We have tent-camped here two times now. It's a nice, neat, and clean campground. Campsites are adequately spaced between sites. Restrooms kept clean. Path to Lake Manzanita was easy to find and the trail around the lake is easy to walk. Noticed several people renting the kayaks on the lake. Beautiful area! Would certainly recommend!

Really enjoyed our time at Lassen. Our spot was excellent for our RV. Access to water was close with good pressure.
Weather was excellent even though cool for us.
Enjoyed touring all the sites available in the area.
Look forward to a return trip.

It is a large campground which means privacy is limited. In site A21, we only had one close neighbor. A large tent or multiple tents would easily fit in this site. Overall very clean and well maintained. Would stay here again.

Our family had a great experience tent camping at the Manzanita Lake Campground. We stayed for five nights in mid-July. The campground, bathrooms and showers were very clean. The roads and trails were well marked and maintained. We would defiantly do it again.

Great general campsite for families. Generally, I am open to differing levels of accommodations at national parks, but I was very impressed with the campsite. Large sites on the D loop, walking distance to the lake, and close to a lot of amenities (like the general store). I intend to come back in the future.

Typical Park Service campground in a beautiful setting. Make sure to walk around the lake to get a wonderful look at Mt Lassen. There are no electrical hookups, typical for the PS. The store has all the basics, and there are showers and gas. There is no cellphone service at the campground, but you can get a signal on the other side of the lake. The nearby visitor center has free WiFi. The park offers great hikes and beautiful scenery. A wonderful place to visit, usually with few crowds.

- 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.
