Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins (CA)

The pictures of the cabins were a little deceiving. I was expecting them to be a little more secluded. The trail around the lake wasn’t what I was expecting either. When you got to the area of the trail where you could see the snow cap in the background there was a pop up canopy where some of the kayaks were and it made for bad pictures. I didn’t find the bath houses/toilet area to be that clean either. Coffee and gift shop were great!!! If you aren’t worried about people, this is your place. If you’d rather be secluded and not have many people, I’d pass.

Clean cabins and facilities. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Great view of the lake from our cabin. It was nice to have a sofa, table, chairs, and a bunk bed -- not sure if all the cabins were similarly equipped, but #7 had all that plus one bedroom with bunks on both sides (the bottom on one side was double, which allowed a member of our group taller than 6"2 to stretch out diagonally).

There is no picnic table. All other sites have a table excluding the two glamping tents. Bring your own table.
