We went on Nov. 3 only to find out the road to the park was closed to vehicles. Possibly due to snow and rock slides. Nevertheless, we tried to enjoy whatever we could get access to like the Sulphur works. Got some nice pictures. We would like to visit again in the spring and fully enjoy what the park has to offer.

Traveling back home in Southern Oregon, we made a special trip to drive through Lassen Volcanic National Park. It was sad to see how much the 2021 Dixie fire took out. Large areas are still recovering and I can only imagine that in its restored state, it would be beautiful. We only had time to drive through the park and check out a few scenic spots. I really appreciated that each pullout/attraction is numbered, making it easy to follow along on the map. Unfortunately, the Government shutdown was going on when we visited and we couldn’t visit any of the visitor centers. We would like to come back and do some of the hikes deeper into the park to get the full experience.

This was our first time in Lassen Volcanic National Park. We visited in mid-October during the government shutdown. On our first day, we learned that Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway was closed to vehicles except for some workers. We were told that it was due to rock slides. It rained/snowed the day before. Of course, this didn’t stop my husband to explore the park when we learned that we were allowed to walk the highway and the trails. We decided to walk to Bumpass Trailhead to Bumpass Hell. We only met 3 visitors during our visit and we were the only ones walking the highway. We walked around 14 miles and exhausted since it was uphill (~5 miles) to Bumpass Trailhead. The views were amazing and rewarding which made the hike worthwhile. On our second day, we were relieved that the Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway was opened later in the morning. The view along the way was beautiful & it was ~30 miles to the other end (North Entrance) we hiked around Manzanita Lake.

Beautiful park with various sights to check out and enjoy! Lots of hiking trails. It wasn’t busy when we went which was lovely. So many unique features that we appreciated! If you get the opportunity to go during summer or early fall, definitely check it out!

One of the least populated parks I've been to but then, it was also seniors' September. Quiet trails at higher elevations and plenty of geological history. Didn't find an NP humor embedded anywhere.

Awesome , super spacious campsite very nicely located not far from manzanita lake and a bit into the park such that you’re not so far from the major hits.

The boundary between site 5,6 and 7 is poorly defined. Our site 6 had no level tent spots within the fallen trees. We pitched two tents between site 5 and site 6. The larger groups in site 5 also used that space resulting in tents being pitched in close proximity

Great campsite for a group. It is on the northern end of the park so far from Lassen, Bumpass, Brokeoff.

We have a 36ft fifth wheel trailer. Website says site will accomodate 40 foot trailer. Well we lucked out and just happened to reserve a site that the trailer would fit in sideways. Some spots were back ins and no way could our trailer fit in. Need to mark each site as 40 foot friendly so when reserving online you know which one to reserve. Also bathroom cleaning. Only mopped floor and no disinfectant used on toilet itself
