Neighbor campers played loud music well past midnight. Had other neighbor campers show up at 11 pm and turn on headlights, which shown directly on our tent, so they could set up their tents. Attempted to contact camp host but there was no camp host on duty for the campground.

Manzanita Lake Camping is one of the finest Park Service campgrounds I’ve seen. Well laid out, clean sites and restrooms, and a general store and gas station near by. Be aware that there’s no cell service or internet access here so be prepared. I’ll be back next year!

The site we reserved was so off level that we needed to change sites. There were few left, but the campsite manager was amazing to find us a site we could use. The park is a very pleasant place to stay and being in Lassen Park was a bonus, because we were close to all the beautiful lakes and historic sites. We would stay there again. (It's much easier to level a trailer than a motorhome, so beware, there are many sites that are not very level.)

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.
