Camping & Cabins
The Lassen National Forest offers beautiful camping areas that range widely in elevation, lakeside to forested and primitive to developed. The more developed campgrounds can offer electrical hookups for RV or trailer camping, while the more primitive offer only a toilet.
Campground Open Dates and Fees are Subject to Change
Campgrounds are seasonally opened and closed. Open dates are approximate. A heavy snowpack may delay the opening date. Early closure may occur in order to protect water systems from freezing and to efficiently schedule work for seasonal shutdown.
