Setting

Little privacy

Summit Lake North Campground sits at an elevation of 6,700 feet along the main park road in Lassen Volcanic National Park, directly across the water from Summit Lake South. Facilities include flush toilets, drinking water, campfire rings, and picnic tables. Positioned within walking distance of Summit Lake, the location is a hub for trail access, sitting eight miles from Lassen Peak and under ten miles from the hydrothermal features at Bumpass Hell. Major interior routes like the Cluster Lakes Loop trail leave from the nearby Summit Lake Ranger Station.

Getting there: From Redding, California take State Highway 44 east approximately 48 miles to the Manzanita Lake entrance of the park. The campground is 14 miles south of the entrance on the main park road.
