Lassen Volcanic has eight campgrounds that range from developed to primitive. Approximately half of the park's campsites are reservable. Four campgrounds are only first-come, first-served*. All group sites and stock corrals require reservations. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring equipped with grill, and a metal bear box for food storage. There are no hookups in the park. A dump station is located near Manzanita Lake.
*Please note that in designated non-reserveable sites and campgrounds, the park may post reservation cards for park sponsored groups such as researchers or park volunteers.

CAMPGROUND INFORMATION & REGULATIONS
Capacity
Campsites are limited to three tents, six people, and two vehicles (including RV) per site. Group sites are limited to between 10-25 people and six vehicles.
Food Storage
This is bear country; deer, squirrels and chipmunks are also year-round residents. Store all food in the bear proof box provided at your campsite, including pet food. It is illegal to feed, frighten, or disturb any wildlife. All resources such as wildflowers, plants, animals, and artifacts are protected by law in national parks. Please leave them for others to enjoy. Food storage boxes measure 4'x3'x2.5' (30 cubic feet)
Quiet Hours and Generators
Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Generators may be used only from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Do not run continuously to minimize noise disturbance.
Campfires
You may gather downed, dead wood. Do not cut, saw, or break any standing trees, dead or alive. Fires are allowed only in designated fire rings. Do not build rock rings outside of the established ring or burn trash in the ring. Never leave fires or hot coals unattended and extinguish them completely before leaving.
Sanitation
Wash dishes at your campsite, not in restrooms or at water spigots. Please do not wash clothes, hair or bathe at water spigots or industrial sinks. Strained dishwater must be disposed of in the grates located in front of each restroom or industrial sinks. Dispose of food particles in trash bins, not in the sink drains or grates. Gray water from RVs and trailers must be contained & disposed of at the Manzanita Lake dump station. Water is a precious and limited resource; use it wisely. Please sort and place all trash and recyclables in the appropriate bins.
Camper Store, Laundry, and Showers
A camper store, showers and laundry machines are available near the Manzanita Lake campground. Showers and laundry machines take quarters; a change machine is located by the showers. Your quarters maintain the wastewater treatment system in the park and help return clean water to the park environment.
Vehicles and Bicycles
We encourage visitors to enjoy the campground, and help ensure the safety of all visitors by keeping all vehicles, including motorcycles, and trailers, and bicycles on paved areas at all times.
Pets
Pets are welcome in park campgrounds, however they must be attended and on a leash not longer than 6 feet at all times. It is the owner's responsibility to clean up after them.
