Coming in from the North end you come upon Manzanita Lake. Camping, cabins, store, museum, hiking and more. Lassen Park has a lot to offer all who come to visit. Just driving through there is still a lot to see.

Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park is unlike any we have experienced! The south entrance is 30 wondrous miles to our campsite. The coolest thing about Mt.

The bathrooms are clean and... More
