Summary
Reservations are not required—sites are first-come, first-served, and a small nightly fee applies. The campground is RV-accessible but best for smaller rigs. Nestled along the lake’s eastern shore, the area boasts serene lakeside views, pine forest shade, and access to boating, fishing, and swimming. Nearby trails and Lassen Volcanic National Park offer outdoor adventures. Best visited late spring through early fall for mild weather and full lake access.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
