Lava Camp Lake Campground

Small and sort of secluded

This is a small CG right off the McKenzie hwy. Road 900 to the CG can be rough. The CG has 12 sites, some drive in as well as walk in sites. Sites have the standard picnic table and fire pit. Pit toilet was in ok condition. Mosquitos are in issue at least this time of year. Bring bug spray. The CG is also at some elevation so it might be cooler depending when you are there. Lava Camp Lake is small but it has fish and its would be a great place to bring the family. You will need a wilderness permit. One thing about this CG is it is right off a spur that connects to the PCT so I suspect there might be some thru hikers there later in the season. The parking area for the trailhead next door wasn't but there were quite a few cars there. Good place to jump off for the Dee Wright Observatory, Obsidian Trail, Mathieu Lakes or Black Crater.
