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.

Nice campground. Sites are close but that's not too bad. The lake is great for swimming, if you do a Backcountry like we did the lake is perfect to get back after being away and just jumping in.

repeat camper here … no camp host this year. Toilets fouled early on with busy weekend.
i wish there was a better system for reservations… seems like several people book sites and never show up… not considerate of others.
I think its time for all national parks to have electrical plug-ins for EV and for avoiding having to run generators… i have solar and batteries however most campers dont… the noise and pollution of generators should be addressed.
had a great time… we enjoy the ranger talks and the park is beautiful!

Wonderful location for a family camping trip. We enjoyed the Lake every day and the kids especially enjoyed completing their Junior Ranger programs.

The campsites are a bit close together but the vibe was great, people were generally respectful, and it was so close to the lake! Would definitely go again.
