Located just outside Lassen Volcanic National Park, it was perfect for our one night stay. Restrooms were clean. We also took advantage of the laundry room. There were tons of things to do but unfortunately it was rainy so we spent most of the evening in the RV but would highly recommend.

Extremely nice KOA. The staff was very friendly and helpful and kept things very clean. Lots of trees and shade. Lots of things for people to do. Very peaceful. They also had a nice little dog park with an obstacle course in it. There wasn't any grass that dogs were allowed on (and no grass in the dog park) so it was a little difficult to get our dog to do her business but we managed. Nice laundry room as well with well running machines and counter space to fold clothes.

We have been to many KOAs, we thought we would stay closer to home to start off the our first camp trip of the season. I didn’t expect much but I was pleasantly surprised! The service truly phenomenal, the check in/store was so sweet and treated our kids like family. The gentlemen driving the cart to check the area is so friendly and nice. The koa itself has some of the best sites I’ve seen for a koa, and the perfect balance of kid friendly, nature and good vibes! It was beautiful and perfect! Thank you, we will add this koa as an annual stop!

Absolutely the best campground we have encountered in many years of traveling with our RV. Facilities and service were impeccable and the staff ( especially MR Tim) were all very knowledgeable about the local area and shared information that made our visit even more enjoyable. Mt Lassen volcanic national park is an incredible place, and Burney Falls is only a short beautiful ride ( one hour) away. Super dark sky star viewing within 1 mile of campground. We strongly recommend this to anyone traveling to or through the area.

Very nice RV park and campground. Nice amenities and nature area in the back. My spot was very level a pretty spacious. I had a full hook up spot. Shingletown is very close with lots of services. The entrance to Lassen National Park is about a 20 minute drive.
