Small but full kitchen, which was perfect for prepping our meals for the next day. Beds were super comfortable. And even though it was extremely hot outside, the AC did wonders inside the RV. Tucked away in a nice little corner of Shingletown, there is so much nature all around you here, and it is so incredibly peaceful. There's even a nice little nature trail that takes you by a large pond and you end at a beautiful waterfall. Easy to park at your site, and it was about a 20ish minute drive to the Manzanita Lake Entrance to Lassen NP. While Shingletown is small, there was a Dollar General, a great pizza place, and a coffee house that was within a short drive of the camp. Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful stay here and would 100% return.

July 21-23, 2025 - Shingletown, CA…read more We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The setting is gorgeous--towering trees, peaceful forest trails, and a dog-friendly play/agility area that our pup loved. The sites are level and full hook-up, and the grounds are spotless and well maintained. We enjoyed wandering the Cat's Eye Trail at night, spotting glowing eyes along the way--it was such a fun and unique touch. We would happily stay again.

Mount Lassen/Shingleton KOA RV Park, Shingleton, CA - July 21, 2025…read more This is a very nice RV park. The registration process is simple. The staff are very friendly. They have a nice store that is pretty nicely stocked. I was especially impressed with all the hardware they had for RVs. They have ice, some food items, and drinks. The park is fairly spacious with nicely tree-covered sites. They have a picnic table and a fire pit. We had full hook ups. They have a fair amount of amenities at the park, including a very nice swimming pool, clubhouse, and a mini golf basket course. They have a nice dog run/agility area that our little puppy loved. They do have propane if you need it. The RV Park is just about 20 miles west of Mount Lassen national Park. It's also not too far from Bernie Falls.

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.

Heading south for fall/winter we try to take routes that are a little different from the last ones…read morewe've taken. This was definitely different. We were a little skeptical of the park since we couldn't see it from the main road it was down a dirt road. We were hoping we wouldn't have to turn the motorhome around. After tracking down the host, we pulled into a really nice site. Electricity was perfect and there was plenty of clear sky for our skylink satellite. The park has a little lake for kids to swim in and another section for fishing. The store is nice and stocked. We would definitely stay here again if traveling through the area.

The falls are absolutely gorgeous and a must see!!…read more We arrived around 1000 on a Friday where we had to park in overflow, so I suggest to go early. They have a gift shop that sells softserve icecream so we grabbed one of those and talked to the store clerk who also runs the marina where he explained the boating and kayaking options, fishing, etc. Afterwards we hiked the paved path down to the falls. The path has an incline and is wet in some areas so exercise caution as we saw someone fall and bust her knee open. The falls are so beautiful from every angle, and very worth the trip! After taking a ton of photos we walked on another path that took us to a cool bridge crossing the river. Then headed over to the marina area and rented a kayak for 4 hours for $85, which is great price honestly. The guy at the boat rental area was very nice and accomodating. The sun was out in full force so take your sunscreen! We fished and caught a few small mouth bass but nothing we could keep. After we turned in our kayaks we found a picnic area and grilled up some food. Overall we really enjoyed our day at this park and highly recommend!!

This is my second trip to McArthur Burney Falls. Easy access and available parking today, 09.17.25…read moredue to it being the end of season/fall. $10 entrance fee, accept cash or credit cards. I actually received a $1 back as in a senior. I dislike that dog access is limited to parking lot, and observation area. Not allowed on stairs leading down to base of falls, on trails, posted properly. I understand people don't clean up after their pets plus you never know how dogs will interact. Their park, their rules. I love the rule that doesn't allow you to leave your dog(s) in the car, kudos. I think these dog rules apply to all California State Parks.

Only visited Lassen for a short afternoon hike at Manzanita Lake, but what a beautiful park it is…read more Since it's a National Park there was a $30 entrance fee, no one was at the booth when we arrived, but they had signage on how to pay online, and told you where you could find wifi to do so. We did the Manzanita Lake loop, which was about two miles. The trail was easy but took a long time because we kept stopping to take pictures of the beautiful views. We did the trail clockwise and it took a little while to get to the ultimate view, but I was glad it wasn't immediate so that we had something to really look forward to while on the trail. We parked at the Loomis Museum lot where there was a bathroom and small visitor center/gift shop. Parking was pretty full when we arrived, but emptied out quite a bit when we were leaving. They had kayak rentals on the lake, we had originally planned to do it, but time didn't permit on this trip. Rangers at the visitor center/shop were very knowledgeable, I heard one giving information about the plethora of trials and areas of the park, and wow are there a lot of trials!

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!
