"I would stay here a couple nights again, because the creek is beautiful, and the valley seems remote, while still being close to a moderately large highway, and Quincy, for restocking."
"Only downside is it is near a railroad. Be aware that google maps will take you through private property so you need to look at the map to avoid that!"
"The spaces are large, sunny and shaded with lovely trees and all within walking distance from the lake. Staff is friendly and helpful and the park is always clean. "
"Our visit to Lake Almanor was amazing. My Dad brought his sail boat and the wind was perfect for sailing. The campgrounds are spacious and the restrooms are clean."
"There is also a water access to go easing and a few deep spots for swimming.
There are also 3 Poké stops and a gym for Pokémon Go players."
$17 / night
"This campground is a hidden gem on Butt Lake. There are first come first serve sites and also sites to be reserved. It has a few walk in sites and mostly drive in."
"We were fortunate to discover Butt Lake near Lake Almanor. Only one small burn area far from the campgrounds. Friday was opening day for Cool Springs campground. "
$35 - $45 / night
"Its a short walk down to the river. The river is warm and slow right there and it has crawfish. My boys caught a handful and had a great time!"
$20 / night
"Excellent location for lake and swimming hole access. Kirkwood right down the road provides groceries as needed"
"Once again we found ourselves on the weekend of our road trip and because we didn't have a plan of where exactly we would be on a certain day- we failed to stay in Lake Tahoe."
"Lake cove is always a good choice. Clean bathrooms and laundry facility on site. There are tent sites, even sites with and without hookups, cabins, and a trailer to rent."

"Part of Butt Valley Reservoir, this is the upper (and nicer) campground on the lake. Pave roads are great for kids for bike riding, scooters and skateboards."
ScoutCleanest pit toilets we’ve experienced anywhere Great access from highway All amenities (table, fire pit, cooker) all appear new Great views, spacious, quiet We will come back
GuideWe spent the weekend here and camp host were great. Bathrooms were clean. Only downside was no dump or fresh water and it’s a 30+ minute drive to town. Biggest downfall of this area is the hour long drive with a trailer down the wash board road. Other than that everything was great. Fishing was good. Clean camp.
LegendWe enjoyed staying at Manzanita Campground when we made a last minute change of plans to have cooler weather. The elevation makes a big difference! We were in two different sites as we made same day and next day reservations. Yes, some of the spots are tight, but we were able to get two nice sites that felt more open. I loved being able to hike right by from the campground on multiple hikes. Sadly, due to staff shortages, the wonderfulv Loomis museum which chronicles the eruption is closed during the week days. Bathrooms in B loop nicer than in A loop. But A loop closer to lake. Be ready to level your camper.
GuideDrove right by it, but had the aea to ourselves. Took a nice walk by the lake.
GuideWe stayed here for one night and there were people up drinking and playing loud music until about 3am. Also, our fire pit was full of broken glass bottles, plastic bottles and empty beer cans from whoever had stayed the night before (embers were still burning when we arrived). There is no host here so I guess no one to really keep an eye on things. I wouldn’t count on getting a good nights sleep here, but the location is lovely.
GuideThe 6 mile gravel road to the campground is the only challenge. Traverse at your own pace — we have a bumper pull trailer and went slow the last 1.6 miles in (thanks to a friend’s warning). Still not a deterrent or worthy of less than 5 stars. Campground is spacious and clean. Hiking is amazing. Lake is pristine and the beauty of the place is unparalleled. No potable water. No dump station. Generators can be run 3 times a day for 2 hours — see ranger station for specific times. Online reservations only! No FF spots.
TravelerWe arrived late, and pulled into the first spot we found just to be safe. Woke up this morning and it's beautiful, quiet and no one else near by. We have a 34 ft travel trailer and no on issues getting into our spot. 20 minute drive to the cinder cone trail head in Lassen National Park. There is a vault toilet but it is not well kept.
TravelerLots of flies but a beautiful site
TravelerOur parking spot is big enough for our travel trailer, right next to the creek. Clean, quiet, safe. No traffic. But No cell service.
