"This place is cool - the Mineral Lodge and Restaurant is where we checked in for campground. We needed a place to stay before heading into Lassen Volcanic NP."
"We’ve been on a road trip through California living in a van so after hiking lassen all day we were on the lookout for a shower . This place had a hot shower and toilet !"
"Mosquitoes were out in full force thanks to the proximity to the creek, and the cattle from the ranch next door were mooing all night. Charming!"
"The beauty of a lovely camp like this is the interlude of serenity you experience, away from the busyness of our daily routines, rules, and limitations.
It is a beautiful, clean camp."
"The sites are "walk-in" which varies from maybe 50 ft to 200 ft from the parking lot."
"When we originally planned our year-long trip to all of the national parks, we did our best to avoid the massive snow packs that limit accessibility to the parks."
$24 / night
"Our decision for our final resting place -pun intended- was situated between two rocks on the flattest stony ground we could find. We had heard gusts could reach 70 mph at night."
"We stayed here two nights after spending one night at the larger Manzanita Lake CG.
The are two loops and about 40 sites. There is also a South Summit Lake CG."
"This is so close to Lassen without the busyness of the park in summer. We visited end of July and the access to the creek was so welcome."
"Pros:
* Close to a lot of amazing scenery with Lassen
* Well kept, clean, quiet campground
* Camp store/restaurant is great
* Laundry on site
* Access to a nice little creek w/swimming hole"

"Like its sister site to the north, this camp site is next to Lassen’s Summit Lake at approximately 7000 feet."
"Summit lake is a great place to hang. There are campgrounds on either side of the lake and this one is the more primate of the two - no flush toilets. "
"It's close to the dog park if you have a dog.
The bathroom/shower is 3 sites down. Very clean.
Also close to the walking trail, basketball/volleyball courts& a neat tree swing."
"Close to the entrance to Lassen Park.
Cons: Some tent sites were better than others. My favorite tent sites were T6. T7, T8 and especially T13."
"We were in a site close to the road but recommend a site closer to the creek. Note: no easy access to creek from campground, so recommend going to the red bridge to access trails."
"The area is covered in greenery and it is next to Deer Creek with easy access for trout fishing."
"Just off the main highway. Gravel road in. We had a Ford van that had no problem driving over the dirt and gravel road. There are sites with fire rings and relatively flat ground."
ScoutWe just spent two nights here.
The park is quiet and the people are friendly. There are good river views and we even saw a deer.
It’s a little pricey but not a bad option.
TravelerNice spot near the river. We stayed in a tent and just pitched it adjacent to the car park. The ranger came by in the morning just had a little look around and left. Didn’t bother anyone
LegendWe stayed over night and will do so again. The park is beautiful! Close to the mountain for skiing. Close to the lake for skiing. Nancy the manager was extremely helpful! We found this to have an old fashioned touch. Garbage facilities close by! Our Starlink worked extremely well here
ScoutMy family and I stayed at this camp ground for 14 days. the grounds and sites are nice the bathroom shower is a pay shower for 25 cents for 7 minutes. Other then that the 14 days there was awesome
RangerFirst of all, it is a BEAUTIFUL area and drive in. Gorgeous area. BLM land by water is relatively flat.
NOT big rig friendly. It is a sharp, steep curve to come into gate and road is narrow gravel/sand. I would not have been able to get into area and turn around if my rv had been any longer that it is (19ft) and I had to use 4WD and Maxtraxs. Road just ends so you have to turn around in grass/rock terrain if you go too far because there is no warning.
Only other downside of this spot is the mosquitos are horrible. Sitting outside during sunset isn’t even possible with bug repellent. They were covering my dogs. So be aware if you stay here. Will do for an overnight stop. Also no cell service.
ScoutReally nice BLM site. Close to 139 road and easy to access. Very well marked (there are many signs). Toilets are clean and nice. The only downside is that there are lot of bugs at the evening. Really recommend the visit if you are passing the area.
TravelerFull hookups in back in spot for $55. Mostly pull throughs in Park, which cost more. Shower, restrooms, dog park. Propane for sale here.
GuideBeautiful campground. Quiet. Plenty of wood for a fire. Sites are spacious and good distance between each. It is buggy. Flush toilets aren’t open, but they have the cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever seen.
TravelerThe 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! This is a great place to get off the grid and electronic devices and have some fun! Camp hosts are really friendly as are other campers here. Good mix of age groups and families. There is no beach to the lake, so sun bathers be warned.
