Manzanita Cabins are a lovely place to spend a few days relaxing and enjoying the out-of-doors. Then only drawbacks I find iare that there is no internet service available for campers. This is inconvenient when you have family that needs to be able to contact you in emergencies. Also, the cabin we rented was supposed to sleep 3, however, there was only one full-sized bed, which meant one of us had to sleep on the hard floor. The online information should state what sleeping accommodations are in each cabin so campers can come prepared. Otherwise, this camping experience will become an annual tradition for us as we had such a wonderful 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.

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.

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(!)
