Yes you're nestled in beautiful tall trees but it didn't interfere with our satellite LOL. The location is exactly what we wanted, to be with nature but still have amenities. It's so quiet & peaceful, just sitting outside (with really no bugs) and hear the birds chirping away. We had a back end site that was about 75 feet & we had a neighbor behind us who had about 50 feet too. The site isn't level; just needed a few blocks to level up. Sites are spacious enough you're not elbow to elbow. Utilities we're perfect. We also had great times at Frank's Grill - good food & nice folks. There's a nice play area for kids. Perfect location - only 35 mins to Lassen, an hr to Old Station & Subway Cave Lava Tube, and 35 miles to the town of Chester (FYI the closest gas station). We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here for a weekend and a day to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park. I actually reserved an RV site for my EV + pitched a huge tent from REI. The RV neighbors didn't seem to mind and were super friendly. I charged my EV overnight three times and never had an issue with the breakers. No one ever had an issue with my tent. One thing I didn't know was that you can pay to charge your EV here at a dedicated NEMA 14-50 outlet. I might have done that and just got a plain old campsite. They are actually really nice. There is a stream that runs towards the back of the campgrounds and at night you can hear the herd of cows next door making all kinds of ruckus. The showers are clean and bathrooms well maintained.

We spent here 3 nights, it's very conveniently located around 20 minutes from the Lassen National Park entrance. Nice clean rooms, we enjoyed our stay.

Our stay at this RV park exceeded our expectations, and I can't recommend it highly enough! Like many RV travelers know, unexpected issues can happen at any time. During our visit, we experienced an internal electrical problem with our rig that was completely unrelated to the campground. To make matters more challenging, we have T-Mobile service, which provided very limited connectivity in the area, and the campground itself does not offer Wi-Fi. Under normal circumstances that wouldn't have been a problem, but with our RV malfunctioning, we needed help fast. Thankfully, Kari was incredible. She generously allowed us to use her phone to contact mobile repair services and even gave us access to the business Wi-Fi so we could research troubleshooting options online. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to help made a stressful situation so much easier to manage. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and taken care of throughout our stay. The location itself is absolutely stunning. Nestled in scenic Childs Meadow and just minutes from the entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park, it's the perfect base camp for exploring the area. The rates were very reasonable, especially considering how difficult it can be to find full-hookup RV sites nearby. We also enjoyed the local dining options. The restaurant right in front of the park had a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of satisfying comfort-food choices. We also tried the restaurant across the road and were so impressed that we returned for a second dinner before leaving. If you're looking for a peaceful forest setting, convenient access to Lassen, and genuinely caring staff, this RV park is an excellent choice. We had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again!

My husband and I attended a Winemaker's Dinner at the Highlands Resort restaurant in Mill Creek on April 29, 2026. The Village is within walking distance. The room at the Village was very clean but best of all the bed was very comfortable including the pillows. Hosts are very accommodating and friendly. Beautiful scenery! 💗
