Here, rainbow trout dance through crystal-clear waters while deer and other wildlife roam freely through the pristine landscape.

The campground features 13 sites designed for traditional camping with grills and tables. Specific types of accommodations beyond standard tent camping are not mentioned.
Weather and SeasonsFrom May's wildflower awakening through September's golden farewell, each month brings its own magic to this mountain retreat. Spring arrives with bursts of color and rushing streams, summer offers warm days perfect for exploration and cool nights ideal for stargazing, while early fall paints the forest in amber and gold before the campground closes for its winter slumber.
ElevationPerched at 5,000 feet where the air is crisp and pure, this mountain sanctuary follows the gentle curves of a pristine creek basin. The elevation creates a perfect climate where alpine meadows meet dense forest, offering cooler temperatures and spectacular vistas that stretch across the surrounding wilderness.
Natural Features and SceneryThe Lassen National recreational forest unfolds like a living tapestry of natural wonders. Ancient trees stand sentinel over meadows carpeted with wildflowers, while hidden streams create peaceful sanctuaries for both wildlife and weary travelers. From the delicate ferns unfurling in shaded groves to the majestic eagles soaring overhead, every corner reveals nature's artistry in its purest form.
