Manzanita Lake Campground is a well-maintained, beautiful site with clean restrooms, ample amenities, and proximity to the lake for activities like kayaking and hiking.

Beautiful lake area, not much space or privacy between campsites in Loop A. Restrooms need updating.

Space we were in was extremely short. When I mentioned it to the Camp Host lady she said, "I've had 11 complaints today about that, and they were all MEN!" I think she needs to get another job.

Had a great time at Manzanita Lake once again! This was a new campsite for us and it was right next to the bathroom! This came with pros and cons, but a major con was that we did have a couple folks walk through our campsite on their way to the bathroom. If you haven’t camped here before just know it is a busy campsite and spaces are a little close to each other. Overall 4 out of 5!!

Beautiful area, liked easy trails around the Lake( possible as I age) and clear descriptions of roads and places to visit within park. Appreciated the “ newspaper “ handout, WiFi at the plaza, video at the visitor center and nice demeanor of person in the shop. Would have appreciated more flexibility in choosing/ campsites while there, miss the individual notices at campsite which indicate how long a person is staying. This led to someone helping themselves to our camp table ( assumed they thought we had left it). Also missed seeing Rangers. We love our national parks. Thanks.

Great accommodations. Beautiful location and the bathrooms were very clean. People were friendly and the location was great. We climbed lassen and went to cinder cone. Both great hikes while also a bit challenging.

There is potable water and flush toilets available at each loop of the campground which was a big bonus for me. The Manzanita Lake loop trail was the perfect distance for an evening stroll or enjoy the park in a small dose.

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.
