Campsite was very close to a neighbor site. The neighbor used 3-4 gas lanterns until late in the evening and ruined night sky viewing and campfire relaxation. Park should educate visitors on being respectful with their lighting.

Brian was a great camp host! Such a beautiful place to camp inside the park. We were so lucky to stay before the smoke came from the fires. Wish the campground could open a little earlier in the year but understand. Love our local LVNP!

Great little campground with a fun swimming hole. Bathrooms were very clean with very little odor!!! We had deer roaming the sites in the mornings and evenings with the lake right there. It was a magical experience!

We were unsure if we were going to be able to keep our reservations with the fire so close. We were able to stay one night and explore Lassen. It is absolutely beautiful. We loved our camp spot as well. Unfortunately we did not get to stay the entire time because the smoke from the fires started to affect the air. We hiked the Bumpass Hell trail. We had planned to hike Lassen Peak the day we ended up leaving. We hope to be able to go back and explore more.
