Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins (CA)

The cabin was great and we enjoyed talking to many of our neighbors. We had a number of great hikes. It was quiet at night. The only issue of importance was that the store is advertised as carrying groceries and there were virtually none to speak of except some junk food, there was no milk or eggs or fresh produce. Kayaks were advertised and they were not available for our stay. Firewood is extremely expensive at $15 for a couple of sticks of kindling and five small logs. Next time we will know to bring absolutely everything we might possibly need.

July 27-29. The most beautiful little cabin with screened windows, wood furniture, hooks for clothing, a table and 2 chairs. Plus a little outside deck with chairs. “10 was very shady, welcome, considering the temps were over 90.
The bear box was super clean. Crows/ravens were very loud in the morning and other times when they patrol the campground. Campground was pretty quiet other than that.

Good place to stay. Cabins not too close to each other, water and toilets nearby. Easy access to the lake, unfortunately the kayak rentals weren't operating during our stay. Stayed 3 nights / 2 1/2 days in the park. Be sure to keep your door closed - the first night a mouse got into our cabin; kept us up half the night, couldn't get it out until morning(!)

Horrific toilets and rampant price-gouging: those are the two things that stand out to me when I think of Manzanita Lake cabins in the Lassen National Forest. The cabins had rock-hard "mattresses" and were overrun with insects. Two nights there seemed like two months of jail time.

Manzanita camping cabins are a gem. Try and get the 2 room ones as people who snore can be segregated and the door closed on them.
