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.

What a great lake to relax around. Campsites are very open so there is little privacy but the lake and the great trail around the lake are worth it for the stay. Bathrooms were in great condition. No drinkable water available. Would still recommend just make sure to bring drinking water.

There were fires in the park a few years ago so lots of burnt trees nearby but the campground area is green and covered with trees. The lake next to the site is really nice and the facilities are great. The campground itself is small though so the sites while roomy are still very close to each other. But great experience overall.

The site was lovely, super close to the bathrooms and the lake, but also right at the entrance of the campground so every car coming in drove right by us.

Are designated campsite was BO9, loop B North summit Campground, was a parallel parking/camping spot off the main loop road; And because the loop is one-way, we could not open our awning on our camper because it would extend over the roadway. It really wasn't for me.

This is an overall lovely campground. I didn't give a 5 star just because our site was in a very congested area at the end of the loop crowded with others. But the campground itself is great and centrally located to things within Lassen. It is pretty cripsy around the campground and east of the highway from the Dixie fire. There is a nice loop around the lake, but better hikes exist with a drive. We fit our 20 ft trailer in here just fine. But again our neighbors were right on top of us, kind of narrow werid layout. Our kids loved riding bikes around the loops, too.

B4 at summit lake north campground was a nice spot near the lake but the site was cut in half by a huge tree that was uprooted. It would have been nice if the tree was cut up so we could have used the entire site and not be crammed in. Neighbors were really loud on Thursday night, they were yelling and hollering till midnight despite the entire campground being in bed. The rules say quiet time at 10pm but were not enforced.

Summit Lake North is in an absolutely beautiful setting and in a great position within the park. The lake is warm enough for swimming by early July, and so beautiful. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. No electric lights anywhere in the park, so you’ll need headlamps or a lantern for the bathrooms. Note that many sites are better suited for camper vans or small RVs. Each site might have space for small tents, but in many cases there isn’t much level space. A few spaces are good for tents, so look at photos carefully.

A beautiful spot next to a small lake where you can swim. There's no electricity, but water is available and the restrooms are very clean.
