Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins (CA)

Cabin was wonderful and overall really happy with the campground.
Highly recommend spending time driving thru the park and stopping along the way.
We hiked to the top of mount Lassen, which was not easy but the views were absolutely gorgeous.
This is one of my most favorite national parks.

The bathroom at the market had no water supply for the sinks. The showers need to be clean at least once a day. There was copious amounts of human hair in the drains; used bandaids and sanitary pads on the stall floors. A couple of the vault bathrooms were out of order and the big metal trash container lid was sprung and wouldn't close. One of the young men who clean the cabins was very nice and helpful and when he knew our family was arriving sooner than 3:00 pm, he took the initiative to get the cabin cleaned first.

An underrated National Park. Great hikes and beautiful panoramic views without a crowd of people. Thoroughly recommended for 3 days to explore and more if you want to spend a day chilling. Bring a lot of water and sunscreen, it gets sunny during the day, and some hiking in altitude is quite cold, but you can get sunstroke. Nights are not cold, but a hoodie is always welcome to enjoy outside next to a firepit :).

We stayed in a cabin right next to Manzanita Lake and the lake was beautiful. We had a nice, easy hike around the lake on one day and another nice hike down to King's Creek falls. The falls hike was pretty scenic but would probably have been nicer before the Dixie fire tore through the area. The only downside of our trip was that the Bumpass Hell trail was closed due to snowpack so we didn't get an up close look at the hydrothermal features. Other than that, the park was beautiful and our 5 and 2 year old kids had a great time (my older kid is obsessed with volcanoes at the moment so that helped him to enjoy his experience even more).

cabin had a very dirty floor and the screens didn't fit well, resulting in lots of bugs getting in.
