we requested a spot for a 25" trailer. which was confirmed. when we arrived, we found that we were in a spot for a tent. We did manage to get our trailer into the spot, but it partially blocked the spot next to us. What was more frustrating was the drive through spot across from us, for both nights, had small tents in them

Excellent campsite that was more laid back and peaceful than the larger campgrounds nearby. Walk to Summit Lake was very short. Campsite #24 where we stayed has partial shade and very close to a water faucet. Only recommended improvement for the campground would be to install solar powered lighting for the restrooms as they are very dark at night.

We stayed in site A07. When it rains, water funnels from both the impervious pavement to the east and the bank on the south of the site through the site and to the culvert. The only place to pitch a tent to avoid inundation is on the slope above the “ riverbed” . The site is generally not suitable for a tent.

The North Summit Lake campground is a terrific place to camp. The views, including Mt. Lassen majestically sitting above the lake, the stars and the lake itself. There is water and there are restrooms, which are very clean and easily accessible. It is easy to launch your water toys from the banks of the lake. We enjoyed it so much we booked again right after we returned home.
