Camping the Way It Was Meant to Be

A quiet, scenic lake, full-hookup RV sites, boat rentals, a stocked camp store, and friendly owners who treat you like family.

Finding a peaceful camping spot can feel impossible.


Most campgrounds are overcrowded, noisy, and short on amenities. You end up spending your trip stressed, disconnected from nature, and wishing you had chosen differently.

You deserve a traditional, no-fuss camping experience where you can truly relax, enjoy the outdoors, and make lasting memories.

WHY LAVA LAKE RESORT?

Loved By Campers for Over 40 Years

  • "A wonderful place to get away from big or small city life. Travis and Maegan are doing a great job taking over the operation. Great people and stunning views. We've been going here almost 20 years. Look forward to coming here every June."

    Jerry Keeling

  • "We did 2 separate camping trips here in summer of 2024, absolutely loved it here! The view alone is worth the drive. Fishing, kayaking, boat rentals, swimming, we did it all! The owners and staff were all very nice and very helpful. The store is stocked with pretty much everything you'll ever need in a pinch. Fishing was great, caught our limit of trout. We'll be back!"

    Sheila Abbott

  • "One of the best RV resorts I’ve been to. The owners/staff are amazing. Lava Lake RV is clean and a very quiet and relaxing campground. We visit Lava Lake RV at least twice a year."

    Jeremy Warren

  • "Stopped by during my first trip to the Bend area. I found this resort has the friendliest staff bar-none, I stopped by some of the other adjacent lake resorts as well. The store has all of the goodies one would need for camping, etc. The lake view with the distant Sisters is incredible and this lake has a ton of cat-tails, too. Definitely recommend this stop."

  • "We had an incredible stay at Lava Lake Resort! The setting is absolutely STUNNING. Right on the water with picture perfect views of the surrounding mountains. Our site was clean, level, and just steps away from the lake. Travis and Meagan are the best hosts! Super friendly and helpful, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your experience a good one. They have everything you could need for a great day on the lake available to rent at their little store (Boats, Paddle Boards, etc.) We were so impressed! We'll definitely be coming back!"
