Manzanita Lake Campground Map Overview

The Manzanita Lake Campground map outlines seven main loops spread through a ponderosa pine forest near the north entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The map highlights 179 campsites, including standard, group, and RV sections, all within walking distance of Manzanita Lake and the visitor center.

Quick Read: Restrooms and water spigots are evenly spaced through the loops. The upper loops (E–G) sit higher in the pines and tend to be quieter, while A–C loops are near the lake and store.

Loops & Layout

The campground is divided into Loops A–G, each shown clearly on the map. Loops A–C circle closest to Manzanita Lake and offer the shortest walk to the lake trail and general store. Loops D–F are set farther back among mature pines, offering more shade and privacy. Loop G sits near the group and RV area with easier vehicle access.

• Loop A–C: Lake proximity, quick access to store, amphitheater, and trailhead.
• Loop D–F: Forested and quiet, ideal for tent campers seeking shade.
• Loop G: Near group sites and RV spurs; easy access for larger rigs.

Map Symbols & Icons

The map uses simple icons to mark key amenities:

• Restrooms: Buildings marked across loops, roughly one per 25–30 sites.
• Water Spigots: Faucet icons along main roads and loop junctions.
• Bear Lockers: Box symbols beside each site pad; every site has one.
• Trailheads: Dashed lines leading to Manzanita Lake Trail and Lassen Peak Highway.
• Dump Station: Located at the campground entrance; shown on the map’s left edge.

Tip: Print or download the map before arrival — cell coverage near the lake is limited, and loops can look similar after dark.

Best Areas on the Map

• Lake Loops (A–C): Closest to Manzanita Lake and the trailhead — best for early-morning paddlers and photographers.
• Forest Loops (D–F): Shadier and quieter, great for tent campers and families wanting less foot traffic.
• Upper Loop (G): Easiest for RVs and group access, plus quick exit to Lassen Peak Highway.
