Really nice, really clean campground with large sites. Doesn't feel crowded in any way. Some burned trees from the 2021 Dixie fire just outside of the campgrounds.
Site A11 was not as indicated on reservation.gov. It shares a pad with A10 but it's large enough not to be an issue.
Hike around the lake is really nice but the boardwalk damaged by fire in a couple of spots. Easy fix.

Campground was nice, bathrooms were clean. Campsite A07 is sloped. We slept with our heads at the top of the slope and every time you roll over, you slide down the slope a bit and subsequently off the sleeping mat. We have a 6 person tent which is bigger than the average dome tent. It may be easier to manage in a smaller tent.

Since the last time I was at Summit Lake North (maybe 5 years ago?) they have cut down a lot of trees, small and large, in the campground. It isn't very private anymore. It used to be easy to feel that way, but now it is extremely open. Just hope you get a mellow neighbor like a cool elderly couple in an Airstream or a couple quiet college girls with pink camping chairs like we did. Other sites were next to mega groups and crying, yelling kids. Hit or miss. That said, Lassen, the park, is amazing. Have been dozens of times and will go again. Love it!
