The campground was nice and seemed to be well kept but there was no water pressure in the bathrooms so they shut them down and there was only the pit toilets. I'm OK with that, but they only put in two rolls of toilet paper and that went quick with all the kiddos that were camping. I have my own stash of toilet paper but there was none in the toilet for two days.
All the folks at the store were very friendly and I loved using the showers at the end of a long hiking day. I had a fun time but not a fan of the large crowds at these huge campgrounds.

Very clean bathrooms and the store is awesome. They have so much cool stuff there! Did I forgot the views from Lake Manzanita? No I didn't because they were awesome. Late September and the creeks were all flowing and they still had the small waterfalls going. Great place campgrounds are awesome and the fire-pits are great so buy some wood from the store! Thanks Lassen Volcanic National Park staff you all are doing a great job up there!

Overall, this was a good camping experience. We were there in the shoulder season (late September), and only the A & B loops were open, but nearly full.

- 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.
