Honey Lake Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting alongside US-395 in Lassen County, Honey Lake Campground gives travelers a working overnight stop with views across Honey Lake and the mountains beyond. The campground accommodates tents, trailers, and RVs up to 50 feet, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer available. Many sites appear to be long-term or semi-permanent, so the feel leans more residential than recreational, though short-stay visitors are welcome year-round.

Noise from the highway is audible but reviewers consistently describe it as manageable. Trees on the property help buffer the sound. Tent sites lack privacy and are grouped without separation, which works fine when the campground is quiet but could feel exposed during busier stretches. Cell service on T-Mobile has tested reliably on-site, though WiFi is also available. The small on-site store covers basic supplies.

The bathrooms and showers draw consistent praise. "Bathrooms were warm and had lots of hot water," notes Stephenie K., who visited in late December and found the campground open when other options in the area were closed. Tent sites run around $27.50 per night, while hookup sites have been reported at $35, with Passport America discounts available. Each tent site includes a picnic table, parking, and a garbage can.

Campers looking to explore the broader area can find campgrounds near Milford at various price points and settings. Those wanting a more dispersed experience might consider Laufman Campground to the southeast.

Beautiful views

We stayed late December 2025. We were pleasantly surprised to find this place because everything else in the area seems closed this time of year. We stayed in our camper van and our spot had water and elec for $35, and a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Bathrooms were warm and had lots of hot water. They were a little dusty-be sure to bring your own soap and towels, etc. Everyone was really friendly and kind even though we checked in after dark. noise from the highway was minimal. We would stay again.

Peaceful Camp in the Trees

What a serene little campground off 395. You can hear a bit of traffic, but the trees swaying in the wind muffled it pretty well! It has a great view of the lake and has tent, RV, and trailer sites- many that seem to be permanent. The hostess is a wonderfully kind lady and her little store had everything you need. I stayed overnight at a tent site for $27.50, which is a bit steep for me but had all the amenities. Tent sites are not private and I’m fortunate I was the only one. It did have parking at the site, a picnic table, garbage can, and water. The bathroom/shower was clean and tidy. There was wifi but my T-Mobile was plenty anywhere I went around camp. The wind and temps were spectacular just coming off a thunderstorm. I’d be happy to stay here a night or two- maybe three, but then be on my way.

Saving Grace

I drove way to long and when this campground showed up I was so relieved I would have stopped no matter what but to find out it’s charming clean and the manager a dear showers laundry and lots of space. The rv spaces look out over the lake tent camping in the back but you still have lake views

Nice Campground Across the Hwy 395 from Honey Lake near Milford CA

I stopped here in late April 2020 heading back north from AZ. It was 113 degrees when I left AZ and I was so happy that my first night at this park with cooler breezes my trailer finally cooled down inside to under 80 degrees. I planned to stay just overnight but I liked the park so much I stayed a second night. I'd definitely stop there again.

Owners were nice. This is a Passport America park and I have a membership so it only cost $25/night. At first I was a bit disappointed the lake was across the highway but over all I enjoyed my stay. It was quiet. The campground was at least 3/4 full.
