Great location, beautiful campsite. The pull through on our site was too tight to make the turn (B16). I had to back the 25’ trailer out instead of risking hitting the tree trunk that was left when the tree was cut down

We love this campground! We have been coming every year with our Girl Scout troop and we have a blast. The staff are amazing and the campground is safe and clean. It is conveniently located for us to explore Lassen Volcanic Park and do some trips to Lake Shasta. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

D21 was a lovely site! We just had some not so great neighbors on one side who were up drinking all night and seemed to be the only ones in the campground being really loud. I wish somebody would enforce a quiet rule after midnight. There is more secluded sites which I would choose next time but I was booking last minute so I had no choice. Just something to keep in mind. The restrooms are nice!

Campsite was pleasant and large. Bathrooms were close. And even though there were a lot of spots close-by, it still felt that we had a quiet space for ourselves.

The campground is in a good location in the park and has showers at the camp store ($5 a day for unlimited time). The campground has flush toilets, pit toilets, and dishwashing sinks. Be aware that the sites are RIGHT next to each other, so there is absolutely no sense of space/privacy with your neighbors for a lot of the sites. You can hear every conversation going on around you ALL the time. If you plan to be in the park hiking all day, etc. then it's not an issue, but definitely wouldn't be a campground you could relax at all day, since it's so loud.

Campsite was clean, restrooms were clean. Very close to lake Manzanita. I enjoyed watching sunset there. One of the most beautiful sunsets I experienced. Easy to find campsite and easy to park

Sad that there is no EV charging available. I had to drive my Tesla to a KOA near Shingletown and wait 3 hours at a 240vac/50 A destination charger so I would have enough juice be able to make it to a Supercharger in Red Bluff.
RV sites should be upgraded with at least 115VAC outlets and water hookup. I would pay $15/night more.

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.
