    We had a positive experience camping at Ponderosa Flats Campground on Butt Lake. We were able to…read moreget a first-come, first-served site that backed right up to the lake, which provided a beautiful setting and easy access to enjoy the water. Overall, it was a peaceful place to relax and we had a great time at the lake. The camp host was a bit gruff and questioned us about how thoroughly we had completed the paperwork, which felt a little unnecessary. We also noticed some inconsistency with enforcing campground rules. The posted flyer asks that dogs remain leashed and that campfires not be left unattended, but the site next to us near the bathroom frequently had their dog off leash and left their fire burning while they went to the beach. Additionally, campers across the campground played music at a very loud volume for extended periods, but it did not appear that they were approached or reminded about campground quiet expectations. Despite those issues, our overall stay was enjoyable. The lake views, location, and experience of camping right on the water made it a memorable trip, and we would consider returning.

    We had the worst experience here. We paid for 5 nights. Twice the water was shut off. The first…read moretime we were not allowed to have a campfire, ( after she sold us two bundles of pine firewood for $20) and the second time we were not allowed to use our propane stove or lanterns and were forced to leave early as a result. The camp host was overbearing and was at our camp moments after we paid lecturing about putting a phone number on the pay envelope and was quite rude about it even though the envelope had no designated spot for a phone number. The host gave us a list of rules which included dogs were to be leashed at all times, no outdoor shower, no electric chainsaw, no using generators off of the blacktop, and on and on. She didn't enforce the no leash rule, but was crazy strict on every thing else. We were the only ones who kept their dog on a leash. She even knocked on our neighbors camper door to accuse him of not shutting the toilet lid in the outhouse. After we left I considered stopping payment on our check but felt we did have a couple good days so instead I contacted them to get a partial refun. My refund was denied stating we left on our own and were not forced to leave. What were we supposed to do? Sit in the dark and starve?

    We stayed at this campground in 2022 and appreciated its convenient location. Unfortunately, our…read morecustomer service experiences were disappointing. In 2022, my husband made our reservation, but due to work, I had to arrive before him. Because the reservation was under his name, I was not permitted to access our campsite when I arrived, despite sharing the same last name and being part of the reservation. I waited approximately six hours, until around 7 p.m., before the reservation could be accessed, which meant setting up our tent in the dark. We attempted to find an alternative solution, including canceling and rebooking the reservation under my name, but we were told that doing so would result in being charged twice. We attempted to book again in 2026 but ultimately had to cancel approximately two weeks in advance due to unforeseen circumstances. Under the campground's cancellation policy, we were charged an $81 cancellation fee, in addition to a previously charged $13 transaction fee. We found the policy and the lack of flexibility very disappointing. Based on our experiences, I would recommend looking into Rocky Point or PG&E-owned campgrounds in the Lake Almanor area. We have found those options to be more accommodating, well maintained, and reasonably priced.

    We pulled in just for one night with a small camper. Our uncle was there also with a small camper…read more It's extremely pricey. The bathrooms are dirty. The garbage cans are too far away. Other than that. It's really nice to be on the lake and it's a fairly quiet location for a Thursday night they have strict speed limits and quiet hours, which we appreciated!

    Just past the entrance to the park of a reasonable car fee is parking next to the gift shop and…read moremuseum you can find lots of parking. You can either park right next to the gift shop/museum/bathrooms or go to the right just after the first parking lot and there's tons of parking on the backside where there lots of pick nick tables and a boat launch area. This is also where you will find the trail that goes all the way around the lake with stunning views on every side with the gorgeous Lassen in the background. This is about a mile around with easy walking. There's also fishing here off shore or in your boat. Wanna go further up the mountain? You can go another 7 miles and hike up to the backside of Lassen. There is a further drive here to get to the other volcanoes in the park. There was too much snow so the roads were closed. It's important for me to make note here that there really good points of history all along the way on plaques you will see along the road. Very worth stopping at them and reading them. Incredible how these mountains were created and also had rock avalanches. Scary and incredibly interesting. I definitely recommend putting this on your bucket list to visit.

    I've been here 3 times and it never gets dull. Depending on the time of the year, the experience…read moremay differ. There's never a bad time to visit of course. Many bird watchers, anglers, and photographers gather here. It's that perfect place to forget all your troubles and become one with nature. Unfortunately dogs aren't allowed to hike around the loop. I'm sure they would love it. Kayaks are available to rent as well, but not needed to enjoy the fantastic views. If you are camping at the Manzanita Campground, that's even better! Hiking the trail every day during your stay is the best!
