"The spaces are large, sunny and shaded with lovely trees and all within walking distance from the lake. Staff is friendly and helpful and the park is always clean. "

$35 - $80 / night
"Grew up camping here as a child and have so many great memories of Eagle Lake. Unfortunately things have changed quite a bit due to the shift in climate in the area."
"Stayed one night and loved Eagle Lake. Rare USDA campground with power and water. Lovely forest area shades the camp. Lots of families with bikes and dogs all on leashes."
"One of the main attractions for staying here is that it is right at the trail head for the Biz Johnson trail."
"The campground is very small: only 5 sites plus the extra site near the bridge. There is a creek and our spot (#4) was next to it."
"Lake cove is always a good choice. Clean bathrooms and laundry facility on site. There are tent sites, even sites with and without hookups, cabins, and a trailer to rent."
$15 - $100 / night
"Boat ramp is at the North campground, but if you just have a paddleboard or kayak, you can just walk to the water by just waking down the road and launch at the edge of the lake. "
"Nice distance between most sites."
"Operated by PG&E on Lake Almanor. There are no bear boxes, just food lockers, so secure your food in your vehicle. Each loop has its own host, so information is always near by."
$54 - $150 / night
"So much to do around - hiking, water sports, geo-caching, and stargazing (when you roam a bit outside the lights of the camp)."
"The sites are close to each other, but every site has a small balcony you can back up next too. Majors Outpost boat rentals are also here and they are Super Friendly."
$17 / night
"This campground is a hidden gem on Butt Lake. There are first come first serve sites and also sites to be reserved. It has a few walk in sites and mostly drive in."
"We were fortunate to discover Butt Lake near Lake Almanor. Only one small burn area far from the campgrounds. Friday was opening day for Cool Springs campground. "
$25 / night
"Part of Butt Valley Reservoir, this is the upper (and nicer) campground on the lake. Pave roads are great for kids for bike riding, scooters and skateboards."
"This campground is about 4 miles off highway 36. Horseshoe pits are right across from camp host. Was very quiet"
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.
ScoutI've been going to this spot for 30 years and it's great ,clean ,peaceful ,and great fishing
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.
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.
LegendWe enjoyed staying at Manzanita Campground when we made a last minute change of plans to have cooler weather. The elevation makes a big difference! We were in two different sites as we made same day and next day reservations. Yes, some of the spots are tight, but we were able to get two nice sites that felt more open. I loved being able to hike right by from the campground on multiple hikes. Sadly, due to staff shortages, the wonderfulv Loomis museum which chronicles the eruption is closed during the week days. Bathrooms in B loop nicer than in A loop. But A loop closer to lake. Be ready to level your camper.
GuideDrove right by it, but had the area to ourselves. Took a nice walk by the lake. Gonna revisit heading south. Maybe wet a worm?
GuideThe 6 mile gravel road to the campground is the only challenge. Traverse at your own pace — we have a bumper pull trailer and went slow the last 1.6 miles in (thanks to a friend’s warning). Still not a deterrent or worthy of less than 5 stars. Campground is spacious and clean. Hiking is amazing. Lake is pristine and the beauty of the place is unparalleled. No potable water. No dump station. Generators can be run 3 times a day for 2 hours — see ranger station for specific times. Online reservations only! No FF spots.
TravelerWe arrived late, and pulled into the first spot we found just to be safe. Woke up this morning and it's beautiful, quiet and no one else near by. We have a 34 ft travel trailer and no on issues getting into our spot. 20 minute drive to the cinder cone trail head in Lassen National Park. There is a vault toilet but it is not well kept.
TravelerLots of flies but a beautiful site
