Situated near the northwest entrance to the park, the rustic Camping Cabins provide convenience, economy, and security. These 20 cabins are the first new accommodations in Lassen Volcanic National Park since 1972, and are available in three models: 2 Room, 1 Room, and Bunkhouse.
Groceries, supplies, gifts, gasoline, a pay phone, ATM, laundromat, and hot showers can be located at the nearby Manzanita Lake Camper Store.

I had a great experience here with my wife. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights.
The cabins themselves are beautiful. The small cabins have enough room to comfortably sleep 2 people. The beds are hard, but livable. You need to bring your own sheets, pillows, etc.
Each cabin has a dedicated fire pit, and food storage area that is bear-proof. We used these a lot.
You also have your own parking place in front of your cabin.
There is a nearby store within walking distance that sells food, groceries, and small items. You can also rent kayaks from the store.
There are bathrooms near each cabin and potable water, but they are very smelly and have no electricity or drinking water. If you walk to the main store area there are bathrooms with electricity that are modern and nicer to use. We used these often.
The only downside to the camp is that there is no electricity or internet. It was hard to adjust. I expected some wifi or something, but there is nothing within an hour's drive.
If you need to charge a device, the laundry room had some outlets.
Overall, it was a great camping trip. The only thing I wish they had was electricity and internet. :)
Nice alternative to sleeping in a tent. Cabins are clean, mattress very stiff, enough privacy, short walk to the lake. ~40 min drive to the main sites, but we got used to it.
Great picturesque lake. Highly visited, sometimes noisy a it is close to the campsites. Very clean.
Great quiet campground with very clean and well maintained bathrooms. Close to the lake which has a pcinic area and a nice trail around it with good views.
One of the only places we could reserve online at the last minute. Worth the stay, no dogs allowed in cabin and the shower situation was confusing on how to get access unless someone left the doors open on accident, so we skipped getting clean that night or the following morning. The lake isn’t right next to any cabin but in some of these pics you can see it in the distance, not a bad walk to it, very easy.
