We appreciated the pull through spot and the immaculate bathrooms. Cinder Cone was an adventurous and invigorating experience. We highly recommend it.

The location of the campsite was good but felt a little to cramp as each campsite was too close to each other. Camping during the off season before any holidays was a great choice as there weren't a lot of people in the campsite. I will most likely return to Lassen Volcanic National Park however will try different campsites to see what each campsite will provide. The campsite was super clean and well maintained. Will definitely return to the campsite.
