SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Lassen RV Park Campground offers 44 full hookup sites with 50-amp service in McArthur, operating from mid-April to mid-October. Hat Creek Resort & RV Park accommodates motorhomes with full hookups including 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, and remains open April through October. Several RV parks near Cassel provide big-rig friendly sites with pull-through options, though site dimensions vary considerably between locations. Burney Falls/Hat Creek KOA features full hookup sites with 50-amp service, while Hat Creek Hereford Ranch RV Park provides water, sewer, and 30-amp electric hookups. "The back-in sites were, for the most part, better suited for tent camping as the camper pads were quite short and many were not level. We lucked out in that our camper pad was only slightly unlevel and we could make it work with our camper van."
RV travelers should note that many campgrounds in this region have seasonal closures, with most operating between April and October. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with some parks offering WiFi for an additional fee. Dump stations are available at most RV parks, though some smaller facilities may have limited capacity during peak weekends. From Cassel, most RV parks provide convenient access to Lassen Volcanic National Park, Burney Falls, and Hat Creek for fishing and outdoor recreation. A review mentioned, "This is a nice park, centrally located between Burney Falls and Lassen National Park," highlighting the strategic location for exploring regional attractions. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with designated pet areas available at several parks, though restrictions may apply in certain communal spaces.

Mill Creek Resort
Nice Private Campground
This campground is just south of Lassen Volcanic National Park. It has two main sections, one for RVs and the other for tents. There are a small number of RV sites with full hookups and then a larger number of tent sites. The RV sites are fairly small, but felt separated enough to have some privacy. The tent sites are a bit more rustic.
The other slightly odd part is that most of the RV sites were filled with people who came and stayed for the entire summer, year after year. We were the only not long-term camper in the RV section.
Pros:
* Close to a lot of amazing scenery with Lassen
* Well kept, clean, quiet campground
* Camp store/restaurant is great
* Laundry on site
* Access to a nice little creek w/swimming hole
Cons:
* Camp store is open limited days
* Tent sites only have pit toilets which are not the best maintained
OK:
* No fires in the RV sites
* Showers were not always very clean

More than just camping
More to the campground than just camping. Fishing in camp and nearby. Friendly staff. Had originally reserved a back in site, but emailed to hopefully get a pull through. Got a quick reply, and all taken care of. Campground is close to other fishing, the Subway Cave (ya gotta go there) Lassen National Park entrance and much more.
Kevin M.GuideMt. Lassen-Shingletown KOA
Shaded and Private lots
Mt. Lassen / Shingletown KOA Holiday in Shingletown, California might just be my favorite KOA we have ever stayed at.
We are at site 30. This site has FHU with 50 amp. A patio, privacy fenced in yard, fire ring, table and chairs, rocking chair, and a propane grill you can use as desired. The site is a pull through and give you complete privacy as well as shade all day long.
We arrived on a Friday, they had free outdoor movie for the kids with free snow cones. Saturday there was a free pancake and sausage breakfast, and Sunday was free all you can eat ice cream sundae.
There is also a heated pool that stays at 80 degrees. A large playground and courtyard, a Pavillion, and free coffee and hot chocolate.
The campground gets you about 20 minutes to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Making it a perfect place to set up camp while exploring the park.
The staff is AMAZING!!! Extremely friendly and you can easily tell they love their job at this KOA!! I will be returning here again in the future. My kids don't even wanna leave the campground they love it so much

Clean and Friendly
We are new camping trailer owners and needed a spot to hook up and test everything out. Gentleman at the office was very friendly. We had spot 24 which was very easy to pull in and out. The pull through spaces are only $4 more per night. Nice outdoor cooking area directly across from our spot. We were only there about 5 hours so we didn’t see the other amenities. Some long-term campers there, but the park is clean and maintained. Not much shade but we would definitely return if we need a place for a night or two. We paid $59 out the door.

Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park
Manzanita Lake Campground - Tidy but Tight Spaces
Manzanita Lake Campground is the campground closest to the north entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park. It is best accessed from California State Route 44/89. My wife and I reserved space A8 for a four-night stay beginning August 7, 2023.
While the campground is well-maintained, I cannot, under any circumstances, recommend that space for anyone camping with an RV or travel trailer. From all appearances A8 looked perfect. But appearances can be deceiving. Looking at an online map of the campground A8 appeared to be a pull-through site which it is. The problem is the site dips down from the access road, bottoms out slightly, then rises again back toward the access road. It took us nearly an hour to locate an area within the space that would allow us to attain a reasonable level so that our refrigerator would operate on propane. And our travel trailer is only 18-feet in length. Once the trailer was reasonably level, the entry step was approximately 18 inches from ground to the step (see images).
Despite the initial difficulties, once settled, we found the campground to be quiet even though there is not a lot of space between sites. The camp store offers some grocery items but is mainly dedicated to the sale of tourist merchandise. It does have a gas pump offering only 87 octane regular gas at $4.99 per gallon - cash only which is below market price for the area.
We would camp at Manzanita Lake Campground in the future but would be highly selective in our choice of sites - driving through the various loops we noted that very few are close to level.

Redding RV Park
Clean and Friendly
This RV Park is right off the 5 in Redding. There’s a small dog run fir some off-leash time. Clean bathrooms with showers. Some long term residents and some travelers. Everyone was quiet and friendly.

TravelerSummit Lake North — Lassen Volcanic National Park
Small quiet retreat
Stayed 2 nights, August 17 and 18 in B22, Loop B. This is a smaller campground that contains 2 Loops, A & B. We could see a bit of the lake from our site through the trees. No hookups although drinking water is offered as well as restrooms. Campgrounds are well maintained with bear lockers and rv sites ample. Road into the park as well as rv sites can accommodate big rigs. Generator hours are a bit odd although the only time we needed it was briefly in the morning to fix meals. Clouds drifted in about 2:00 p.m. each day with some sprinkles for about 1/2 hour keeping temps cool. Wonderful stay! Definitely would come back - picked out our preferred site already!

Quiet campground next to busy day site
Where camped here just after they opened in April, 2021. The daytime visitors made for a large crowded parking lot and line at the entrance station, but so far on 8 campers in the 64 sites that were open.
It is a wonderfully shaded park (i.e. no solar) and the sites are nicely separated. However it is an older park and our 18 foot trailer was too large for many of the sites. There were no pull throughs and any trailer over 25 feet is going to have a problem. Otherwise, for the most part the pads were paved and flat.
They had solid picnic tables, aging stone fireplaces, but nice, newer heavy metal fire rings. Wood was available for purchase. There is no electric on site and the water faucets (not threaded) were scattered around the site. No dish water dump or cleaning station, but there was an RV dump station. They flush toilets with hot and cold water sinks as well as the showers (2 tokens for $1 = 4min) are excellent.
This is a cell dead zone. Absolutely no Verizon service until you drove back to Burney.
We really enjoyed the different hikes that were available, being around 2 miles more or less in length. The falls are the usual tourist zoo, but very beautiful. Once you get out on the trails, you don't see many people.
