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.
This is a great location for exploring Lassen National Park, and it was great to swim in the lake in the afternoon after hiking in the morning. Our spot was large and ok, except our tent trailer door was facing out into the road, instead of in to our camp spot. The parking spot was more like a wide spot in the road, and it didn’t seem like it was very good for a trailer, but would have been better for tent camping. The camp spot also didn’t have much shade, fortunately we brought our pop up so we had some shade.
The campgrounds are beautiful! Walking distance to the lake. A good midpoint for the whole park. However, DO NOT STAY AT A07! The campsite has so many issues! 1. There is no flat ground. We set up our tent on a sloped surface. 2. The trashcans for the campgrounds are in A07. 3. A07 is surrounded by other campsites. There is no privacy. We were constantly under other campers flashlights the whole night.
I do recommend summit campgrounds but A07 is not it
The campground was fabulous, although the sites are really close together it was still peaceful and quiet. The bathroom was always clean and well stocked. My only complaint is that the camp host was a tad rude.
I loved my campsite. The scenery was beautiful -- though much of the forest is still devastated from the fire a few years ago. The weather was not totally cooperative -- but that goes with being in the mountains. But my hike was wonderful, and I took some beautiful photographs. All in all I love being at Lassen, and I love being at Summit Lake North.
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.
