The Village at Childs Meadow

Catherine Hunt

We stayed 3 nights in mid-October during mid week. We arrived a little after 4 pm and wasn’t sure where the office was. There was a woman in a truck who guided me to Frank’s store and said that if I had a reservation there should be an envelop with my name on it with a map of our site. The site that we were assigned C8 was small with an incline that it would be hard to level our RV Trailer. I called the office and luckily someone answered. The campground wasn’t busy and we were able to move to a much better spot B4. We had a full hookup so we didn’t use the bathroom. The campground was clean and surrounded by tall trees. It was quiet at night though it was close to a highway. We were originally planning to stay in Manzanita Campground but with the government shutdown, we decided to stay here. It is only 15 min to the entrance.

We stayed here in a small Class C RV in Sept. 2025. I would not go back! Dead deer hanging outside our picture window, and a bloody bear carcass on the truck next to us!! We were mortified! Absolutely stunned that an RV park in CA would allow a dead animal to hang outside for days. It is illegal in California to dress or store game in an RV park! Because OF COURSE IT IS!!!! The lady at registration warned us that our site, which we picked because of its location at the end corner of a row, was next to an open-sided shed for the hunters to store their dead game. When I reacted with disbelief and told her I was a vegetarian and we were here to see animals in the national park, she said, "Well, don't come here if you don't want to see dead deer during hunting season." I have no fricking idea when local hunting season starts -- that's like telling me I ought to know who won their team's game As other reviews have said, check in is ridiculous and we were made to feel like a burden. We arrived around 3:30pm and the office was closed. We did not have any envelope or instructions waiting for us. After a run-around and being sent by the diner to the lodge across the street, we were scolded that we should have had an envelope on the door and didn't need to cross the street. But no envelope was there; they didn't even have our reservation. They found it, but I don't recall an apology. So their system is definitely a mess.

Beautiful area. If you get a chance, stay here. It's labor day weekend and I was fortunate to get a slot here. We are all pretty close, but its nice here they have a small restaurant and market with patch of grass to play volleyball. Great for families. Across the street is the resort. With up scale dinning and a boutique. It's close to Lassen National Park.

We stayed in this place because it was only 15-min drive to Lassen NP south entrance. The room and shower were very small with no AC. It was hot so we had the fan on all night. There was no WiFi either. Luckily cellular reception for Verizon worked. We didn't eat at their restaurant. Instead we drove 20-min further to Chester for dinner and grocery shopping.

The room is small but clean with a rustic wood floor. A small fridge and Keurig coffe maker were in the room. Hower, only disposable plastic cups were provided which isn't good for hot coffee. Bathroom was recently renovated and clean. One downside is no Wifi available in the room. We had to hangout at the Bistro to have free Wifi via Starlink. I recommend the owner to put in Mesh Wifi so guests can get Wifi access in their rooms.
