Best Cabin Camping near Mill Creek, CA

Several rustic cabin options can be found near Mill Creek, California, with varying levels of amenities and comfort. McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park offers over 20 cabins in the Pioneer Camp area, equipped with bunk beds and space heaters but minimal furnishings. "Cabins though were not what we expected. 2 room cabin and we got 2 bunk beds and a space heater. Nothing in front room. Bring your table and chairs. Bunk beds were comfortable though!" notes one visitor. Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins in Lassen Volcanic National Park provide one-room units with full-size mattresses, tables, chairs, and outdoor amenities including bear boxes and fire rings. Mill Creek Resort features cabin rentals with access to clean bathrooms, showers, and a small camp store selling wood, ice, and basic supplies. Hat Creek Resort & RV Park, about 12 minutes from Lassen National Park's entrance, offers "cute little cabins" alongside recreational facilities like volleyball courts and basketball areas.

Cabin types range from basic one-room structures to two-room layouts that accommodate families. Most cabins are pet-friendly, though McCarthy Point Lookout cabins prohibit pets. Reservations are essential during summer months when Lassen Volcanic National Park and McArthur-Burney Falls see peak visitation. According to one camper at Manzanita Lake, "We booked a 1 room camping cabin for 2 nights during a hiking trip. It had the feel of camping but also some amenities of a cabin." The cabins at McArthur-Burney Falls feature small porches where "all cooking and hanging out is done outside the cabin." After September 5, only loops A, B, and the cabin loop remain open at Manzanita Lake Campground, making advance planning important for fall visits. Lake Cove Resort & Marina in Canyondam provides year-round cabin options with laundry facilities on site.

Most forest cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, as noted by a visitor to McArthur-Burney Falls: "They also have cabins for rent, but you have to bring your own bedding." Kitchen facilities are typically limited or nonexistent, with cooking activities taking place at outdoor fire rings or picnic areas. Basic supplies can be purchased at camp stores, though selection is limited and prices tend to be higher than in town. The Manzanita Lake camp store offers "a smattering of groceries (eggs, premade sandwiches, drinks)" along with a small café and camping supplies. Visitors staying at cabins should pack all essential toiletries, cooking equipment, and food items, particularly if planning an extended stay. Cell service is spotty or nonexistent at most cabin locations, with McArthur-Burney Falls described as "a cell dead zone" with "absolutely no Verizon service until you drove back to Burney."
