Manzanita Lake

The campground was clean, the restrooms were orderly. I was surprised that i never saw a ranger.

Very happy with C26. Seemed to have extra space compared to many of the other spots. Downside was the bear container was close to a neighboring site, which makes either a long trip back and forth when you’re making food or have the stove close to the container (which is what we do) and we end up congregating very close to the neighboring site even though we had such wide open space. No other issues.

National parks just don't have the money to keep up with the amount of campers, I mean, no soap in the dispensers, one stall out of TP, garbage cans over flowing, I don't get it? Even the grocery store was out of common items, I'm one and done.

Went to Lassen for the dark skies and saw some incredible meteors! Manzanita Lake is always gorgeous, perfect place for paddle boarding. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. The campground had everything we needed. Amazing experience.

Nice campground for a National Park, which generally has crowded campgrounds. This one is nice, although the whole campground has bare dirt.

There were so many signs saying you can’t do this, you can’t do that seems there are ten times more things that you can’t do there and not just in the campgrounds but everywhere. No bonfires, no bbq cooking, no dogs allowed anywhere including leashed or teathered to your rv no turning right on this trail no turning left on this trail……etc. It was so ridiculously uncomfortable that we forefitted our campsite( couldn’t even cook our dinner) and went home. Boooo on you Manzanita Lake Campground and Lassen Park!!! Would NOT recommend!!

Basically, a pleasant campground. Restrooms clean, showers available, store and little cafe for snacks or things forgotten. Lake nearby has kayak rentals. The main shortcoming in my opinion is the lack of campground hosts, as far as I could tell. At the time of the visit, it was dry and fires were forbidden. However, there was one group that decided to have a fire anyway, creating risk for all of us. Then, late at night, a noisy group came in nearby and kept me awake until 1 AM. If a campground host was nearby and could have dealt with both of those issues, it would have been much better.

The Manzanita Lake Campground, was a beautiful well maintained campground, with all the amenities we could need. Flush toilets, showers, gas, and a convenience store are all located conveniently near the campsites. The only downside is there are no rangers located at the site and no data, so if you need to contact the park about something, you are unable to. There is also wifi at the museum just a short drive away. Definitely would love to stay here again!

Campgrounds and rv spaces were nice and large. Bathroom floors could have been better cleaned by wiping dry after mopping. Shoe dirt by campers made mud immediately after cleaning. Trails and lakes were great. Wonderful park.
