The cabin was clean and nicely positioned with a partial view of the lake nearby. My only negative comment would be regarding the heater. There are no instructions inside the cabin as to how to properly and safely turn it on. You can’t turn it on with the thermostat and I’m assuming the outside propane needs to be turned on. There should be instructions.

We spend a few days in a camping cabin every summer. This year, the main issue we encountered was the notable shift to very meager selection of goods and food items in the camp store. Clearly, the concession-holder has chosen to stock the most minimal of food and sundry items, which is a major change from years past. The Lassen/recreation.gov website for this location should clearly inform campers that the store is carries a very limited selection of goods (milk, for instance) so that campers can plan ahead. We also discovered, after paying for showers, that there was no hot water in the women's shower room. If you charge $5.00 for a shower, the water should be plenty warm.

Amazing view of the lake, calm atmosphere, and nearby hiking trails (driving distance). There is no wifi at the cabin but there is wifi at the museum about 1/2 mile away. This campsite was not shady at all - that was unenjoyable when cooking breakfast and dinner but we ate on the porch where it was shaded.

Cabin was very clean! But we found the bed too small for us. Just personal preference.
