About
This location offers a rare convergence of geological wonders and outdoor adventure—a dormant volcano and a naturally formed ice cave accessible via well-maintained hiking trails through striking lava fields. Guests can explore an historic trading post featuring ancient artifacts and local geological specimens, gaining insight into both the area's natural history and the family's multi-generational stewardship of the property spanning over a century.
The hiking experience appeals to visitors of varying abilities. A self-guided trail with an informative pamphlet leads to the volcano's rim, where sweeping views reveal the extent of ancient lava flows across the landscape. From there, guests can continue to the ice cave—a cool refuge year-round where natural ice formations glisten beneath the earth, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that lingers in visitors' memories.
The camping experience emphasizes tranquility and natural beauty. Set among tall pine trees with dark skies perfect for stargazing, the property provides peaceful, quiet nights away from highway noise. Multiple level parking options accommodate various rig sizes, and amenities include clean restroom facilities, hot showers, and access to electricity. The wooded setting offers shade and natural shelter, creating an immersive forest experience.
The hosts and staff are consistently praised for their warmth, knowledge, and helpfulness. They welcome late arrivals, assist with parking logistics, share the property's fascinating history, and create an atmosphere where guests feel genuinely cared for. The on-site gift shop features locally crafted Native American jewelry, stones, and souvenirs, and the historic structure itself—with its saloon heritage—adds to the distinctive character of a visit to this one-of-a-kind destination.
