The cabins were a lot nicer than I expected. The bathrooms always were clean as well and the personal I interacted with were helpful and pleasant.

We had a great time. My only complaint is the description says a lantern is included. No lantern is included. So make sure you bring one from home. I love that the store has a barista. We were able to eat breakfast at the cabin, then grab a coffee and hit the trails.

Cabins are very clean, functional and can sleep up to 7 in the bunks! There is no power and no water so bring a battery to recharge things. The cabins are definitely preferable to driving outside of the park each day and are close to the store and showers. The camp store has an excellent snack bar and friendly staff.

Lassen NP is huge. We spent several days exploring but also spent time at Lake Manzanita. The cabins are close to the lake with the furthest still only a few minutes walk away.
The lake is beautiful and allows swimming, fishing (with restrictions), and kayaking. Our family rented a kayak onsite which was fun. There were also paddle boards available.
The host for the campsite are very accommodating so be sure to mention if there are any issues. For example the heater in our cabin was broken but they let us borrow a Buddy heater.
The bathroom had issues for repair and the gas station was out of service when we tried to use it but otherwise the area seemed well maintained.
The bear box was large enough to fit our cooler and other bags. And each campfire ring is huge. We had a great time!

Our cabin was in a great location. We loved being next to the lake. The cabin was comfortable and we liked the porch. The instructions about what was available and what to bring were very helpful.
