The campground was very nice, it was great to have a fire in July as fire conditons in past years prevented this experience.

Wonderful spot to meet family from all over Northern California. Beautiful area. Great hikes for all levels. Water activities are limited-not a swimming lake.

Absolutely beautiful spot, the campsite was easy to find, the park was easy to navigate and the facilities were clean! All of the staff we encountered on our visit was incredibly helpful and friendly and the views of the mountain were immaculate. We will definitely be back!

My brother and I spent a night here extending our stay in Lassen after a 3 day two night hike in the park. We resupplied in the camp store that had limited selection and was over priced. Campsite was adequate and facilities were clean. Camp staff were kind and courteous . Close to Lassen peak and other site seeing. Most of the park is still recovering from the Dixie fires.

our family has been going to Manzanita Lake for 43 yrs. We obviously love it. The campground is very nice, shaded, campsites are not on top of each other. The kids like riding their bikes up to the camp store for ice cream. I must admit I do not like the makeover the store got a couple of years ago. I really miss the quaintness of the old store. There are so many great hikes to do throughout the park, and it is not over-croweded. The walk around Manzanita lake in the evening gives spectacular views of Mt. Lassen at sunset. With the addition of the cabins satisfies everyone in the family's needs.
