Best RV Parks & Resorts near Chester, CA

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

Amazing. Such magnificent views driving through the forest to get to Eagle Lake. We planned to stayed 3 days here as we camp in our RV trailer and part of the camp had full hook-ups. Upon arrival there was only one site left #24 which was considered full sun. (Minus trees) It was hot! Most sites had majestic trees and paved. The rest rooms well cleaned with soap. No towels just bring your own. Many campers had their kayak or fishing boats. We travel with electric bikes and dog carrier in tow. There is a total of 6 miles of paved bike path. We loved it! We rode to the other dry camp grounds all very big and spacious with the tall trees. Well whether you dry camp or partial hook-ups across from Merrill entrance is the RV dump station with full cleaning hoses at a reasonable price. We will be RV camping with reservations in the future as we selected some sites. It’s quite and peaceful unless you supply your own satellite, music, or videos. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing for trailer camping. The sites are close to each other, but every site has a small balcony you can back up next too. Majors Outpost boat rentals are also here and they are Super Friendly. Plumas Pines riding stables are also right up the street.

Came in just for a quick overnight stay on our way home from Oregon. We will be back. Extremely clean, easy to get in your spot. We have a 30’ travel trailer and there was so much availability, we did go mid Sept so kind of off season. Plenty of shade trees, full hook ups. A decent walk to the waters edge by reasonable.

This is a quiet campground. Full hook ups. Only 9 miles to Lassen Southwest entrance. Right off RT 36.

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

Very clean, full hook ups, can accommodate big rigs. Weekly, monthly, overnight. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star rating is that there is nothing around to do. General store across the street with gas and diesel, some food and drink.

Spent a 3 night camping trip staying here. While it is mainly an RV park, it does have some tent camping. There is a central bathroom that is clean. One trouble that we did have one night was the door to the women's bathroom was broken and no one could get in. There is a small lake in the middle of the lot where people can have catch and release fishing. There is a small store and restaurant, but we didn't get anything there. Many of the RVs seem to have been there for some time, every one was very friendly. The camp site had electric and water nearby with a fire grill.

This is a nice park, centrally located between Burney Falls and Lassen National park. The office signage still has former name but I booked on KOA app, where it's Burney Falls Hat Creek KOA Holiday park. There is a restaurant opened weekends. Decent store, friendly staff, beautiful grounds. We were parked near a lovely large pond/lake that had geese and dozens of pretty colored dragonflies flying about. If there were mosquitoes, didn't see them! These dragonflies looked well-fed! The bathrooms were recently remodeled and offered spacious clean private showers with good water pressure and temperature. It was very quiet during week and while nearby highway has traffic noise, it became peaceful at night. Slept well. Sites are kind of close but standard for RV park. No WiFi and we had no Cell service either. Still, we'd stay here again.

This place had everything for camping such as hookups, sewer, 30/50 amp, horrible WiFi, satellite if you can find it…. Skateboard park was nice but the people around weren’t. Watch out for needles because drug use was advertised…. They weren’t worried about getting arrested. The park for children was nice but don’t feel safe!!! Nothing else it advertised was close and at night we wanted to lock up night!! Vocabulary for RV campgrounds not RV parks because people lived and rented monthly spaces which is fine but not if you’re looking to have a camping experience!! We met another new camper and they felt the same way. They even encountered a grocery store employee DRUNK. She took her mask off and the smell of alcohol about knocked the him over. She was rude and drunk! Wouldn’t recommend this site or area!

This RV park is in a beautiful area, with many RV campgrounds to choose from. Which is one of many reasons I would recommend going elsewhere. Golden Coach is owned by a married couple, and the male owner is combative to say the least. They cater to a very specific crowd here, and they treat outsiders as well, the other. He was as rude, and unprofessional as could possibly be. This was the worst camping experience I have ever had. If you're a young family, and/or a family of color, I would strongly urge you to stay elsewhere. There are many resorts with hosts who are kind and welcoming in close proximity.

I’ve been here a handful of times, This is a former Boy Scout campground. No toilet. There’s a creek where the road first meets the campground. Potable water IMO but go ahead and boil it. Fire restrictions based on regional signage. I’ve had campfires fires here no problem. Existing fire rings. Plenty of wood in surrounding area but you can’t buy it, forage only. Chester is close enough to shop in.

Bugs are a problem (in summer?). bring bug spray and consider wasp traps too. Wasps are not angry kind but there’s millions. Wasps were not a problem for me in May.

This is an unmaintained campground. The grass is overgrown, the gravel is questionable. This is primitive car camping.

Halfway up from Chester to Juniper lake so great spot!

Don't come seeking serenity here, it's definitely a BIG family campground! There are a lot of large groups and families that come here (seems like they'll take up a big part of a loop by reserving multiple sites), so the sites at in the farthest corners will be your best bet if that's not what you want.

The hosts here in 2017 were quite nice, and the lake is lovely (it's a perfect swimming lake and should be pretty chill for kayakers as well). You're close-is to a town where you can get somethings, but it's pretty slim pickings so stock up before you head too far up the hill. Speaking of food, it's definitely bear country, and a site close to ours was stupid enough to leave their food out at night (guess what happened!!) It's also a dog-friendly campground, which is nice.

Be aware that there are several sites in the loop we stayed at (including ours) that have an entrance with significant grade, so you'll be backing up a camper/trailer up a hill. Since we had a more secluded site it was worth it, though!

Clean and quite. The sites are spread out and offer a lot of privacy. Full hookups $35, water and electric $30. Dry camp $20. On the south shore of Eagle Lake. No fires or Charcoal at this time. Would come back again. Stayed 3 nights.

Stayed at a full hookup site in my 22 foot travel trailer. We got a spot right on the water. The spots had a bunch of space between them and you had a feeling of privacy. The store here was closed, but there is one a couple miles down the road that is well stocked. We will be back here for sure.

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

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.

Stopped here on our way to and from Oregon. Easy pull through sites, full hookups. Friendly staff and they make it easy if you come late and leave early as we did.

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

So beautiful! The lake is nestled in the mountains. The scenery, fishing and water sports are superb! There are ample campgrounds with spots from tent camping to RV camping. They also have group camping right on the water! If you love mountain lakes, don’t miss this one... and book early!
