Very friendly camp hostess who was kind and welcoming. Facilities were very clean and stocked. A nice quiet campground still close to I-5. About an hour from Lassen without the crowds.

This is a spacious, peaceful, basic, reasonably-priced campground with easy access, and many adjacent hiking & biking trails. I stayed in my 23-foot motorhome, ìn a shady space with no hookups. I will stay again soon!

Most important to this review is that we stayed at site 24. There was very little shade; the trees surrounding were mostly thin/dying. This site is much too close to non-flushing toilets so the intermittent waft of poo in the air was disgusting. This campground is right up against a public park (huge parking lot). Despite the park being closed after a certain hour, cars, vans, trucks, motorcycles, Uhauls, etc. were constantly coming and going late into the night (we stayed up until about midnight most nights). That didn't make us or our belongings feel very safe at night. One night (~11 pm) we were making smores and were startled by a few vagrants up to no good in the closed public parking lot. A van had just pulled in, smashed into a curb, and then a woman screamed "Someone help me!" This was ~10 yards from our site! We ran over to see a van with its sliding door open. The driver ran out saying the sliding door slammed on her hand. I ran to get ice. My husband said the driver told him they drove hours to be there (at 11 p.m.!). All very unsettling. I will say that the surrounding walking paths are gorgeous for a day trip. Our experience would have been different if we had stayed at a further site from the park. However, even with that, I will not be going back to this campground.

Great option for traveling through. Gate locks after hours, but with reservation (phone reception good right at the gate) will get code to get in. Clean facilities, sufficiently quiet.

Bathrooms needed a code to get in and weren’t fully functional. Campground was half empty but decently clean. Site was ok sized.
