      It's along a cove in the lake. Super nice hosts and nice campers. The bathrooms are kind of gross but that's expected. Always camp here when we go to the lake.

      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!

      Required Action

      Perfection. It was early October, and while the AM Temps dropped to 32°F. I wanted to stay one more day. The toilet needed pumping out, to be expected at the end of the season. The water pump didn't produce, I had plenty. I recommend bringing enough to wash with as well as drink. This time of year, the creek was a babbling brook. For the 5 days I stayed, at most 3 campers, and one only stayed one night. Very peaceful, just what the doctor odered. Road is very easy to get down. I look forward to going back. However, I am posting a picture of a notice posted at the entrance. I would not pay for this campsite. It was perfect for what it was. If they do start charging, then I believe it would not be worth it.

      Great out of the way lake!

      It's a great place to camp out of the way from all the other campgrounds in Lassen Park. Just beware of the 5 mile gravel road into camp. The lake is close to the campground, quiet and peaceful. No motor boats. You must wear a life preserver if you put your boat in the water.

      Hidden Gem!

      Only $55 for a full hookup that’s a pull through. $50 for Good Sam Members. We came in too late to enjoy the comedy shows they have every first Saturday. If you happen to make it on time, “Carlinos” or the place the host it is in the North Tower. Go right at the main entrance. We missed it by wandering around the casino trying to find it. There are also amazing views at sunset and sunrise if you get to the lots closer to the end- which we didn’t. Great front desk staff! They also have routine patrol security.

      Laundry: $2.00 for washing machines and $1.00 for dryers. Must be done by 10 pm with the last load starting at 8 pm.

      Showers: $15/person- not included in RV fee

      Dump station: $10- only from 9am- 5 pm, although each site has sewer hookups.

      No wifi, but I’m not upset because the price was great and I had good cell coverage.

      Butte Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

      Peaceful visit in a National Park

      This was a very peaceful campground, given it was in a popular National Park.  The setting is very open, with tall pines and no undergrowth, but the sites are far apart.  There is no cell service, no dump site, nor any grey water dump pits.  The latrines are very nice with running water and toilets.  The toilet houses are the only place you can get drinking water and there are only about four locations.  There is no way to hook up a hose, even with a water robber, so you have to fill jugs and carry from the sink.  There is a campground host, but we had no interaction.

      I was there in late July and the lake was great (cold, not numbing) for swimming.  Several people launched kayaks and lots of people did the many hikes around the area.  Not really a place for riding bikes.

      The campground is at the end of a six-mile gravel road.  Not too dusty or bumpy.  Maybe that is why it wasn't so populated.

      For those looking for boondock sites, the first five miles are National Forest with several side roads.

      Very Clean Park

      We used Rolling Hills as a stop over on our voyage from Oregon to Arizona. We stayed one night. The park is CLEAN, Quiet, the sites level, The Park staff are helpful.  The park is on the campus of a casino with multiple eating establishments.  A Fuel station/truck stop in also on the ground.. I should be more generous in my ratings, but to get five stars the park needs mature trees. Guess I spent too much of my life in Oregon

      Really poor condition

      Despite the beautiful Joshua trees this campground is not a great to stay. The roads are in terrible condition, trash is strewn throughout, and staff is less than friendly or helpful. Roads are terribly narrow and sites are small and very uneven. Not a great place for a trailer nor class A. No direct access to park via road. Is next to neighborhood

      Nice and quiet with big campsites

      Large campsite with fire pit and large trees. There are toilets but I didn't see any showers. If you visit after the summer season it is dry camping meaning there is no drinking water available so keep that in mind. The campground is near the lake, and cinder cone trailhead.

      Nice campground with all year facilities. We enjoyed a hike to nearby cindercone volcano. Campground is nicely shaded. The water in the lake is low this year, but lots of campers brought canoes and boats. The boat ramp is closed. No motorized boats allowed. The last 7 mile to the campground is dirtroad.

      If you want remote in Lassen…

      Stayed at Butte Lake for two nights in late June 2022. None of the campsites has an unobstructed lake view, but it’s a short walk to the day use area on the shore. This is a good jumping off point for a ton of hikes on this side of Lassen NP; excellent signage tells you how far each destination is. The sites themselves are not very private; kids were rolling through our site on bikes all afternoon and evening, dogs were barking at each other, it was a little crowded feeling even though it was probably only at half capacity. (There were reservation cards on almost all the sites, but it seems like a lot of people didn’t show up.) That said, after driving past some of the other campgrounds right next to the highway, I was happy to have chosen this one.

      I had a very enjoyable time looking out at the scenery. 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. The camp also represents and embodies that same unity.

      Please practice LNT

      The first morning we were there my dog found and ate some weed that someone had carelessly and irresponsibility discarded on the ground and she became extremely ill and had to be rushed to the emergency vet for treatment. Practicing leave no trace is so important for the safety of all animals and the preservation of our wild lands.

      The road in took about an hour and a half and I would not recommend attempting it without 4WD and high clearance. There is one stream crossing but it is minor.

      Amazing getaway with a great view

      This is a great place to escape city life. Don't mistake this camp ground for the one in Joshua state park. The road to get there was the only headache especially since we drove a small car. We made it but I'd definitely recommend something with a higher clearance. There were 6 campsites with tables and a fire rings. The camp ground had a pit toilet and no running water. There was no cell service and alot of mosquitoes.

      A little….disappointing

      The campground and hosts were….awesome! The hosts were attentive and drove around in their golf cart regularly and diligently and were informative and friendly. The camp was good too. All was fairly quiet and the spots are far enough apart. However, the lake was dismal. It smelled like sewage and there was an algal scum floating all over the surface…the bad part is, we didn’t notice the smell until we were already in the water. I have been out on the lake about 20 years ago and it was great, from a boat out in the middle somewhere. From the beach? Miss me with that, please. One can rent a boat…only for fishing… We might stay there again, if we bring kayaks or boats or something.

      Out of the way and peaceful

      If you're up for driving down a bumpy gravel road for 5-6 miles, this campground is a hidden gem within Lassen. Facilities are clean, sites are decent sized and there's a beautiful lake (Butte Lake) and a couple of great hikes that you can do directly out of the campground. We did the Cinder Cone trail, which is short, exposed, extremely steep but has a great payoff in terms of view and curiosity factor. We stayed for one night only, as we were passing through and I enjoyed our stay. If you're freaked out about taking your rig down a bumpy and dusty road, I would avoid this one. Otherwise, this is a tranquil spot away from the masses, which easily offers a day or two of activities, including potentially serving as a base camp to see other sites in the park and area. e.g. Barney Falls.

      Great Spot, but far from all of the National Park sites

      The road is bumpy in, so plan on that. We pulled in our R V with no problems. The lake is small but beautiful. It has a lava flow going right into it. Great for hiking, biking, paddleboard, kayaking, whatever. It is a great place on its own, but if you are trying to see the Volcano National Park, it's a bit of a drive. We loved camping here.

      Remote Campground at Lassen NP

      Despite the remote location and the bumpy gravel road to get to this park, it is a very popular campground. Advanced reservation is a must. Make sure to read the signs about the wildlife and take the advice of how to store food seriously. We saw a bear just a mile outside the campground. 

      The sites are large and spaced far apart and shady. The lake is only a short walk away and great for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. The lake is surrounded by lava and the beach has been formed by volcanic material and smells a little sulphuric but the water is very clear. There are several stunning  hikes starting right at the campground .
