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.

Had a reservation site 44. Checked it out but didn't stay. Hot weekend, crowded campground, packed shoreline, and tiny unshaded site. Probably would've stayed much earlier or much later in season. Will research sites more carefully next time.

Really good campground and campsite but a few things kept it from being 5 stars. The sites are way to close together considering the amount of space. Additionally, campers with sites further from the water will post up with chairs, floats, and hammocks for days in the day use area, leaving their things overnight, and ruining prime hang out spots.

Very enjoyable, but several sights were vacant all night. Why can’t there be a system to allow those campsites to be used by last minute visitors?

Beutiful location but campsite was crowded with general lack of shade on a very warm day. Bring a pop-up. Guest host was cordial. Facilities were clean. Summit Lake is pretty with trails close by.

We liked the hike from summit lake to cliff lake, shadow lake, terrace lake and back. It’s a long hike, 8 mi, but beautiful.

The neighboring campsite is too close. Otherwise it is a good campsite.

I forgot my senior pass so when I entered the park I showed them a picture of my pass. But I now know that doesn't work.
Why can't that work? !! If they only accept QR codes why don't you print a QR code on the pass.
Very frustrating. There's a bar code on the pass why won't that work?
Many of the parks don't have Wi-Fi so that's no help.
It's also difficult to download on your phone.
This needs to be easier.
