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!

The campground was beautiful, spacious and clean. The bathrooms were also clean and well furnished. Lake Manzanita itself is stunningly beautiful, we enjoyed kayaking the lake and hiking around it too. We also enjoyed a number of other hikes from the location, including to Crags Lake. We also spent a fun day driving over to Butte Lake area where we kayaked the lake and hiked to the top of Cinder Cone. Really awesome views!

We had a great time at this campground! Bathrooms were spread out throughout and easy to get to. My kids loved having a lake so close by so we could adventure without having to drive somewhere. We intended to see more of Lassen natl park but on one of our days, drove two hours down to the Southside entrance only to find some of what we were interested in, was not accessible due to snow (in June!). This Florida girl did not anticipate that being possible in June. Otherwise a beautiful trip!!

The kayak rental on Manzanita Lake was great as usual. It’s only on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The store is convenient and has some necessities and souvenirs. It’s a beautiful spot that you have to visit at least once.

- 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.
