Summit Lake North is praised for its great location within Lassen National Park, offering scenic views, easy access to hiking trails, and a beautiful lake for swimming. The campground is well-maintained with clean bathrooms and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite for visitors seeking a relaxing camping experience. However, some sites are closely spaced and lack shade, which may affect privacy and comfort.

It was excellent until the multi site crowd from the Bay Area arrived with bikes and @20 screaming kids. I had to ask the host to let them know that they were not to cutdown/ chop and saw trees for firewood! Seriously!!

This is a great campground. There’s lake is swimmable and right there! Lots of hiking options from the campground and close by. During the week it’s fairly quiet. It can be busy in the day use area on weekends. People clear out by dinner time and it’s quiet again.

Lovely campsite, short walk from the lake. This side of the lake has a lot of great spots to get in the water. Campground was clean, everything seemed to be in working order, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing and pretty quiet. I really enjoyed my stay, and I would come back!

There is not a level site to be found in Summit Lake North or South. If you've ever slept in a tent on a slant, you know what I'm talking about. No fun. I had site B19 in Summit Lake North. I do not recommend this site at all. No level ground. There is literally a v-shaped driveway. You have side of the v, the site next door has the other side. The night I stayed, there was a small SUV parked in the site, immediately next to the bear box for my site. It took me a while to figure out that the bear box was for my site, not there's, that's how close they were. The only saving grace was that there were flush toilets. I do not believe Summit Lake South has flush toilets, but don't quote me on that.

Too bad the fire was all around the campground but it was a nice place to stay. Facilities in good condition and sites are far enough apart from each other.

Perfectly located in the middle of the park with an easy-access lake. The bathrooms were clean but no lighting so bring your headlamps.
