Manzanita Lake

This was a pretty nice campground at Lassen. Our site was backed up right against another so we had some noise as it was a large group. But the bathroom and sink weren’t too far and we loved the scenery. Showers were $5 though and were located only at the store.

This is a decent place to stay to visit Lassen from the northern side. A couple of years earlier we visited from the South and most of the park was closed to us because of snow. We did not use the bathrooms or spend a lot of time in the campground. The sites do not have hookups and the site descriptions here are like others on rec.gov a crapshoot. We took a chance on the only site available that said we would fit and we did fit, barely. We were very happy to have a spot. No hook ups and not much solar as it is well shaded. The sites and roads are pretty tight in this campground, our travel trailer is 26 ft and while we saw bigger campers, some had to park off site. We were able to get internet with help from Travlfi in spite of low signal from Verizon. There is a modest visitor center close by and a camp store that sometimes has gasoline in the campground. The dump station and water fill area is good. It was fairly convenient to the Lassen Peak trail

Campsite was easy. A pull through and nearly level.
Bear box and picnic table were conveniently placed.
Fires were not allowed due to high fire risk. Understandable but evening fires were missed.
The camp store / cafe was understaffed and food was not available in the evening.
Enjoyable stay.
Would stay here again.

Very nice site at the edge of the campground. Some walk to the bathrooms. Beautiful forest.

Busy, fun campground, with lots of people. There was an effort to observe quiet hours by campers, we must say. Bathrooms were clean, busy. The store staff was friendly and ready to help with anything. The prices at the store were actually lower than prices in the main Visitor's Center stores in the south of the park.

Clean bathrooms, newly paved roads and well maintained. No camp host. Rarely did the rangers come by. Very quiet. No campfires but that's understandable.

Nice campground. Only negative is that the showers were out of service when we were there. I think the water heater had failed.

Beautiful area with great views, nice hikes and fun kayaking. Only negative: when trying to fill our water tanks, we discovered that all of the water spigots in the campground had the threads shaved off. There was no ranger so we asked at the camp store and the young person was very nice but zero help; she directed us to the "cabin host" to ask but our knocking went unanswered. We drove out to the dump station, located before you enter the campground, and were able to fill our tanks there. Not a big deal but after driving all day it set us back on time so we had to kayak a different day. Definitely would return.

The camp site was beautiful. Restrooms were well maintained and trails head to lake was just few minutes away. The store near to camp site was very convenient and had shower and laundry facilities. Overall it was a great experience.

Fantastic campground, nice bathrooms with flush toilets. Very clean and close to lake. The cooler storage box was damaged and couldn't lock it. Campground store ran out of ice early Saturday and had to drive 15 mi to get ice. Otherwise had a flawless, great weekend
