    Pretty noisy from the nearby highway, a little sparse for trees for shade...the hike to Subway Cave is great on a warm day

    Big Pine is a smaller, off the beaten path gem of a camping site in the Lassen area. It's far…read moresmaller, less frequented and much less known about than other sites nearby, making me hesitant to even share that it exists. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time here and would certainly return if we are back exploring the area. It's a USDA campground, falling under federal forest jurisdiction, so it's different in many ways from the state campsites we are used to. For starters, it's first come, first serve. So you are already trying your luck because there is no one to contact for a reservation ahead of time. Fortunately, there are many other campsites like this in the area, so if they are booked here, you have options. Other differences from state sites: The campsites were much bigger and more spacious. The bathrooms were chemical toilets vs. flush, like at Burney Falls (not a problem since the campground was so small and the host cleaned them frequently.) It's not well marked, either, so it's easy to miss this place. The only downside is that during the summer it is HOT and the tree cover is thin here. No matter which site you choose, expect your camp to be exposed to the sun most of the day. If I did it again, I would definitely bring some sort of big shade structure. The trees in this area are sparse and far between. All in all, consider it a great alternative to the busy, booked-6-months-in-advance sites at Burney Falls and other popular parks. Take your chances at a USDA site and you'll still be close to all the action in the Lassen area!

Showers were eh on cleanliness and curtains feel a bit sheer. Don't forget your shower shoes. You have to pay $5 for the code for each gender bathroom, but you can use it unlimited during your stay. Also, had a medical emergency where someone from my camp fainted multiple times/cut his hand open - went to emt for help and they said "we'll be there in a few minutes," lacked urgency, when they finally arrived they didn't know how to take VITALS, and wasted 10 minutes of our time when he suggested the nearest hospital, 1 hour away, in Redding after explaining there's "not much he can do."

I have never been more disgusted in my entire life where flies fall on you while you shower and get into your clothes. There were tampons in two different shower stalls left there for 3 days I went to the Manzanita general store to complain but nothing was done other than the typical, "we will inform management. Thanks..." Finally on the 4th day, the showers were somewhat decent. There needs to be more pride and care put into the cleanliness of the showers and bathrooms. I took pictures of the showers when no one was there.

    We came Saturday morning around 8:30am. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the gate staff…read more Parking is $10. There is a parking lot, which can be limited when the weather is warmer. In the beginning of the trail, there is a General Store and restroom. The restroom is an actual restroom with toilet and sink. Not a portable potty! The trail to Burney Falls was easy. Different parts of the trail, there is a different view of the fall. The view from bottom of the fall was breathtaking. Be very careful if you want to get close to the fall. The rocks can be very slippery. We went off season so the crowds were not as bad as expected. If visiting Friday-Sunday or during the holidays, reservations are required. This is something new that they implemented on May 15, 2026. Check out their website for more information. Plan accordingly and enjoy the hiking adventures!

We did not sleep the night we got there as we were trying to scramble to find another place to stay at. We ended up staying in our vehicle and contacted the manager to report the infestation. The manager claimed that they've done their due diligence to keep their cabins sanitized, but if you refer to the photos and videos I posted that is a complete LIE! Instead of enjoying our vacation, we ended up having to go to a local laundry mat to clean our clothes. Not to mention upon coming home my nephew finds a bed bug on one of his bags. Can you imagine the hell we've been through? It's terrible! To top it off, my niece's friend gets rushed to the ER yesterday due to these bed bugs biting her all over her body. She was sent home with topical and oral medication. Refer to the photos! I'm severely disappointed with the lack of accountability of the manager and its property. My sister tried speaking to a staff member today to follow up and she hung up on my sister after claiming someone would call her today to get this settled. We are planning to file a complaint and a report to the local health department. We are concerned that other people may encounter the same problem. Please beware!
