Volcanic Country Camping & RV

Hikers heading to Lassen Volcanic National Park's southwestern entrance use Volcanic Country Camping & RV as a practical base, with the park entrance roughly 9 miles up the road. The campground sits just off Route 36 in Mineral and holds around 4 tent sites alongside more than 20 RV sites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer connections for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites are close together, though surrounding trees give the area a forested feel rather than an open-lot atmosphere.

Amenities are functional rather than elaborate. Restrooms and showers are available, with one stall and one shower each for men and women. Reviews consistently note the campground runs quietly despite its roadside location. Cell service is limited, with at least one reviewer flagging poor T-Mobile reception, and WiFi availability has been inconsistently reported across visits. Check-in happens at the adjacent Mineral Lodge, which also has a restaurant and general store on site.

A community fire pit gives tent campers a place to gather in the evenings. Jeff M. describes it as "a good restaurant and general store next door where you register," pointing to the convenience of having supplies close at hand. Pricing has ranged in recent reviews, so confirming the current nightly rate when reserving is worth doing. Pets are allowed with a fee. Campers wanting more dispersed options nearby can look at Hampton Butte Dispersed — Lassen NF or Battle Creek Campground a short distance west.

Many campers appreciated the location just 9 miles from Lassen National Park with hot showers and basic hookups. Sites are close together but maintain a quiet forest atmosphere. Mixed feedback on staff helpfulness and value.

Last minute booking

The owners are very laid back. We reserved a spot with no money down. Spot was hard to find, but only because it was a new spot they had just opened up. Everyone around d us was very friendly. It is a “no frills” park, but was quiet even it was just off the road.

Close to Lassen NP - time capsule!

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. The Mineral Lodge and campground next door are family owned and have a community feel. No frill campground, does have hookups.

$35 per night plus $2 pet fee

Sites very close together. Bathroom old but works. Poor T Mobile service. No wifi.

This is a great campground

Perfect RV and tent campground just outside of Lassen National Park. The RV sites are somewhat close to each other but there are plenty of trees around so you really have a forest feeling. There is a good restaurant and general store next door where you register. We would definitely stay here again.

9 miles away from the Lassen Volcanic NP southwestern entrance.

They have restrooms and showers (one stall and one shower for men and one and one for women).

There are are two fire pits for the “community” but we were the only tent campers for two nights in the middle of June. Each site has a picnic table and charcoal only bbq also.
