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

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.

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.

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!

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 mi and exhausted since it was uphill (~5 mi) 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 mi to the other end (North Entrance) we hiked around Manzanita Lake.
