Close to Volcano, but noisy
We stayed on the sites closest to the highway. Campsites were large and private and the bathrooms were clean. The traffic noise was loud all day and went on well into the night and kept some of us awake. The sites farther back had less traffic noise, but also less privacy. No wildlife seen other than a squirrel, crows in the morning and a skunk over night. Swimming not available on site, and lake nearby was too murky with ash sediment to be appealling.
