There's a surreal quality to the place. Driving up the change in terrain is enough to make you speechless. Sleeping here is even better. Great atmosphere and sites and the visitor center is informative.

Great spot for exploring this national treasure. Not much privacy, but scenic and worth the $15 per day as there is not much else for camping nearby.

The informative visitor's center is a short walk from the campgrounds. The campgrounds forms a large circle with easy access to the bathroom facilities. The various drives through the lava landscapes are within a few minutes of the campground and provide fascinating short and long hikes to caves and across the fields of lava.

The campground is located on a lava flow. When we were there memorial weekend 2018 they were finishing up road construction in the park. The campground was quiet and located near the visitor center. There was cell service in the campground but it was sketchy at the visitor center. It wasn’t available anywhere else in the park. We have Verizon. There was a flush toilet located in the campground. Picnic tables were also available.

Came here in mid-July. It's a national park, so there's a great interpretative center and a junior ranger program with an awesome badge (space-themed), but I just couldn't get over the camp sites. It's all lava flow (duh) so there's very little vegetation, lots of rocks, and very little space in between the few sites. While there's a couple that have a tiny bit of privacy due to the walls of rocks, most are right in the open, and some of the spots are so tiny they barely fit a tent. Not sure if I'd go back.

Stayed here in September with excellent weather and quieter crowds. Facilities were still open and in great condition. The park itself is quite the wonder, well worth spending some time at!

We went here in the off season and it was a nice inexpensive place to stay. As with many campground the water was off but it was expected, so not an issue for us. The sites were great! Not much seclusion, but the sites were large enough that it didn’t feel too crowded and they were perfect with the lava rock surrounding. This park was a bit out of the way on our road trip, but definitely worth it!

Craters of the moon is a truly unique experience, that can only be found in Idaho. Highly recommended!

We drove all day from Oregon. The last 50 miles was on US 93 North. This was a nice campground with Tent pads of pummeled Lava and ample room to drive to the sight. They had very nice restrooms and a separate room for washing kitchen dishes. This was the manual pay with an envelope after you find the sight you want. I am so grateful that this was built in the 50s as they desecrated a part of the lava fields with roads and campsites, not sure they would be allowed to do that now. I see the value in giving people the experience of camping among the Lava.

What would it be like to live on the moon... except with gravity, a blue sky, fragile plants and a very low bug count... Craters of the Moon is waiting for you. The dark rock is a great background to everything you do, and the campground is a gateway to a perfectly sized monument area - big enough for lots of isolated adventures, small enough to not get lost in. The air is crisp after rain and several natural hot springs are located within a 50 or so mile radius from this campground. So when the Best Buy salesperson tries to sell you a extra fancy lens or two as part of once-in-a-lifetime new camera package, say yes. Then head to Craters of the Moon.
