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.

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!

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.

It was super easy to get into our campsite. It was already reserved (by the host). The campground was tidy. The stars were amazing at night. The campground was VERY quiet which was impressive because the sites are a little close. The only tricky part was the bathrooms had no lights. A great campground experience.
