Nice setting for cabins. I wish more parks had these. You have to know how to utilize windows for cooling down at night, and closing in the morning to keep cooler longer. Propane heater pilot light does add a little heat.
Windows all seem like they could use some wax, as some are very hard to open. Some cabin's window shades need attention. But all in all, I plan on staying every year. Very relaxing location.

Manzanita Lake Campground and cabins is a beautiful and peaceful location. I stayed in one of the small cabins and enjoyed the experience. There was a bear locker, picnic table, and fire ring close by the cabin. A vault toilet and water tap was a short walk away, and the showers and flush toilets less than .2 mile. The store staff was very helpful with firewood and the shower pass, and the campground was well maintained and clean. I recommend this location and would stay again.

The cabins at Manzanita Lake are in a fine place to enjoy the outdoors. A number of hikes are nearby as well as the lake for kayaking. There is a camp store nearby that is convenient and well run. This is the fifth year in a row that I have rented these cabins.

This is an excellent campgound for folks of all ages and a wonder for kids. The cabins were spotless, the store offered lots of food items and the surroundings are amazing.Nice hikes closely and both Manzanita and Little Manzanita are great for water sports or swimming. We recommend this for anyone.

A wonderful location and family friendly place to stay. The cabin was beautiful! We stayed in seven with our kids and had a view of the lake.

Family of 4 stayed one night on a Thursday (June 19).
Pros: great location, close to convenience store and flush toilets, friendly and helpful staff, better than expected from the reviews I read prior to the trip.
Cons: spent time to get rid of spiders and bugs on the ceiling (the broom came in handy)
Recommendations: hiking and kayaking Lake Manzanita, exploring subway cave lava tubes (20 min drive)

The tent cabin (T2) was seemingly new and not on the campground map but not in a bad location. Did not come with a table. The tent was comfortable and had plenty of space for an additional person. The campground was nice but you did have persons in regular cabins who would leave their fires unattended. Morons. The park had lots of nice scenery but snow in the road in June made enjoying it all difficult. The drive to the south side isn’t terrible, just had to take A6 and Lanes Valley Rd for a shortcut. The campground store staff was very helpful (thank you Sofi for everything!). Be sure to watch out for pedestrians… people are very oblivious and always expect to have the right of way everywhere. Limited items at the North visitor center. Highly recommend the south entrance visitors center, for kids too. There were two different Jr Ranger booklets between the entrances so be sure to get them at the south center. Overall Lassen was beautiful and Manzanita was a good experience.
