We were a school group camping inthe group sites. Our kids were in their tents by 9:00 pm. The park people stopped at our camp multiple times a day. I have led school groups to Lassen and Manzanita since 1995. This was the first time it seemed the kids were not welcome.

Campground was packed full and loud with no hosts or general etiquette. Spend your time elsewhere.

Theres no camp host after labor day so people are allowed to be as loud as they want as long as they want. My friend and I barely slept because a group next two us much bigger than us got drunk and were shouting and blaring music all night. And groups around them felt entitled to do the same. We ended up leaving two days early.

Excellent place to stay to see Lassen National Park. Great facilities and quiet campground. Felt safe. Loop A is a great loop for access to the Manzanita lake loop trail.

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.
