What Guests Are Saying

The camp host, Doug, received high praise for his fantastic management and attention to cleanliness, ensuring a tidy campsite experience. While access to Gurnsey Creek was disappointing and vault toilets were not preferred, the availability of drinking water spigots and the spaciousness for smaller groups enhanced the overall experience. The starry nights in Lassen were particularly noted as a highlight.

Very cool spot, had a smaller group and we were able to spread out and really enjoy the space. Only wished you could see through the tree canopy a little better. The stars in lassen are next level!

Campsites were cleared out pretty neatly. Very tidy and the camp host made sure other campers cleared out properly. Super awesome to have drinking water spigots near campsites. Just be observant because not all spigots were potable water. Wish the site didn't have vault toilets, but still a great trip.

The camp host is fantastic!!! ( Doug, I believe).

The access to Gurnsey creek is not good at all, which was a little disappointing.
