Basic campground and nice view

This is an uber-basic free campground with a nice view of a large Pleistocene lava field to the north and easy access to Crack-in-the-Ground to the south. The road in can be a little rough but us generally passable to 2WD vehicles. Overall a nice spot.

Surprisingly nice BLM campground

High camp with great views. Road from Christmas Valley is all washboard until Crack park, then it gets better. For BLM, it’s nice. Cold May morning at 17 degrees.

Great views!

We were the only ones there, so peaceful. The views up top we're incredible. Sites are good size and bathroom was clean.

Only downside is the road getting there is VERY bumpy.
