Amazing view of the lake, calm atmosphere, and nearby hiking trails (driving distance). There is no wifi at the cabin but there is wifi at the museum about 1/2 mile away. This campsite was not shady at all - that was unenjoyable when cooking breakfast and dinner but we ate on the porch where it was shaded.

Cabin was very clean! But we found the bed too small for us. Just personal preference.

@HolliSEE386CBD · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #5

It was great to be close to the lake.

@NikhilD09BA4E6 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #7

Really good cabins close to the lake. We were able to easily access the cabin per the instructions. The fire pit outside was great. The camper store and the restrooms are quite nearby.

@HaeyoungH51F6B · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #1

Overall satisfied. Loved the nature, accessibility to the lake, streams, hiking trailheads, camp store, showers, boat rental was great.

@DickIEA458D24B · Camped on Jul 6, 2025

We were in one of the two glamping tents. Nobody knows anything about them. Generally inferior to cabins. Overall campground and lake wonderful. No reason in the world glamping tents should cost more than cabins.

I always enjoy going to Lassen and staying atManzanita Lake!

@okeheeg34296FA · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #10

Our family had a great Fourth of July holiday at a cabin next to Manzanita Lake. The cabin was clean and spacious. The campsite was quiet at night, not crowded at all, and well-equipped. We had fun kayaking on the lake with a beautiful view of Lassen Peak.

@PennyP2716444 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #4

Clean cabins, in a great area. just as promised. Very close to lake trails, which was great for sunsets.

@YuliyaP5E16451 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #13

My family and I enjoyed our camping at manzanita lake. Hope we will be back in few years.

The cabin was great!

@AlanS4569109 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #14

Nice setting for cabins. I wish more parks had these. You have to know how to utilize windows for cooling down at night, and closing in the morning to keep cooler longer. Propane heater pilot light does add a little heat.Windows all seem like they could use some wax, as some are very hard to open. Some cabin's window shades need attention. But all in all, I plan on staying every year. Very relaxing location.

@JasmineSD5F531 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #7

A wonderful location and family friendly place to stay. The cabin was beautiful! We stayed in seven with our kids and had a view of the lake.

@KevinR7055754 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #15

This is an excellent campgound for folks of all ages and a wonder for kids. The cabins were spotless, the store offered lots of food items and the surroundings are amazing.Nice hikes closely and both Manzanita and Little Manzanita are great for water sports or swimming. We recommend this for anyone.

@BobC3980695 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #6

The cabins at Manzanita Lake are in a fine place to enjoy the outdoors. A number of hikes are nearby as well as the lake for kayaking. There is a camp store nearby that is convenient and well run. This is the fifth year in a row that I have rented these cabins.

@jays8053974 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #16

Manzanita Lake Campground and cabins is a beautiful and peaceful location. I stayed in one of the small cabins and enjoyed the experience. There was a bear locker, picnic table, and fire ring close by the cabin. A vault toilet and water tap was a short walk away, and the showers and flush toilets less than .2 mile. The store staff was very helpful with firewood and the shower pass, and the campground was well maintained and clean. I recommend this location and would stay again.

@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #18

Family of 4 stayed one night on a Thursday (June 19).Pros: great location, close to convenience store and flush toilets, friendly and helpful staff, better than expected from the reviews I read prior to the trip.Cons: spent time to get rid of spiders and bugs on the ceiling (the broom came in handy)Recommendations: hiking and kayaking Lake Manzanita, exploring subway cave lava tubes (20 min drive)

@KeithC8792158 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #10

Be sure to remind users to bring blankets and pillows. It was a cold night sleeping in our clothes without a pillow. I liked the cabin, just wish we had been better prepared. Lassen is a new favorite NP.

@JoeH1345748 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #4

I like to camp and I like to fly fish this is a wonderful place to come for clean water exciting fish and beautiful scenery

@MarioQ240FA13C · Camped on Jun 18, 2025

The tent cabin (T2) was seemingly new and not on the campground map but not in a bad location. Did not come with a table. The tent was comfortable and had plenty of space for an additional person. The campground was nice but you did have persons in regular cabins who would leave their fires unattended. Morons. The park had lots of nice scenery but snow in the road in June made enjoying it all difficult. The drive to the south side isnt terrible, just had to take A6 and Lanes Valley Rd for a shortcut. The campground store staff was very helpful (thank you Sofi for everything!). Be sure to watch out for pedestrians people are very oblivious and always expect to have the right of way everywhere. Limited items at the North visitor center. Highly recommend the south entrance visitors center, for kids too. There were two different Jr Ranger booklets between the entrances so be sure to get them at the south center. Overall Lassen was beautiful and Manzanita was a good experience.

@TomR1236800 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #15

Stayed in the same cabin #15 for three years in a row, blinds have yet to be repaired, price charged should be able to repair window blinds after three years. Other than that very enjoyable stay.

@KathrynG296075 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #6

The cabins were so much nicer than wed expected based on other reviews, truly a steal for the price!

@ChristaPDD97E2 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #11

Second stay in the cabins - this time we had cabin 11 and location was great! We brought paddleboards and spent a lot of time on Manzanita Lake. Hiked Hat Lake to Paradise Meadows and ran into a bit of snow at the top but it was ok. Make sure to hit up the campground store for some soft-serve ice cream! Looking forward to our next visit already.

@HaleyP5FBE91F0 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #6

The pictures of the cabins were a little deceiving. I was expecting them to be a little more secluded. The trail around the lake wasnt what I was expecting either. When you got to the area of the trail where you could see the snow cap in the background there was a pop up canopy where some of the kayaks were and it made for bad pictures. I didnt find the bath houses/toilet area to be that clean either. Coffee and gift shop were great!!! If you arent worried about people, this is your place. If youd rather be secluded and not have many people, Id pass.

@SauS2DA0C22A5E · Camped on Jun 7, 2025

Great camping spot for a family. Manzanita Lake was a great spot for hiking, swimming and kayaking. Our campsites (T1 and T2) however, did not have picnic tables. We would return but maybe book another campsite.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
