This is a nice small campground on a beautiful lake. The host was very helpful. Our site (A1 - an ADA site) had a shaded tent site - essential due to the excessive heat. We shaded the picnic table with a tarp and were comfortable most of the day. Both a vault and flush toilet are very near, and so is the lake.

Thank goodness for a lake to swim in after a hot, dusty hike.

The site was clean and ready for us. It was a bit close to other sites but we were too tired to care much about that. The lake though small was pretty and warm. Beware the leaches if you stay close to shore (they were small, and my BF got them on his legs while he sat on the bank, I didn’t have any swimming further out). Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The host was friendly. So overall this was a great spot to camp along our journeys!

Summit Lake North is my favorite campground in Lassen. It was all wonderful. The host is lovely, knowledgeable and helpful.
Wish I did not have to listen to someone playing their guitar until 10 at night. Other people's music is enjoyable when I like it and it fits the situation. But varies from distracting to annoying otherwise, esp when it continues for several hours.
There is a routinely encountered care on the part of various members of staff every time I visit the park. Professional and enjoyable.
