Things to do in Lassen Volcanic National Park
1. Manzanita Lake Campground
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
This facility is open for camping with full services from June 1 through September 30.
Quietest campgrounds we have ever visited
Reviewed By jeffl854We stayed in our trailer at B13. A small site but enough room for the 5 of us. The restrooms were within 30 yards, water was 20 yards away and trash cans were 15 yards away. The restrooms were clean, the garbage truck came by twice in the three days that we were there. There were mix of kids and seniors at the campgrounds and I would assume that the quietness was due to lack of 20s and 30s young adults there. Camp store had some essentials but not as well stock as Yosemite Valley store. We like the B loop because the campgrounds were much flatter than A loop. Other reviews state loop A was more spacious that may be true but not by much. Large bear box and can fit 2 weeks' worth of food inside.
2. Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 53 reviews
Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins are located near the northwest entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park. The rustic Camping Cabins provide convenience, economy, and security. These 20 cabins are the first new accommodations in Lassen Volcanic National Park since 1972, and are available in three models: 2 Room, 1 Room, and Bunkhouse. We also offer special Amenity Packages for visitors looking to add something special on this trip, or to just round out their camping supplies.
Pets not allowed
Reviewed By Viajamos2020We booked based on review saying it was pet friendly and that pets are allowed. Unfortunately, Recreation.gov says no pets in cabins. Only good thing is that we were able to cancel. I would say check before booking about pet friendly reviews. this is not a reviw of the cabins, just of their pet friendliness since it is on apet friendly list.

Calm campground in the mountains
Reviewed By macaron789Excellent starting point for hiking tours in Lassen Volcanic Nationalpark. The lake is quite cold, ideal for refreshing on warm summer days. The temperatures at night time can drop to app. 0 °C so bring warm clothes, gloves, and a hat. The bathroom facilities were very clean.

Sleep under the stars, inhale the putrid air.
Reviewed By PharmerblyWe booked our site (#10) a few weeks in advance. We are not at all high maintenance campers and enjoy dispersed camping in our native Colorado. I saw on the map it was going to be a commute to and from the main body of the park but as I write my review I feel compelled to illustrate this. My son and wife took off in the morning of day 1 on a five mile hike to Summit Lake. My daughter and I drove to pick them up with a short stop at the market in Chester for ice. It was a 2 hour drive with a short stop in Chester for ice. My point being, it’s 45 minutes to Chester and another 45 minutes to the park entrance so just be aware you’ll log some drive time to get to the main park. We really enjoyed the park though, no crowd, wonderful hikes (Kings Creek Falls was splendid!) and a great swim at Helen Lake. Upon return to the campground we had been kicked out of our site unceremoniously as the park (recreation.gov) double booked the site. Luckily there was a first come site available so we relocated. What stands out though is at both sites, as the cool evening air sweeps in (and it hit 40F) the relatively warm air of the pit toilets decides to mingle with cool air which made my tent smell like I was sleeping in a septic treatment facility. It could literally gag a maggot. I am thinking they should pump the vaults out more than once a season. I give a free star to sites in the national parks because I love the national park system, but this one was the worst of our camp sites.

A quieter, more rustic campground
Reviewed By SonomaTrekkerButte Lake Campground has approximately 100 sites, set among the pines, each with a fire ring and a table. The are many well-maintained restrooms, and the lake, while not visible from most campsites, is mere steps away. The campground is off hwy 44, down a well-maintained 6 mile gravel road (not a problem for RV's). Butte Lake campground is a nice choice if you want something quieter than the more popular, and crowded, Manzanita Lake campground (we went mid-week in September and it was less than half full). The Cinder Cone Trailhead starts at the bottom of this campground, as does the shorter but scenic Bathtub Lake loop.
