Lava Flow Campground

As other reviewers have stated, this is a nice campground right in the monument and the best way to enjoy your visit. During my visit the end of July most people would stay one night and leave early. To get a good site you need to arrive early afternoon especially if you have a larger rig as those sites are limited. Overall it's a typi... more

Wish there was hook ups. 90s made inside RV hot

We stayed here two nights. Lots of site selections. We were able to change sites for a bit more privacy on the second night. Bathroom facilities have flush toilets and running water. No cell coverage at the campground. Cell coverage is available in various spots as you drive around the 7-mile scenic drive that is accessed right at... more

The campground is conveniently located inside the park. It is inexpensive and super clean. My main reason for giving it only three stars is because all of the sites are small and super close to each other. It is great as a place to sleep while visiting the park, but it would never be a destination in and of itself.

This is a first-come, first-serve campground inside the national monument. We could not find many options in the area for free camping so tried it out. It worked out well because being right inside the park makes it much easier to take in all the sights and there were many! What a crazy place to visit. The rangers love to tout that... more

Be sure to stop at the self pay kiosk, if booth is closed, before entering the campground. The reason, there is a sign on the board the show which sites will accommodate what length. Sites 1 and 2 are just left of the kiosk and checking booth. They are some of the longest sites in the campground. Danger at site 14! There is a s... more

We arrive on hot Friday evening to find only 2 sites left available. Fortunately, one of them was site #2 which might just be the best in the whole campground. Located off to the side near the entrance station, this massive pull thru site has a tree for shade (you're going to need it in the summer) and more privacy than any other site.... more

We didn't have high expectations.... but this place is really pretty cool. And they have the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen. Regarding cell signal, we had 0/1 bars of both AT&T and Verizon, but with the booster and Yagi antenna I was able to get a decent AT&T 4g signal, suitable for streaming and video conferencing. (5-7mbit d... more

Recently renovated, no hookups. Most sites are somewhat private. A few are tent only (be sure not to put anything with wheels on a tent site, you will be firmly told by the camp host to relocate. -even if the campground is already full...) This camp and National Monument is a hidden gem. Take the time to visit the sights within the ... more

What a strange campoground. You are un the middle of a field of lava. Everything is black, even the sidewalks, There are a few trees and we were lucky enough to get the last site and it had a tree on it, providing shade during the afternoon. All this blackness could raise the temperature during summer days but there is usually a fa... more
