I love Lassen Park and always enjoy my visits. This last trip felt a little more like remote/dispersed camping because it was post season and not all of the typical amenities were available - but it was still gorgeous and being able to see the Venus Rising against the Northern Lights was spectacular.

We came here in mid-October, and I knew that the dump station would be closed. What I didn't know was that everything was closed. The store, the bathrooms, the showers, the gas station, everything. All the water was shut off, even the fire hydrants. There is no cell service and the pay phones are shut off. At the North Visitors Center in the Museum park staff are telling people they can get water at the water bottle filling station over at the store. But there was NO water. Why didn't NPS staff know this? There was no camp host and you could not pay using the iron ranger, you have to pay online. But there is no cell service. You have to leave and drive several miles to get service. No way to call 911. All the sites have had tags placed on them falsely labeling them as reserved, and there is a sign at the entrance that says that the CG is full, but online 90% of the sites show available. We overheard some people ask the staff at the VC about getting a spot but they were told by park staff that the CG was full and that they'd have to go online to see if there was an opening. At the visitors center they had an announcement that the cafe at the south entrance would be open weekends until 2pm. We drove there on Sunday and at 1pm they were closed and looked like they'd been closed for days. The tree canopy was so thick in the CG that we got only 1% charge on our batteries from solar and had spotty at best satellite reception. In the CG there are multiple roads but no signs saying where they go. Drive around the park and there are NO signs for most of the park. Nothing to tell you that you are coming up on an intersection. Manzanita was the only CG that had a sign, none of the others even had signs. The one time I saw a Law Enforcement vehicle it was being driven by 2 unarmed park naturalists out taking pictures of wildlife. I did see a Law Enforcement vehicle patrol the campground one time in 3 days but have no confidence that it was an actual Law Enforcement Ranger.

Site is close to bathroom but not so close that it felt crowded. Only loop A and B open for dry camping but definitely loved this location!

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.
