Large but mellow campground. Clean bathrooms. The camp store camp items were sparse so be sure to bring everything you need. Showers were nice and laundry was convenient. Broken washing machine beds to be fixed and could’ve fit two more to speed it up.
Excellent ranger talks!

Campsite was pleasant and large. Bathrooms were close. And even though there were a lot of spots close-by, it still felt that we had a quiet space for ourselves.

Camp host was a bit odd. Lake was amazing. Our original campsite would not have fit our unit as there is no place to park it off the road. Campground overall could use a bit of TLC with leveling of the campsites and making them a bit more private.

The campground is in a good location in the park and has showers at the camp store ($5 a day for unlimited time). The campground has flush toilets, pit toilets, and dishwashing sinks. Be aware that the sites are RIGHT next to each other, so there is absolutely no sense of space/privacy with your neighbors for a lot of the sites. You can hear every conversation going on around you ALL the time. If you plan to be in the park hiking all day, etc. then it's not an issue, but definitely wouldn't be a campground you could relax at all day, since it's so loud.

This site is in the center of the B Loop. The parking area is not very level, but the camp host generously let us use some levelers. We were close to the restrooms, which were kept clean except for Saturday. It seemed a bit odd not to clean them on the busiest day. This campground is a great base for exploring Lassen, but there needs to be some better work around reservations, no-shows, cancellations. There were unused spots and many campers had to move 1-3 times while other spots sat empty.

Campsite was clean, restrooms were clean. Very close to lake Manzanita. I enjoyed watching sunset there. One of the most beautiful sunsets I experienced. Easy to find campsite and easy to park

Sad that there is no EV charging available. I had to drive my Tesla to a KOA near Shingletown and wait 3 hours at a 240vac/50 A destination charger so I would have enough juice be able to make it to a Supercharger in Red Bluff.
RV sites should be upgraded with at least 115VAC outlets and water hookup. I would pay $15/night more.

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.
