This was a lovely NPS campground. We were tucked away at the edge of the tent loop (Loop D) and enjoyed three quiet nights. The campground store has friendly staff and is well stocked. Picnic tables and bear boxes were in excellent condition. Bathrooms were clean and the dish washing station was much appreciated. Highly recommend a stay here if you’re exploring Lassen Volcanic NP.

Pretty wooded campground near Manzanita lake trail with pretty views. Laundry,store and cafe were handy to have nearby. Bring firewood if you can - it was $15 at the store. We were in site C25. It was big, shaded, and shared a pull through drive with the site next to it, but still well spaced out and backed up to a wooded hill. It was a bit of a walk to the store area just as a heads up if you're carrying laundry!

Nice corner site. It was very quiet and we enjoyed kayaking and boating in the lake. The store was very nice as well as the showers. It was also easy to take a loop around the park and see all the amazing sights.

Manzanita Lake Campground is my go to tent camping place. The facilities are clean and stocked,the dish washing area is functional, and you get to experience some wildlife. I have found campers at this site to be courteous.

Great, quiet stay. I would stay here again, but just know the general store at the camp area closes at 7 and reopened at 8am. We expected to be able to get a few things/snacks there upon arrival to our camp site but we missed it. Poor planning on out part.

Great little place. Shower for $5 per day, okay signal with T-Mobile. Easy peasy.

Great campground! Nice big site, the lake is beautiful!
The only downsides:
- lots of RV using their generator (very noisy); it should be forbidden
- our site was not leveled
I reccommand this campground! Amazing national park!
