"California Hidden gems."
$20 / night
"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."
"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."
"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"
$22 / night
"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. "
"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."
"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."
GuideThis is our third year staying in this campground, each time for nearly 2 weeks. The entire campground is super clean and well-maintained. The pool is awesome, the playground is so fun, and the on-site laundry is really handy for our super long stays. It’s only 15 minutes to Mount Lassen national Park.
ScoutWhile the park itself is beautiful and well-maintained, I unfortunately cannot say the same about the management. A member of the office staff violated my privacy by intentionally sharing my personal information with another resident. This reckless and inappropriate behavior led to serious conflict in my life, and is a blatant violation of my civil rights. I am in the process of contacting the realty company listed as the owner/operator to formally address this issue. It is deeply concerning that someone in her position would show such disregard for confidentiality and professionalism. This individual should not be in a role that involves handling sensitive information—she has proven to be untrustworthy and lacking in integrity. Shame on her for abusing her position. I strongly advise others to proceed with caution.
ScoutI've been going to this spot for 30 years and it's great ,clean ,peaceful ,and great fishing
TravelerA quiet little campground with 7 private sites. $12/ night, $6 for Senior Pass holders. There is a camp host who was helpful and provided free firewood. On a Monday afternoon in June there were several sites available but it mostly filled up by evening. There is a very nice day user area with river access, picnic tables, grills, fishing and a boat launch for canoes or rafts. The one downside was the whine of a power generating turbine that went all night. Clean vault toilets. Some mosquitos in the evening and mooring, but not bad.
GuideWe stayed two nights here. The facilities were well maintained and very clean. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Site 12 had ample shade from the trees and close proximity to two restroom facilities.
RangerI booked this campground to stay overnight heading south. Temp was 104 degrees so wanted electricity for air. For an overnight stay that’s cheap, then this would be your spot. It was $33 for a night with water and electricity. Sites were flat.
For the campground itself, it is not somewhere I’d want to spend the weekend. There are clearly lots of people that are there full time living in tents with lots of junk and trash piled up at their site. Several campsites had 4-6 dogs tied up to trees all day long. Also a good bit of people walking around with no leashes. Saw 2 dog fights in the 24 hours that I was there. I wasn’t even comfortable walking my dogs around the loop. Picnic table was disgusting. Besides taking my dogs potty we stayed in rv.
Cell service is ok, but starlink worked great. Never went into bath houses to scope out. There is a boat ramp/day use area for fisherman.
GuideWe had a great experience at this RV park! The bathroom facilities were very clean, the laundry room was spotless, and the pool looked freshly refinished. There’s also a nice fire pit and barbecue area on-site.
I’m pulling a 21-foot travel trailer and we had a level back-in site. Management allowed us to park our truck in the empty space right next to our camper, which was super convenient. All hookups worked perfectly.
The management team here is excellent — very accommodating. I had Amazon packages delivered to the office with no issues, and when I needed a ladder for some quick RV maintenance, they let me borrow one without hesitation.
Overall, a really well-kept, friendly park. Would absolutely stay here again.
GuideWe spent the weekend here and camp host were great. Bathrooms were clean. Only downside was no dump or fresh water and it’s a 30+ minute drive to town. Biggest downfall of this area is the hour long drive with a trailer down the wash board road. Other than that everything was great. Fishing was good. Clean camp.
TravelerBurney falls campground was full so 10 minutes away I found pg&e campground. It’s very small with approximately 7 sites but it’s right on lake Britton. There is even a little beach area for swimming and launching kayaks etc. I really enjoyed my night there
