ScoutIt’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.
TravelerI 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.
GuideGenerally 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.
ScoutThis was a fairly nice campground in the sycamore grove. Mix of pull through and back in spots. Bathroom had showers that looked a bit old but did not use them. Bathroom door code was in the reservation receipt email. Fairly quiet and hosts were available and kind.
RangerReserved online when had cell service before arrival. Asphalt roads and pads in campground. Regular flush toilets still in use for season versus adjacent pit toilets. Used blocks to level RV. Many sites close to level. Store with showers and laundry within 1/4 mile easy walk. Manzanita Lake loop walk was fabulous! Would stay again.
RangerStayed in 24' RV on Ring Loop. Drive in reservation. Only 20% of sites filled. Rest of campground closed for season. Excellent individual rest rooms with sinks that have hot & cold water and flush toilets. Excellent token showers Most sites shaded under nice Ponderosa Pines. Great loop walks around falls and on part of PCH trail. A little distant traffic noice in morning and during day but not bad. Would stay again.
GuideRight 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.

Hiking trails: The area surrounding cabin rentals provides numerous hiking options. A camper at Manzanita Lake Campground shared, "I loved being able to hike right by from the campground on multiple hikes.

Evening atmosphere: The forest setting provides peaceful nights for cabin guests. "Waking up to the sound of the wind in the branches of the tall pines, while feeling nothing more than a breeze down below, is a pleasant experience," notes a visitor to the area.
Modern conveniences: The Village at Highlands Ranch provides year-round cabin accommodations with full amenities. A visitor reported, "This was a perfect campsite. 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."
Seasonal considerations: Most cabin facilities operate seasonally. "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," notes Kristi D. about Hat Creek Resort cabins.
Supplies and provisions: Stock up before arrival as camp stores carry limited items at premium prices. "Stock up on supplies" is common advice from experienced cabin users in the region.

Biking opportunities: Many cabin locations feature roads suitable for children's bikes. Angela G. shares about Eagle Lake campgrounds: "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."
Cabin size considerations: Most cabins accommodate 2-4 people, so larger families may need multiple units. Ashley A. explains about Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins: "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."
Full hookup options: Plumas Pines Resort provides RV sites with cabin-like features. Susan R. reports, "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."
Leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven terrain when booking cabin or RV sites. "Be ready to level your camper," advises Kim G. about the Manzanita Lake area, as many sites throughout the region require adjustments for comfort.
