We had a great time, staying inside the park boundary was a great way to drive from the campground to the multiple trails available, our pinnacle was reaching the summit of Lassen peak! The night Astro landscape photography was excellent too. Can’t wait to go back.

Please note that some campsites have the bathroom very close to the assigned campsites and there can be foot traffic all night and through your campsite. In addition, there was no office to help campers even though it is a large campground. The Camper Services Store (concessionaire) does not assist campers nor direct them to a place to get assistance. The camp host was not available. However, the park did approve our refund, so we appreciate that. Please note that unlike Crater Lake, Zion, Death Valley, Grand Canyon and many other parks, there are no designated paths for pets. The only place pets can be walked is in the campground itself.

Good private spots on the edges of campground. Nice amount of space for any spot. Bring your headlamps to the bathrooms because there is no lighting provided.

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.
