About Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins (CA)

Situated near the northwest entrance to the park, the rustic Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins offer convenience and comfort in the scenic setting of Lassen Volcanic National Park. These 20 cabins are the first new accommodations in Lassen Volcanic National Park since 1972, and are available in three models: 2 Room, 1 Room, and Bunkhouse. They are within walking distance of Manzanita Lake, a popular catch & release fishing and family destination, and offer a view of 10,457-foot Lassen Peak, the largest volcano in the park. The cabins are located one mile south of the park entrance, perched at an elevation of 5,890 feet and adjacent to a 179-site campground. The Loomis Museum, Loomis Ranger Station and popular hiking trails are nearby. Educational programs are presented at the museum and amphitheater within the campground.    Groceries, supplies, gifts, gasoline, laundromat and hot showers are located at the nearby Manzanita Lake Camper Store. Our cafe features a variety of delicious and healthy items including salads, fresh fruits, hot or cold sandwiches, espresso drinks and soft-serve ice cream. Kayak and paddle board rentals are also available on a first come, first serve basis at the Camper Store.  A map of our cabins can be viewed under additional information or on our website, www.lassenlodging.com.  Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ManzanitaLake.

The cabins are small but modern. The location near the lake and camp store can’t be beat.

excellent stay! This cabin is perfect- exactly what we needed. It was very clean, and had one double bed and then room for a pack and play and a small air mattress on the ground (I don't like being double bed close to my partner). Picnic table outside to do cooking, and a fire pit. It is very close to the small shop, and there are pit toilets and real toilets about equal distance away. The lake is nearby, and it was extremely relaxing. There aren't a ton of people around, everything is spread out enough that you can find your own space. What an enjoyable place to visit. We loved Lassen National Park!

The location is fabulous —right in the middle of everything —and the lake is spectacular, especially at sunset. The cabins are super clean and warm with heaters inside. The beds are comfortable. I would definitely go back and stay there.

Due to snow/dangerous driving conditions forecast on the days I was scheduled to be there, I was not able to stay in the park as planned. It was too dangerous. I called Rec/Gov and explained the situation. I understood at that point I could not cancel, so I requested another reservation for the Spring. I was told that reservation dates had not been released for next year and I could not reschedule, so I lost two days of payments totally over $200. No credit for a future stay was offered.

If Rec/Gov cannot schedule certain future dates, they should at least issue credit for a future stay. Despite what I consider to be a shortfall on the Rec/Gov system, I look forward to my next trip to Lassen.

We enjoyed our stay at Manzanitas Lake campground. The location to the lake was very convenient for the Manzanitas Lake Trail. The heater inside the cabin was very nice to have during the cold nights. Bathrooms and the campstore were both conveniently located. We did arrive towards the end of the season, so many items were sold out in the campstore. Additionally, I recommend that anyone staying here, bring extra padding for the mattress as it is very hard.

We made it on the last day of cabin camp open. It was really awesome experience. Our first cabin camp experience and the facility was dustless. Everything was beyond our expectations. Propane heater was on and off automatically. We experienced the first winter storm in such a cozy cabin in the Lassen National park. Even during the federal shutdown period, the site was well maintained with nice clean bathrooms and 24hours showrooms.

Sweet cabins and cosy even though our propane heater ran out in the middle of the night. Situated by a beautiful lake and at the end of the season, and during the shut down, so not sure if it is always so quiet there.

Shocking to see how much of the park was burned by the fires in the past few years but still beautiful. Want to go back and see how things change!

Cozy cabin with heat (but no electricity even though I could see the old wiring there).
Good for family or a small group to relax and stay when it's raining out there.

Second time to this campground with my 6th grade students (Geology!). It's lovely, but this time around our cabin heat didn't work, blinds couldn't be lowered for privacy and the men's shower room was closed. Knocked on the host's door a couple times but there was no answer.

Would come back but with lowered expectations.

The folks working in the store were pleasant and helpful.
