Nice campground in the trees. Camp store is well stocked and includes a little cafe. Camp store is the place to purchase souvenirs on the north end of the Park as the Visitors Center is closed much of the time. Definitely do the drive to the park's south entrance. Download the National Park Service (NPS) app and guided tour before going to the park. Very little cell service in or near the park.

The camp host was unhelpful and rude. As far as I can tell the only thing she did was drive her car around 5 minutes before noon to yell at people that check out was at noon. And I literally mean yell. Otherwise, refer to the sign with all of the information you should need to know and don’t bother to ask any questions.

Our campsite was set slightly apart from others, which kept things quieter. Despite it being a Saturday night, people observed the quiet hour rules. The sites, restrooms and surrounding area were clean. The visitors center, with wifi access even at closed times, was about a 15-minute walk away, as was the trailhead to an excellent short hike to Chaos Crags Lake. And the walk around the lake at sunset was gorgeous, with Lassen perfectly reflected in the water.

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.
