Paulina Lake Campground is one of the most popular of the Newberry Monument campgrounds, partially because it is the first campground that you come to as you enter the monument area. It is located on the southwest shore of Paulina Lake and offers opportunities for bird watching, bicycling, sightseeing, and access to the Paulina Lakeshore Trail #3955 and Little Crater Trail #3953. There is a boat launch within this campground.
Paulina Lake is one of the most popular of the Newberry Monument campgrounds, partially because it is the first campground that you come to as you enter the monument area, partly because it has flush toilets which are always nice, and partly because of its easily accessible boat launch. There is a rustic resort next door where you can stock up on some last minute essentials or take a break and eat at their cafe. Information about the area is available across the road from the campground and there are ample hikes to take to see the lava flow or waterfalls close by. The campground has excellent sites for all forms of camping and plenty of large sites for luxury RVs. Many of the spurs are paved as well. There are four flush double toilet buildings and pressurized water spigots spread all over the campground. This is one of the nicest campgrounds that we manage. Because of its popularity we try to keep this campground open as long as the weather permits. There is an RV dump station near the entry of Paulina Lake Campground.
