This campground was amazing! If you're looking to tough it out in the rough outdoors, this campground is definitely not for you. It's such a comfy campground, and very popular so expect a lot of people. The camp store had everything we could possibly want (from merch, to local beer, to an affogato!). The area itself was also beautiful, the lakes are stunning and there are a couple hikes accessible from the campground. Would absolutely camp here again!

I was very pleased that despite NPS staff cuts, the Lassen team was able to provide clean bathroom facilities, empty the trash, and patrol the D-loop campsites regularly during my 2.5 days there. The campground was fully reserved and folks were in good spirits.

An absolutely fantastic location! The camp sites were well organized, clean and with easy access to the facilities. Everyone was respectful of night time quiet hours. The proximity to the lake and to the store was a great asset traveling with the family! Highly recommended!

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.
