Domingo Springs Campground

Stayed over 4th of July weekend for a visit to Lassen and it was a stunningly gorgeous campground.

We checked out the Warner Creek campground first before coming here and it was an easy decision to choose Domingo.

There were multiple spots open even on the holiday weekend and by Monday we were literally the only campers beside the host. The natural spring across the street is pure magic. Babbling, lush green, with deer and abundant birds. You can fill up all your water jugs here as much as you need and the water is so clean.

The campground is split. The first section sits right after a little meadow and has only three sites, but is clearly the better option for RV’s or trailers. It’s also a bit sunnier.

It’s separated from the 15 sites of the main campground by a small wooden footbridge that crossed the spring-fed marsh. The main section is more wooded, with some sites backing right up to the water and some that back up to the forest.

The campsites are big, nicely spaced out—you can find a private spot amidst the trees. There are a number of vault toilets, trash receptacles, and freshwater spigots spread around. No bear lockers so keep food and toiletries in a canister or your car. There didn’t seem to be much bear activity in the area.

It’s only about 10-15 minute drive from Chester/Lake Almanor where there is a Holiday Market you can stock up on everything you need.

The road becomes graded gravel about 1000’ past the campground so other than some hardy OHV’s the road is very quiet. Also, you’re only about a 1/4 mile from the PCT where you can hike down about a mile to the Feather River crossing.

We still can’t believe this place. Quiet. Beautiful. Off grid. Perfect.
