Manzanita Lake campground is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The campground and facilities are clean and well kept. We took our inflatable kayaks and launched them in Manzanita Lake. The water was clear enough to see the trout swimming about below us. We didn't have much luck catching them but then we didn't try too hard either. The views of Lassen peak from the lake were spectacular.

I preferred the previous policy of having some 1st come 1st served campsites. It appeared to me that there were available sites at both Manzanita Lk and Summit Lk that were impossible to utilize due to the new online only reservations.

Facilities were awesome here, super quiet, and easy. Only bummer is a lot of Lassen NP is closed.

D loop (tents only) was very quiet during my visit. Ten minute walk to the lake via the trail along side campsites. I will be back!

The campground is great, but people reserve campsites, don't show up & they sit empty while other last minute campers are turned away. I can understand reservations being required for busy parks in summer, but not in all parks all the time.

The sites are a good size with room between your neighbors. We come yearly and always enjoy our experience. The only issue we had was the sloping of the drive-thru site (B-04). There is a 5" slant which was hard to level out. I pulled the trailer up to top and could compensate for the 4" there. Would I go back again. YUP.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- 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.
