Summary

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.
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!

Without a host, people were not respecting the usual guidelines. People weren't keeping their vehicles on the pavement, and we're parking in the dirt.
One camper couple with a large white dog bragged about taking it hiking into the backcountry- infuriating!
Lassen itself is of course glorious and serene if you can get away from those who aren't respectful of others and appreciative of where they are.

Short walk to Summit lake day use area through the campground which was really nice. Plenty of water bibs and trash cans. Saw 1 bear and 4 dear over the few days we were there. It’s close to the main road but we didn’t really notice the road most the time.

The spaces are small but well maintained. Some have no shade due to fallen trees. The lake is beautiful and nice to swim in. The bathrooms are excellent with actual flushers. Its the quietest camp ground I have ever been at. The hike to Echo lake is not to be missed. Easy hike with gorgeous lake for picnic and swimming. Views of Lassen on the trail. Lassen is a hidden gem of a park.
From Redding, California take State Highway 44 east approximately 48 mi to the Manzanita Lake entrance of the park. The campground is 14 mi south of the entrance on the main park road.
