This campground is located in the Lava Beds National Monument. The campground is old and small, but located in a beautiful and unique area that features fascinating geological formations and interesting human history. The sites are quite small and it's difficult to tell where one begins and another ends, but everyone seemed pretty casual about just fitting their rig in however they could without blocking the access roads. The campground is situated in a hilly location and many of the sites would present leveling difficulties for an RV, but would not be a problem for tents. We were able to get a pull through site that was fairly level. Since the sites are small and the roads twisty and narrow I wouldn't recommend this campground to anyone with a big rig. There are no hook-ups, but there is water available and flush toilets. If you enjoy "roughing it" in beautiful natural surroundings, you'll like this campground. A feature of the park that many come for is the abundance of lava tubes and caves open for exploring. We would like to return to this campground and see more of the monument some day. The rate we paid was half-off the normal rate of $10 a night because we have a Golden Age pass. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Indian Wells campground is located within the monument. The sites are geared for tenters, but there are sites that rv's can pull adjacent to. The restrooms are simple, and there is piped water. The highlight of this location is the monument itself. A number of lava tubes (caves) to explore. The lava tubes also provide great relief from the high summer temps. Would visit and stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you are visiting nearby Lava Beds National Monument this is the place for you. This area is a hidden gem. Medicine Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in the caldera of a huge shield volcano at 6,700 feet. There is first come, first serve lakeside camping in four national forest campgrounds with no hookups, showers or frills. What you do get is lakeside camping, utter quiet, great fishing, a nice swimming beach and lots of hiking right from your spot. There are four campgrounds along the lake: Hemlock, some nice sights, but better for tents than RV's. A.H. Houge, great lakeside spots with plenty of good RV spots. This is where we stayed. Medicine, similar and next door to A.H. Hogue Headquarters, smaller CG and at end of lake away from swimming. The drive to Lava Beds is 15 miles on a good National Forest road. The first part is paved one lane with turnouts and is very good, then you will hit an unpaved section for several miles, but it is in great shape, then the last few miles are paved but you do have to play dodge-em-pothole. Lava Beds is worth it. It is home to 21 easily accessible lava tube caves and some great Modoc War history. Combine some fabulous alpine camping in an amazing spot with some exploration of this unappreciated area. If you are heading from Lassen NP to Crater Lake and Bend this is a great place to stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is strictly a no frills park pretty much in the middle of nowhere. It appears about 90% of stores downtown are boarded up and out of business. The park itself is on the fairgrounds. Sites are grass, mostly level. Some can be used as pull through, the rest back ins. Sites relatively close together. Full hookups (30 amp) for $18, with no cable (picked up a number of channels through antenna), no Wi-Fi (my sprint hotspot had zero bars). Bathrooms were fairly new but poorly maintained. No staff was seen during the one night stay. Self service check in at kiosk. Calls to published number went unanswered before arrival. Very quiet and peaceful for a good nights rest. If you are going this way and need an inexpensive, quiet place to spend a night and do not need any amenities this isn't a bad spot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a really nice park. I gave it an 8 because there really isn't much around there. It is very well kept & the grass was so thick & green. There are only 1 or 2 big trees, so it is sunny there. You do park on the grass so if you have jacks make sure you have something to go under them. They have full hookups including some with 50 AMPs. I only saw about 20 ish sites, but maybe they have more somewhere else. We were one of 3 RVs there. It was extremely quiet at night when we were there. You're very close to the National Lava Beds, which is why we stopped there. We got great phone & wi-fi from Verizon. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area. You sure don't get full hookups for $18 in many places, especially one as nice as this. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very well maintained camping area, nicely landscaped, and friendly staff. There is also a NPS Ranger office here for information on the Lava Beds National Monument and the former WWII segregated internment camp. Ranger gives fee tour of the internment camp. Eleven miles from Lava Beds N.M. Small town with gas, supermarket, hardware store. Get diesel in Merrill, 7 miles away in Oregon. Our antenna got 11 great stations and our Verizon air card got good reception. We would stay here anytime we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
