Large and well-kept campground, good base for exploring Lassen Park. Just heads up that some sites are quite close to one another with no privacy, so try to book early to get a more private spot. Also recommend walking the trail around the lake for some unreal views!

Great campground with lots of amenities. There's flushable toilets, showers and even a small store with cold and hot food cafe. Note: the toilets don't have a light so bring a headlamp and the showers are a small fee, bring your own toiletries. But that's pretty luxurious amenities for a National Park campground! The campground is also right along a lake with a great hiking trail around it for birdwatching, fishing and rentals available for paddle boarding or kayaking. It was also a treat to watch the sunset over the lake and see the bats feed on the insects. It's a very popular campground in the summer and all the sites were full. There's also a great meadow nearby for some stargazing. This particular campsite was a bit challenging to find a large flat spot but if you have smaller tents, then there were a couple of spots that could work. Fire ring and table provided. Parking was easy and paved.

Nice size camp sites, clean restrooms and great camp store, even has a couple of gas pumps. Lassen is a great park.

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.
