Beautiful and sad at the same time

Great camp site with close access to ample bathrooms. Shower are only located at the main office. Cold in June still. Still recovering from the Dixie fire but some hikes available. Later in the summer may be better due to more trails being open

Great place right on the Pacific Crest Trail

Because of the rules regarding bear vaults, if you are hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, you either need to hike many miles through the park or plan on staying here. You can get a permit to backcountry camp in other areas but that takes weeks in advance planning. There is a nearby resort and restaurant called Drakesbad you can stay at too. The campground isn't geared to RVs. Plenty of sites for tents. It's first come first serve campground with self pay kiosk. There was a camp host there. The sites closer to the pay station (8-14) are flatter and seemed larger. Our site, #5 was a bit on the hill. Each site has a bear vault. We paid $16 for the site and then shared it with another hiker. We saw a lot of deer in the area and of course the views of Mount Lassen are awesome.
