Last Friday, I drove the Cascade Lakes Highway, beginning in La Pine and ending at Mt. Bachelor. One of my stops was Lava Lake, a place where I had not stopped to visit before. I drove through the campground and the resort. There is also another lake right next door, Little Lava Lake, but that road looked a bit isolated, so I didn't venture down there by myself. I'll need to go back there sometime when Cary is with me. Here is a link to more info regarding Little Lava Lake (Visit USA.com).

Lava Lake Resort has a lodge, dock, two boat ramps and an RV park. They also offer showers and a dump station. The campground has 43 campsites, and Little Lava Lake has 17.

I'm sorry to say it, but during my brief visit, I didn't feel as welcome here as I did at Elk Lake. The signs were bossy, like, stay off the grass, 15 minute parking only, and if you are not staying at our RV park, don't come past this point. How would I know if we wanted to stay at the RV park if I couldn't check it out? I didn't go inside the store. I couldn't find a website that belongs to the resort.

The views of South Sister, Broken Top and Mt. Bachelor were beautiful from Lava Lake. South Sister still has a bit of snow on it.

I mislabeled this photo, it is Mt. Bachelor, not South Sister.

There is South Sister and Broken Top.

Beautiful area! Yes, a lot of Blue.

According to that map you have a lot of lakes to choose from.
