Manzanita Lake is so pretty! There's actually a little store at the campground where you can buy food and goods which is really cool! Each campsite has a bench, fire place, and parking spot for 2-3 cars. There are trails that go around the lake which give very beautiful views of Mt. Lassen. The bathrooms were very clean and there are stations to wash dishes at each bathroom location and lots of places to throw away your garbage. It does take a while to drive all the way into the park. For example, if you're driving from Manzanita Lake to Mt. Lassen trailhead it's going to take around 20-35 minutes if not a little more. But other than that, it's a beautiful campsite :)

Clean and very well maintained campground, but the RV dump station needs some attention as the various components are in need of replacement

Very quite campground in October. Wish they would allow FCFS campers with no reservations. There are plenty of open campsites

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.
