        Beautiful Forested Campground

        It's definitely a 5-star campground, but if you don't fish, kayak or do paddle boarding, there is nothing else to do within 20 miles. National forest camping with power and electric, Wow!!! The price with a National Forest pass was only $32.

        Perfect spot

        This was a perfect campsite. Came in late but everybody was eager and happy to help out. Met the hosts who took their time and explained about the park.

        Located only 10 minutes from Lassen and by the road and still an rv spot in the forest. Very nice.

        An upper class restaurant and a bar so something for everyone.

        Very recommandable

        Nice lakeside camp

        Large state lakeside camp, well laid out. Clean toilets but no showers. Ca, so expensive. Great bike/hiking paved path In The pines. Lake entry about 200 yards from Lowest campsites which are unpowered sites. Water and electric available on the two upper levels. We did not have reservations, 4 powered sites and many unpowered were available. We chose the basic site, closer to the lake side.

        A great place to stay in Graeagle, CA

        It was a great RV park to stay at in Graeagle, California. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is great. The town is only 1 mile from the RV park and you can easily walk there. I highly recommend the Graeagle Outpost for coffee, ice cream, and more.

        It would be even better if there was more space between each RV spot. It feels like your neighbor is right there in your business all the time. They put up fences to give some semblance of privacy but it doesn't really help because they are only partial fences.

        Stayed one night and loved Eagle Lake. Rare USDA campground with power and water. Lovely forest area shades the camp. Lots of families with bikes and dogs all on leashes. Great bike paths to ride or walk right next to the lake.

        This campground is huge and busy, but I was able to get a first come, first serve camp site last minute on a weekday. The lake is incredible and Lassen national park is a really special place so it’s a great spot to check out the rest of the park! The hiking is incredible and there is a trail that goes around the lake.

        Everstoke - Camping & Glamping MTB park... by a brewery in the amazing Lost Sierra!

        Camping

        I went to Everstoke a week ago. Based on my camping experience here, I would suggest to those who intend to come here to experience some camping styles. Traditional campers can choose from spacious tent sites where they can pitch their own tent, 2 player games and enjoy a rustic camping experience. For those looking for a touch of luxury, there are luxury accommodations, offering comfortable and stylish tents equipped with amenities like cozy beds, private bathrooms and even fire pits.

        Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

        Campground - Meh; Lassen - Gorgeous!

        General: Four loops plus a cabin loop, however, after September 5 at noon, the only loops open are A, B, and cabins. 

        Site Quality: Some pull-throughs and some back-in. 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. Some sites were close together with minimal separation while others had more trees separating them. 

        Bath/Shower house: There were several toilet options ranging from vault toilets to basic bathrooms with flush toilets, to larger restrooms with dishwashing sinks. Although there was a soap dispenser in the two closest to our site, there was no soap. The very cold water was oh-so refreshing on a cold September morning! The dishwashing sink in the A loop was locked but we did see campers using the one in the B Loop.

        Activities/Amenities: There is a camper store with food, showers, gas, and laundry available. You can access both Manzanita and Reflection Lakes (1.5 and.5 miles respectively) from the campground. The Chaos Crags trailhead is approximately a half mile from the A Loop. There are kayak, cataraft, and SUP rentals available for Manzanita Lake but it was a bit chilly when we were there. There is zero cell service in the campground but it is noted there is a milepost where you can grab a signal. On our Chaos Crags hike, however, we got a strong signal on Verizon!

        The campground was okay but worth it as a base camp for exploring the northwest part of the park. Happy this one has not been outsourced to a vendor and the price is still reasonable ($26 or$13 with the senior pass).

        Nice campground near Lassen Volcanic NP

        Nice spot near the NP. Level spot, nice clean bath and shower area. Got a nice hot shower, thank you!

        We stumbled across it when all the campgrounds in the national forest and national park for closed for the season and what a nice surprise. They had a little grocery store with ice cream..we had some ice cream. It was delicious.

        They had the cutest little resort with little cabins, yurts and spots for a camper or big RV. They had a volleyball court, cornhole and a basketball area. Great little spot! We would absolutely come back. Internet on my phone was hit or miss outside. They offered internet for a cheap price. $1.95 a day. 12 minute drive to Park entrance. Otherwise, you are in the middle of nowhere. 20 minutes to a grocery store. Beautiful spot!

        Everstoke - Camping & Glamping MTB park... by a brewery in the amazing Lost Sierra!

        There's nothing quite like Everstoke in California!

        I've been visiting and camping at Everstoke frequently since Brian (BKXC on YouTube) and Aaron (MTB'ing Adventures on YouTube) purchased the 91 acres a couple years ago. What an undertaking it has been! But 2 years later, they and hard working friends have created something very unique, in a truly fantastic location!  You just have to experience it to believe it. Seriously.

        Besides being able to build fun trails, and then riding those trails, my favorite things about Everstoke are the campsites nestled in the trees, without another campsite or 3 right next to me. I really enjoy the hang out area, meeting other guests and trading stories about where we rode, where everyone is from, and giving people suggestions for hitting all the other epic trails in the area. And it truly doesn't hurt that Everstoke is right next door to one of the coolest breweries I've ever visited (The Brewing Lair). 

        Four of my friends stayed in the "tiny house" during the Everstoke Enduro on 9/17/23 and were very stoked on it. Please let your not-so-campy friends know there's a great non-camping option at Everstoke that has all you need but the food and drinks you will consume! 

        Lastly, Everstoke has only just begun.  I think there are about 10 miles of riding on the property currently, and that's only on the bottom third of the 91 acres. So much more fun to be built up higher on the property! If you have ideas for trails and features, come on out and make them a reality!

        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.

        Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

        Comfortable, quiet, with all the amenities

        We took an eight-day tour through Northern California and this was our first leg. Tent-camped three nights.

        Trees help add privacy and make you feel like you’re not as close to your neighbor as you are. Campground was very quiet, even during the day, although we were there during the week, so I’m sure that helped. Stars were beautiful at night. Despite the blazing temps in other parts of the park we were always comfortable here, and even chilly at night! Bear box huge and all site amenities were in good shape. Couple bits of trash and a water bottle unfortunately littered about our spot.

        We did have about a dozen anthills spread throughout our site, but were able to pitch our tents a bit away from them. Never had them bother us. We also saw yellow jacket traps in the trees, and they did their job well. Hardly any mosquitos.

        Bathrooms mostly okay, except the last morning—strips of TP everywhere, 2/3 stalls not really clean enough to sit on, but I think that was more an issue of guest misuse than camp staff negligence. No dryers or paper towels, but there was soap. Nice dish-washing closet. Showers were hot and had good pressure, but one was broken and the shower head actually fell on one of us! They are no longer coin-op; you pay a $5 use fee at the camp store for the duration of your stay and receive a code to get into the shower room for when it’s locked at night. Otherwise it’s wide open (and I do mean wide—the ladies door is right next to the store entrance so make sure you do all your dressing/undressing behind your stall curtain, though there is a makeshift wall outside the door to help shield the room).

        Camp store was a nice place to refill water bottles on our way out in the mornings as we never did find a water spigot near our site. They offer a smattering of groceries (eggs, premade sandwiches, drinks) and have a little cafe, some souvenirs and camp supplies. They ran out of wood our first day there and didn’t know when it would be resupplied (it never was while we were there) but directed us to a place 20 min away where we were able to get plenty. Store folks knowledgeable and friendly. Tiny gas pump out back very convenient and actually decently-priced.

        There are a few hikes in the area but most of the main attractions are closer to Summit Lake campgrounds, however they don’t have all the amenities Manzanita does.

        Mill Creek Resort

        Very Close to Lassen NP

        This campground was very close to Lassen NP, which is convenient. Check-In is simply looking at your name on the board and finding your campsite, which is not clear from the confirmation email. It would've been nice to speak to a host to get the lay of the land. The vault toilets in the tent area are very dark even during the day, and are not well maintained. The showers were also very dirty with dead bugs everywhere. The trail down to Mill Creek while short, is incredibly steep and narrow. The creek itself is beautiful and you can hear it while you fall asleep which is nice. The tent sites in the upper numbers are well spaced out. And there are deer in the area that come right by your site :) Mosquitoes were not bad at all even right next to the creek. I would maybe try another campground that came recommend from a fellow tent camper while at this one. Also, I couldn't get a cell signal for Verizon the whole time I was at the campground.

        Quiet, clean, and beautiful

        Check in was super easy with the host George escorting us to our site. We went with a group and we were close enough together for hanging out. Short walk to town for a morning of mini golf. Even though the park is close to the road, I didn't hear anything. Memorial day weekend George hosted camp-wide dinner of BBQ tri-tip and kielbasa. Was nice not to have to cook and it was delicious!
        We had friends come for the day, no worries at all. The kids scootered and rode bikes along the camp roads, and drivers were cautious and patient. The showers are extremely clean, private, and comfortable. Seems like everyone complied with "camp shower" guidelines as I had good water pressure and hot water for my short but satisfying shower. The restrooms are equally clean. There was a vault toilet closer to our site, and they are cute and also extremely clean with good odor control and plenty of supplies. We have already booked for next year!

        Great Get Away Location

        We booked a 1 room camping cabin for 2 nights during a hiking trip. It was a great little place to stay for a few nights. It had the feel of camping but also some amenities of a cabin.

        As expected, we had a full size mattress with a table and chairs inside and a small patio set outside. The space also had a large bear box, fire ring and picnic table.

        The campground as a whole was very quiet, clean, and the vault style toilets were well maintained. The store was winding down for the season but the employees were pleasant and helpful.

        As a beginner RV-er/camper this site was great. Great staff, easy to get to and find your spot, and convenient spots with decks and hookups. 

        The neighbors were also awesome, and helped us with questions and guidance.

        Lots of RV's but didn't feel crowded at all, as most of them were not there(seasonal spots).

        The marina and rental folks were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. we rented a boat for fishing, and the guys slowly explained and guided us (yes... first time fishing as well). 

        So much to do around - hiking, water sports, geo-caching, and stargazing (when you roam a bit outside the lights of the camp).

        Convenient

        We did not have reservations and just showed up. It’s nice that they have first come first serve sites available with full hook ups. The Camp Hosts are wonderful people

        Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

        Crowded and confusing

        We stayed here the first night of our visit to Lassen. This campground is huge. It was almost full and we had a hard time figuring out which sites were available that night until we asked the CG host. We found a pull through that was available that night only.

        There is a gift shop and limited groceries available that is next to Manzanita CG. They have showers and laundry which we did not use. They even have gasoline.

        The park itself is fabulous.

        Beautiful campsite, quite and clean

        Our family stayed 3 days and 2 nights, the sites are on the smaller size. We stayed at B13. Restroom were clean, rangers come and clean it almost everyday. Trash is picked up every other day. Bear box was large, easily 2 coolers and more. Lake is just a short walk away and the story carry all the essentials that you might need

        Lake enthusiast paradise

        Close proximity to Eagle Lake. Sites are close together = no privacy. Bathrooms were clean. No showers but flushing toilets. Limited cell coverage. Great hiking trail on paved path accessible from campground.

        Beautiful park

        We loved our stay here. Stayed at the end of May 2022. Sites are large and spaced out. Big trees everywhere. Restrooms are clean, but don’t have anything to dry your hands with. Also no showers here. But everything is so nice it makes it a non-issue. Lake is amazing. Nice 10 mile paved trail for biking and walking.
