This campground is located along the shore of East Lake with several of the sites close to the shore and the rest within easy walking distance to the beach area. It is the largest campground in Newberry Caldera and offers bird watching, bicycling, sightseeing, and canoeing. The Newberry Crater Trail #3958 and other connecting trails are accessible from the campground.
