This is a real gem. It wasnt hosted but most everyone was a respectful and quiet camper. So if you do go there, please don't ruin it by being unaware of how your voice travels. It is so quiet that even normal voice level can be heard easily. So it's a speak quiet type of camp. It only took one family to turn this small quiet campground into nutty playground with drones, loud music, electronics and by yelling to each other though they were only a few feet away from each other. Their kids were also tearing up plants in the stream and in nearby habitat. Another camper did mention how rude they were, but noisy family didn't seem to care. Don't be that annoying type of oblivious camper. If you're looking for a recreation playground where you don't have to worry about neighboring campers that are there to relax in some peace and quiet by a beautiful stream then this is not the place for you.
Great great place for camping!
First come first serve, iron ranger campground. Very good sized sites with bench and grill. Toilets were very clean. Busy at the weekend, quiet on the weekdays, locals and campers play in the spring by the entrance which is fresh potable water.
So chilled, brilliant stars, knocked off a star as there were a lot of yellow jackets and no bear bins but other than that fantastic.
40 mins from lassen volcanic, make sure you go via chester if you aren't in a 4x4, maps took us down a dirt path with potholes in our vw golf!
Nice and quiet. There is running water and the bathrooms are very clean. No lights around so if you go to the creek area you can get a decent view of the night sky.
