Jordan Craters Area of Environmental Concern

Jordan Craters offers a truly unique camping experience set within a vast, 27-square-mile volcanic field. Visitors can explore a surreal landscape shaped by ancient lava flows, featuring well-preserved craters, intricate lava tubes, and smooth, billowy pahoehoe formations.
