Best Cabin Camping near Crescent Mills, CA

114 Reviews

Cabin options near Crescent Mills include both rustic and modern accommodations. Lake Cove Resort & Marina offers cabins with electricity, furnished living areas, and proximity to amenities. Little Bear RV Park features tiny cottages with basic furnishings and access to clean restroom facilities. Plumas Pines Resort provides cabin rentals with modest kitchen facilities and private decks for outdoor relaxation. Each location maintains different furnishing levels, with some offering full kitchens while others provide only minimal cooking equipment. "Clean bathrooms and laundry facility on site. There are tent sites, RV sites with and without hookups, cabins, and a trailer to rent," notes one visitor about Lake Cove Resort.

Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months from May through October when facilities operate at full capacity. Pet policies vary by location, with Lake Cove Resort, Little Bear RV Park, and Clio's Rivers Edge RV Park all permitting pets in their cabin accommodations. Crocker Campground offers a more rustic cabin experience with limited amenities but provides a quieter, more secluded setting. According to one visitor at Little Bear RV Park, "The owner Todd is a genuinely great guy, and you will see him working most days. So much love and care goes into making this place beautiful every day, it's worth a visit!"

Cabin guests should verify what supplies are provided before arrival. Many locations include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering only microwave access while others include small refrigerators and basic cookware. Most campgrounds with cabins maintain on-site markets or camp stores selling essentials like firewood, ice, and basic groceries. Manzanita Lake Campground in Lassen Volcanic National Park provides more primitive cabin accommodations without running water or electricity, requiring more thorough packing of supplies. Several campgrounds offer recreation amenities adjacent to cabin areas, including volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and swimming access.

    Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins

    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.

    Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Family Friendly, Sparkling Gem

    Manzanita Lake is a really family friendly campground. It’s great seeing the kids ride around the loop on their bicycles and scooters. We had a perimeter site in the A loop, adjacent to the trail that runs to the lake. These sites feel particularly spacious. Due to the type of pine forest, none of them will be private. The interior sites were ok on space for being in a National Park. There is a mix between 3+ night campers and the one nighters, so the park doesn’t completely empty out each day. First come first serve campers would be advised to read the reservation signs carefully, sometimes they are marked a day or two before occupancy and that might be enough time to squeeze in a visit.

    There are both plumbed and vault bathrooms, but there is no electricity—so wear a headlamp to the bathroom at night. There is also a water and drain area for dumping dish-wash water, etc. Each site has a bear box, and use of it for all food and food prep, as well as toiletries is expected—campers cannot use their cars. In A loop, we are only a short walk from all things Lake, the laundry and showers, and the camp store. The store has a small menu of hot food offerings available, and the groceries surmount to things found at a gas station plus a few extras like bacon. While travelers should always buy where they burn to prevent introducing invasive bug species, buying wood right outside the park might be a smart choice; the bundles here are $10 each! Ice is $4.65+ for a small 7 lb bag. Showers are $1.75 (7 quarters) for 3 minutes. Many of the groceries are double normal prices. I didn’t dare to check their gas prices! The kayak and canoe rentals are more reasonable. Cabin packages with cook stove, etc, are no longer available with reservations—even though they are still advertised. If staying here for a bit, adventurers will have to drive through Chester to get to other points in the park, like the Devil’s Kitchen (a most beautiful hike). Chester has gas, grocery, hotels, more campgrounds, and some really great local eats. Also check out Drakesbad Ranch if comparing alternatives; we hiked by it on our outing to Devil’s Kitchen and it looks pretty neat.

    Waking up to the sound of the wind in the braches of the tall pines, while feeling nothing more than a breeze down below, is a pleasant experience. The drive through Lassen Volcanic is stunning. Under the snow capped peak, wildflowers cascade down the mountainside to frolicking creeks and waterfalls. Emerald lake shines like a deep, green Emerald, and around the corner, Lake Helen is a sparkling Sapphire. The geothermal areas are always interesting and remind us of the forces behind this volcanic tower, and that Lassen is still active. All in all, a great place to car camp.

    Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    nice cabins near the lake

    This was our first visit to Lassen, and wow, what a beautiful national park! This campground was much warmer than the part of the park near Lassen Peak, there's a big range in temperatures. The cabin was comfortable temparture and did a good job of keeping the bugs out. There aren't any lights or lanterns though, so we wish we would have brought more lighting. The one other thing I wish I had noticed before booking is the height of the beds. I'm 5'1 and my brother and sister-in-law are untder 5'9, but my husband is 5'11 and couldn't fit without sleeping diagonally, poor guy.

    Very convenient to have the camp store and gas station right there.

    Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Beautiful Lake & Park

    This campground is BIG. there are four loops of sites.  I am a tent camper so this area can be on the crowded side for me with not enough privacy.

    That being said the lake is beautiful. Easy access for kayaks and canoes.

    The sites are clean, have table, food locker and fire sit.  Bathrooms are flush with showers available.  Close by are cabins to rent on the lake and a store, rentals and even gas,

    Great jumping off site to get thru Lassen Park. Can take 45 minutes to get to the other side but there is lots of hiking and incredible views.  And crazy geo thermal sites such as Bumpass Hell.

    Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Great Campground

    This campsite is pretty awesome. We stayed at site #21 in loop D. The sites were very large and came equipped with a fire ring/grill, bear box and picnic table.

    We had a great time exploring the park and hanging out around Lake Manzanita.

    Lassen National Park is beautiful and we hope to be back soon. Even during a busy Labor Day Weekend the park was crowded but nothing like a bigger national park (think Yosemite) in a regular weekend. It was nice being able to experience the park without feeling totally overcrowded.

    The camp store was very convenient if you forget anything!

    Hat Creek Resort & RV Park

    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!

    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).

    Little Bear RV Park

    Gem in the words

    Surprised how well maintained and friendly staff assisting with set up. Nice dog large area without enclosed fencing. All short term campers are located in the center very cozy. Lots of families and kids and noisy. We were able to ride bike in the park and on the road that was safe with little to no traffic. Several grass areas for guest minus pets. The perimeter areas are for permanent residence with several for sale. So no chance of getting some nice sites. A number of tiny cottages to rent. The railroad tracks along side of park and loud in early hours you got use to it. Will return but off season when kids are back in school. Also no access to creek from park. Recommend very clean park

    Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Great Camp in Lassen National Park

    Very large camp near the western entrance of the Lassen Volcanic National Park. Situated on the banks of Manzanita Lake. There are numerous tent, RV, and a few cabin sites available that you can get with little advance notice, unlike many other national parks.

    Manzanita has a small camp store with supplies with supplies, hook-ups, and dumpstations availability for RVs, and there is a boat launch for kayaks and canoes on the lake. You can also rent kayaks and canoes and fishing is also widely popular with licenses available in the store.

    The camp is also a short drive from the very cool and historic museum that has information about the volcanic history of the park as well as early photographs of the 1915 eruption. It is well worth a visit and has a junior ranger program available for kids, plus general park information. Manzanita is probably the largest camp location within the park and is busy, but there is plenty of opportunities to escape into Lassen.
