues and a whole watermelon that both got destroyed).
