Description
Add this to your bucket list, stat: pitching a tent inside a volcano! Mind eruption. You can do just that at Little Crater Campground; the 50 sites here are scattered on the edge of Paulina Lake, smack dab in the middle of the caldera of the sleeping Newberry Volcano. Get here early in the week to guarantee yourself one of the non-reservable sites. And be sure to check the campground website for closures and alerts before you head out.

Wonderful spot -- where almost every camp site is lakeside! Each site is equipped with a fire ring, picnic table and parking. During the summer this is a popular spot, with lots of families. I went in the Fall (October) and it was practically empty as the services had terminated. Still just so lovely -- temp drops at night and the water was too cold for swimming (but in warmer temps, this is a lovely lake swim). Wonderful spot.
