Nice, well kept, basic cabins. A great for a break from tent camping. Area was super quiet overnight. Overall Lassen is a very under appreciated park.

Waiting for a refund as cabin was not suitable

I changed cabins after 1 night - very difficult to do as no-one at the campground or at Recreation.gov could help. Eventually I was told to cancel the first booking and make a new booking. I managed to change and booked new accommodation at the campground for the same period as the original booking. I was promised a refund for the 4 nights unused from my first booking. Two weeks later the refund has not been processed. I have had to pay twice for 4 nights accommodation. I am not commenting on the campground or facilities just that Recreation.gov does not have a reasonable process for making changes to bookings - even if your cabin is damaged, you would have to make a new booking and it seems Recreation.gov will not refund the original

The cabin was rustic as advertised, but was clean and fresh. I would like to see more substantial and comfortable chairs for the porch and table. It was a good location and I would recommend the stay.
