Lava Flow Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument
Reviewed Jun. 30, 2021

Once in a lifetime experience

How often do you get to say that you camped in the middle of a lava field and lava boulders? This first come campground gives you just that. Nice paved sites with picnic tables and grills. Nice paved, wheelchair accessible walkways to the visitors center. Flush toilets (a little old, but super clean) and pit toilets. Community water source. Awesome staff. Cost was very reasonable at $9 with an America the Beautiful pass. The park loop runs right by the campground so everything to see is conveniently located. We had hoped to do some astro photography but a rare thunderstorm blew in making for a spectacular sunset and light show. Yes. I would definitely check this one out.
