We have been staying at this same cabin for many years. You cannot beat the area and the security and warmth of a cabin. Unless the heater is broken, then, it is a different story! A portable one was provided but it was kind of scary to use. Our phone company is Consumer Cellular. We had service at the turnout in the Chaos Jumbles turnout inside of the park so we would go there. During a thunderstorm, I did receive a flash-flood alert on my phone at the cabin site so that was good to know that alerts work there.

I have stayed at lots of campgrounds and cabins. This cabin was really well maintained and the grounds were beautiful. Very close to Manzanita Lake for sunsets and photography. Every cabin has its own bear box and the bathrooms are close by. Showers were better than most campgrounds - hot water and good pressure. Camp store had delicious coffee.

@HeidiS8366300 · Camped on Sep 2, 2025 at Campsite #19

Perfect little cabins.

@SanishMA7DDEAF · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #12

Bare bones, but clean and functional cabins, nestled right next to the lake. The facilities were all very clean even during the long weekend. No electricity was a new experience for our family - but enjoyed basking in the moonlight. Would highly recommend for anyone not ready for tent camping but want to experience the camping in the wild

@MoniqueC76C208 · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #7

Cabin was great! Having a heater was nice. It was nice to wake up nice and toasty in the morning.

@DianaB5593566 · Camped on Aug 25, 2025 at Campsite #13

First time staying in the cabins instead of a tent campground and loved it. Good proximity to lake and saved us during an unexpected storm.

@SharonO4952514 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #9

The location is gorgeous and the tent cabin is cute. It is great that one can get a nice hot shower there, coffee in the morning and other food items. From the lake it is about a half hour drive each way to some of the more popular hikes. It doesn't get a 5 because the mattress was very uncomfortable.

@CaroleS5664624 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #2

Bunkhouse was clean and pads comfortable enough. Quiet campground at night.

@Venkatesw8F7BF · Camped on Aug 14, 2025 at Campsite #19

Manzanita lake cabins are a hidden gem! Especially for family with little ones. So many beautiful things to do and the best part is the place is not overcrowded like the more heavily tracked parts of national parks.

@DANIELL7634709 · Camped on Aug 14, 2025 at Campsite #11

Bed is on short side. I'm 5'6 and my feet touched the wall. No lantern was provided even though description said there would be one in room

@BrendaP8892898 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #1

Lassen is wonderful. Cabins are ok - Bathroom is a hike from cabin with only cold water in two sinks. They charge $5 for a shower in a separate area. There is supposed to be lantern in cabin, but was not - so glad I brought two. Otherwise staff was extremely helpful, kind and gracious.

@ReginaH7316D70 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #8

Such a beautiful area! Spent 10 days hiking, kayaking and swimming. Clean showers, bathrooms. Great, helpful staff. Been there five times so far and plan on going again soon!

@VivianO21CE268 · Camped on Aug 9, 2025 at Campsite #12

Perfect size for our party of 5. Mattress base is quick sufficient if you get your sleeping bag. Location is excellent, just a stone throws distance from the lake. Camper store nearby is decently supplied with food, drinks and other small items you may need. Our second time in these cabins after more than a decade. Will stay here again on our next visit to Lassen.

@ClaireD1412366 · Camped on Jul 31, 2025 at Campsite #8

Lassen is a jewel and we've been camping at the park every year (barring fires) for 42 years and have been using the cabins for about 8 years. Cabin #8 was clean and had a view of Manzanita Lake. The key lock system can be difficult for someone with stiff, arthritic fingers; we had to get help to access the key in the lock box.The window blinds in the cabin were broken in places causing a lack of privacy. One window was very difficult to open and close and its screen was torn.As has been the case for years, the showers were filthy. This year, the water never got warm (much less hot) - had to take a cool shower at 7:00 in the morning. Have travelled abroad & used public showers before going into swimming pools, mineral baths, etc. - those facilities have always been modern and sanitary and I wish Lassen would provide such a facility. The concessionaire needs upgrade the shower building and service it more frequently.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #8

The cabin was clean and nicely positioned with a partial view of the lake nearby. My only negative comment would be regarding the heater. There are no instructions inside the cabin as to how to properly and safely turn it on. You cant turn it on with the thermostat and Im assuming the outside propane needs to be turned on. There should be instructions.

@BevM64995C2E91 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #12

We spend a few days in a camping cabin every summer. This year, the main issue we encountered was the notable shift to very meager selection of goods and food items in the camp store. Clearly, the concession-holder has chosen to stock the most minimal of food and sundry items, which is a major change from years past. The Lassen/recreation.gov website for this location should clearly inform campers that the store is carries a very limited selection of goods (milk, for instance) so that campers can plan ahead. We also discovered, after paying for showers, that there was no hot water in the women's shower room. If you charge $5.00 for a shower, the water should be plenty warm.

@NatalieM207990 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #8

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.

@SarahZ4C13C706 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #19

Clean cabin, even has thin pads on the beds to provide some cushion. Beautiful location. Cabin includes a bear box, fire pit, and picnic table nearby.

@catherine0B30A · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #9

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.

@KarenO2455518 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #17

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.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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
