Many visitors enjoyed the stunning views, wildlife interactions, and recreational options like kayaking and swimming. However, concerns were raised about the rough access road, lack of cell service, and limited information or support on-site, which could impact the overall camping experience.

Love that there are no lights in or around the campground and restrooms at night. Also like that the campground is remote, away from any main roads and a bit more difficult to get to. These things help to keep it quiet all day, and dark at night so we could really enjoy the natural area.

Road in is 6 miles of washboard gravel road. Great place to base camp for hiking on the east side of Lassen Natl. Park!

Very beautiful Lake! The ground at campsite B38 was soft and uneven. It is a pull thru. Also there were many burned large logs on the ground. Our grandaughter loved touching the black burned charcoal logs and getting black soot on her hands, face and clothes. Many chipmunks were eager to share whatever food we dropped. Lots of fun for all of the family. We had a 26 ft travel trailer. Our site didnt have much trafic and was fairly close to the flush toliets.

Sites are pretty close to together. The campground is right on the edge of the burn area so the voices echo and carry through the woods very easily. You can even hear your neighbors arguing! This site has a broken fire ring and it is mostly on a hill, not many places to pitch a tent. The campground did have running water, flushable toilets, a dishwashing sink, so those were some luxuries we weren’t expecting

The campsite was quiet, close to the lake, and not too close to other sites. The restrooms were flush toilets and kept clean, but they have no lights which is great because you can stargaze without impediment from light. The lake seemed a little low in water but plenty of people were swimming. It was very relaxing.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
