Site was clean. Walk to the lake was an easy one. We rented kayaks and paddle boards and enjoyed the view of Lassen Peak from the lake.

The best part of this campground is how quiet it is. Everyone staying there was respectful of quiet hours and that's important to us when camping. It was also maintained very well. The restrooms were clean. The shop at the entrance is decently stocked. The one thing I would say negative is they charge more than any other campground I've been to for firewood. Overall a great experience. No cell service so be prepared to travel out of the campground to get it, and even then it is pretty spotty.

Beautiful lake with lovely trail around it. The facilities were ok. The camp sites were nice. Showers were available at the store. Wifi was available at the park's visitor center. The area serves as a base to see amazing scenery.

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.
