SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

PG&E operates this three-loop, 100-plus-site campground on Lake Almanor within Lassen National Forest, giving it an unusual mix of utility-company management and National Forest access. Lake access is a short walk down a bike path. No bear boxes are on-site, so food must be secured in vehicles. Campers planning fall trips should note that active logging operations run on weekdays in September. Almanor sits roughly half a mile east for those wanting a different setup.

Large campground with over 100 sites across three loops near Lake Almanor offers good amenities and dedicated hosts. Natural beauty with pine trees and lake access, though weekday logging operations may affect tranquility.

Fall camping

This campground is beautiful with pine trees , lava rock, boulders and the lake just a short walk down the bike path. There are pit toilets throughout with garbage bins and water spigots .The only problem in September is they are logging to thin the trees for fire safety, so not as quiet during the week days
