ScoutHat Creek Resort & RV Park
It’s pretty empty this time of year. Was informed it will close for the season next week. Camp sites are oddly marked. Lots of trees to navigate around. But spacious. Tent and RV Camp spots as well as cabins. Internet is the fastest I’ve seen at a park 40mb download. There is road noise at night so pick a spot in the back. Showers and bathrooms are very clean.

Friendly and clean
I used this RV park while roadtripping in a van. The people were friendly and the bathroom was super clean. I would stay here for tent camping too.

Cozy but no electric
Generally if I'm getting a cabin and paying extra for it I would like it to have electric. They did have propane heat though which is nice. That aside, the location is great. $5 for shower access for the duration. Close walk to the lake. Lots of wildlife.

Not a positive review
SAFETY HAZARDS: So many trees cut down with branches and debris left over and not picked up by the contractor or the USFS that could cause injury or death. Imagine tripping or falling in a hole and being punctured by pointy branches. I am sure this was not inspected after the contractor left or prior to departure.
HEALTH: Womens bathroom was open on Saturday 12 Sep 26, but then it was locked on Sunday 13 Sep 26. Water spigots were also turned off outside. The RV dump station down the street was also closed too. Not sure what happening here as it is not the end of the season yet.
SITES: Images online are not current/out-of-date, don't trust it. Many sites including mine had a lot of trees and now it has 1 or 2, with many stumps and debris left behind. Many sites have zero trees now. Our 20ft campervan barely fit on the asphalt pad and many were only about 10-15 feet long and then others were over 50. I guess you take a chance on what is real and what is not.
SIDEBAR: Over at the North campground, I saw cleanup crews with chainsaws doing work within 10-15 feet of a family who was camping and eating breakfast at the table. I would think this would be a not only a noise issue but also flying debris issue. I guess the USFS does not care about safety of the paying public.
OVERALL: I understand fire prevention, but when you cut down living trees and leave behind the branches and such to dry out, now that is a new fire hazard along with the safety hazard. So sad to see such nice campgrounds being turned into such eyesores and hazards. If you have small children, senior citizens or pets, I would strongly urge you not to make a reservation here. If you just need to a place to park your camper(not tent) then it would be okay as long as you are away during the day as there is very limited shade now. Oh, I forget to say my parents raised me here and they lived here after I went in the Navy and this is an embarrassment to the Almanor Ranger District in Chester.

Quiet Campground with Stellar Sunsets
Right on Eagle Lake in Lassen National Forest, this campground has a mix of electric and non electric sites with views of the lake. Clean bathrooms with mirrors, flush toilets but no showers. If you want a shower, bike, walk or drive down to the marina where they have private rooms for showers. Boating, kayak and paddleboard in addition to fishing (water is high alkaline which makes for big trout). Quiet campground with big sites.

For the North Campground, what a shame and serious safety issues for all.
Simply put, I am embarrassed to say that this one was opened with major safety issues. I was even told by a person at the Almanor Ranger Office in Chester that they were forced to open this campground.
Safety issues:
-Trees were fell and slash was left behind without cleanup by contractor.
-Boulders were moved and above mentioned slash was covering the holes left by the moved boulders creating major safety trip/fall hazards. These hazards could cause twisted and/or broken legs and feet and more.
-Fire Hazard: Above mentioned slash was left behind everywhere for it to dry out an become a major fire hazard. Yes, the camp site around the table and fire ring was cleared, but only by about 10-15 feet.
-Limited walking areas: As the slash was left behind, areas for walking or the kids playing was like walking in a minefield. Even on the paved drive path, there is holes and to move out of the way for trucks/campers requires movement onto the above ,mentioned slash that was not cleaned up.I grew up in this area and after being gone in the military for over 30 years, I came home. This poor campground is a disgrace and I am deeply saddened by the condition the USFS and it's contractor left it in. If I was in charge, I would not have let it open for public use due to the safety issues.
What a shame.
Michelle H.GuideSummit Lake North — Lassen Volcanic National Park
Excellent place to visit Lassen NP!
We’ve camped here every year for the past five years. This was the our first trip with our new to us travel trailer. We book six months in advance and always get sites B2 and B3. These sites have a beautiful view of the lake. We get up early and set up our blanket and chairs in our lake spot. The lake is big enough to paddle board and kayak but small enough where you can keep an eye on your kids the entire time.
Zero hook ups whatsoever, but you can use the dump station for free at Manzanita lake on your way up to fill your freshwater and then dump on your way out. Summit Lake North has flush toilets and sinks, I believe Summit Lake South Campground only has vault toilets.
Park Rangers patrol through every once in a while and the bathrooms are cleaned and stocked daily.
There is no cell service but if you drive about five minutes up the hill, you can get some service. It is a short drive to Kings Creek Falls and about a 15 minute drive to bumpass hell.
Highly recommended.

Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins — Lassen Volcanic National Park
Very Cozy
We arrived very late our first night, but it was very easy to get into our cabin using the code that was emailed to us when we booked the reservation. Due to weird bookings, we had to book 2 different cabins so we got to experience 9 and 16, each of which had a heaters, which is nice for the cold nights. Despite the campground being nearly full, we got great sleep both nights and everything was quiet after 10PM. There are multiple water pumps, vaults, toilet bathrooms, and bear trash cans, each of which are maintained very well. The campground is also not too far from the museum and visitor center which have Wi-Fi. You also have a campground store that is walking distance fro the campground, but is unreasonably expensive. A bundle of firewood was somewhere around $14, and this is where the showers are which were like $5 per person. They also have gas pumps, but neither of them were in service. Aside from all this, sites themselves were amazing, and you are very close to the Manzanita Lake, which is bigger than I expected and seems to be very popular for fishing.
Guide to Greenville
Glamping in Greenville, California offers options beyond the typical tent camping experience. Located in Plumas County at about 3,500 feet elevation, this region sits within the northern Sierra Nevada mountains where summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F during day and cool to 45-55°F at night. Most glamping facilities operate seasonally between May and October due to heavy winter snowfall that limits access.
What to do
Fishing in mountain lakes: Eagle Lake near Merrill Campground provides excellent trout fishing opportunities. "The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Site 12 had ample shade from the trees and close proximity to two restroom facilities," notes Brian P. who stayed at Merrill.
River swimming and tubing: The Feather River offers refreshing swimming holes accessible from Little Bear RV Park. Nathaniel S. shares, "It's right on the Feather river, with a refreshing swimming hole walking distance from the campground. Plumas Eureka state park offers a number of hikes that even little ones can manage."
Wildlife viewing: The region supports diverse wildlife viewing opportunities. At Merrill Campground, Lori T. reports, "The lake is appropriately named as we saw bald eagles daily." Similarly, Dan S. at Grasshopper Flat recounts, "Saw a Bald Eagle dive and grab a fish...Great fishing."
What campers like
Peaceful off-season visits: Many campers appreciate visiting during shoulder seasons. At Almanor Campground, one reviewer notes, "It definitely gets busy here in the summer but my stay in October was peaceful. Nice distance between most sites."
Spacious campsites: Sites typically offer good separation and privacy. Ron G. describes Grasshopper Flat as having "large area to spread gear out in, easy walk to semi-private cove on lake. AWESOME for birding - Bald Eagles, Pelicans, woodpeckers, chickadees & ravens."
Natural surroundings: Lazzarini Farms luxury camping provides a secluded experience. Joey L. appreciated that "I had peace and quite with no large buildings and being on a private road. It all gave me the feeling I was one with the nature all around me."
What you should know
Seasonal closures and partial openings: Always verify current operating status. Kurt T. shares important information about Almanor: "North is open, South is closed for Summer 2024. The North campground is OPEN, but you cannot reserve it. First Come First Served (FCFS)."
Insect preparations: Mosquitoes can be prevalent, especially near lakes. At Merrill Campground, Will M. warns: "The bad - Tons of mosquitoes! The Good- Great campsite in a nice remote area to take in nature, go hiking, bike riding, and fishing for trout!"
Limited swimming areas: Not all lakeside campgrounds offer beach access. Will M. also notes about Merrill Campground, "There is no beach to the lake, so sun bathers be warned." Similarly, Dan S. describes Grasshopper Flat's lake as "Opaque, green water from tall grass. A bit grimy."
Tips for camping with families
Check for nearby services: Some campgrounds offer nearby conveniences. Kurt T. notes about Almanor: "There is a General Store within walking distance and restaurant/bar right on the lake too. I highly advise reservations for dinner on the deck."
Find kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with open space and recreation options. Angela G. describes Little Bear RV Park as having "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."
Consider cabin options: For families new to camping, cabins provide comfort. Gilad S. at Plumas Pines Resort shares: "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."
Tips from RVers
Dump station locations: Plan for waste disposal needs in advance. Paul C. at Merrill Campground advises: "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."
Site selection for shade: Choose sites with adequate tree cover. James W. recommends Merrill Campground: "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."
Off-peak visits: Consider shoulder season visits to avoid crowds. Marty P. notes about Merrill 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."
