I was there also in the first week of September 2022…wasn’t bad at all. I’ve never been there when it was too bad. I do remember lava lake campground being closed because of a nearby fire and ended up staying in La pine instead.
Looking through my photos I’ve been there in August 2016, September 2021, September 2022 and August 2023 as well as a couple other times back when I was a kid.
