    Modoc National Forest's surrounding areas feature several cabin options for visitors seeking rustic accommodations with modern conveniences. Hawk's Nest Tionesta RV & Cabins offers 10 rustic cabins nestled among ponderosa pines, providing a forest retreat atmosphere. McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground provides cabin rentals with proximity to its renowned 110-foot waterfall. The cabins at Lassen RV Park Campground feature spacious sites in wooded lots with access to walking trails. Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout represents a unique cabin experience with its fire lookout structure offering panoramic mountain views. According to one visitor, "The campground is quiet and clean. There are trails to explore and amazing views. Our favorite so far!"

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Hawk's Nest cabins provide basic accommodations while some park cabins include more amenities. Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout features a wraparound balcony, interior fireplace, and exterior fire pit. Most cabins require reservations, particularly during hunting season which begins in late September when occupancy increases significantly. Many cabins welcome pets, though specific policies vary by location. A camper noted that at McArthur-Burney Falls, "I stayed at the state park in a cabin for 2 nights. Me and my wife had a nice time with a good amount of trails."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between locations, from basic setups to more complete options. Several campgrounds maintain on-site stores or markets where basic provisions can be purchased. The camp store at McArthur-Burney Falls stocks convenience items, though selection is limited to standard convenience foods. During off-season periods, cabin visitors should arrive prepared with supplies as some facilities reduce services. Hawk's Nest maintains a small shop adjacent to the office where essentials can be purchased.

      McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground

      Early October is Great!

      Stayed 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.

      Clean and Quiet

      We have wanted to visit Bernie Falls for several years, finally made it! Like a fellow reviewer, we noted the reservation system was often full, felt lucky to get a cancellation spot. Upon arrival, half the campground was empty, thus that helped with it being quiet. Campground and bathrooms were clean. Very nice visitor center and general store. Enjoyed the Falls Loop Trail as well. The Falls, of course, were spectacular. We wouldn’t mind returning on another visit.

      Camping With All The Possibilities

      Just stayed at this campground and my family and I couldn’t stop complimenting the site. It’s really convenient for not leaving the campground and having plenty to do. The falls are gorgeous, nice trails (with some that are toddler friendly which is helpful for us), they have the lake and a general store should you forget anything or feel like splurging.

      Not a ton of bugs when we stayed which is nice and unexpected. I would of course still bring spray and candles but the mosquitos were mild.

      The bathrooms were always clean with toilet paper. They are cleaned daily. They have coin operated showers for $1 for 2 coins. Each coin is 2 mins in the shower.

      Wood is avaible on site to buy.

      Beware of leaving your trash out since the chipmunks and birds are a bit aggressive to eat your scraps.

      The site was flat with not a ton of roots or rocks which was great for us in our tent.

      WiFi is inconsistent but there is a pay station near the ranger station to charge phones and use wifi.

      Hawk's Nest Tionesta RV & Cabins

      Not the most welcoming

      We were never able to get a hold of the hosts once we arrived. We went to the office and called all the posted phone numbers. Fortunately we had called ahead and they unlocked the cabin for our late arrival. But once we were there, nothing. There was no soap in the cabin. Bugs were everywhere. The couch had some stains on it. Then we discovered a mandatory cleaning charge added to our reservation that wasn’t posted at the time of booking. I finally reached the hosts days after we left and convinced them to remove the charge. The woman got angry saying she only let us stay as a favor because we were friends of someone they know - we have absolutely no idea what she was talking about. At least she followed through in removing the extra charge.

      Lassen RV Park Campground

      Great Campground !

      I was only going to stay 3 nights and i have extended for 7 night. Great owner ! Wide open sites. There are lots of trails I can take my dog for walks. Couple of the trails takes you to a cliff where you can sit and watch the sunset. Clean sites and campground. Washers and dryers. This one of my favorite campground. Beautiful ride in. I will be back. Internet good.

      Beautiful spot and welcome hospitality!

      We didn't stay at the park, but the cabins and RV area looked well kept and cozy. We are reviewing the kindness of the owner Jim, who we met when we had to stop by looking for gas when we mismanaged our gas amount and were still 30 miles out of Merrill. Jim welcomed us and filled our tank with an extra 5 gallon container he keeps for emergencies. He could have charged us an arm and a leg, but he only charged us the actual price of the gas approximately$5/gallon and was super helpful. The property looked very well maintained and I would recommend it to anyone road tripping with an RV or looking to stay at a cute cabin close to the lava beds, especially considering the kind hospitality. We hope this review pays forward the generosity we received from Jim during our encounter.

      Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout

      My first fire lookout did NOT disappoint me!!

      Having always wanting to , but never pulling the trigger, finally changed. OMG it was FANTASTIC!!

      Easy drive, with paved roads until the very end. One receives the gate code the week prior to the reservation for the gate & door. Upon arrival you are greeted with MAGNIFICENT VISTAS 360 degrees!! Wrap-around balcony & windows!! Wee fireplace inside & a fire pit outside. 2 picnic tables. A vault toilet 20 yards away from cabin.

      Don’t wait….pull the trigger!!!

      McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground

      Meh

      The campground is fairly nice. No functional bear lockers (camp host said there haven’t been bears here in over 9 years). The bathrooms (flush toilets) were clean. Weirdly, most of the campsites were vacant, but the online reservations showed that most of the sites were booked. We had a large noisy group next to us the first night. Otherwise it was quiet. The trail to the falls (Falls Loop Trail) was closed for repairs, which we knew when we booked. Not the nicest place we’ve been but not the worst. Probably won’t stay there again.

      May 13 - May 15

      This camp grounds was peaceful and beautiful. Most site were very level. I stayed in #49. It was perfectly shaded. The staff is friendly, the amenities are clean.
      Verizon - no coverage. I had to go to their public wifi at their visitor center. This park has a great Dump site, multiple stations easy in/out. Also has fresh water filling station
