The town of Chester is about 10 miles away if you need a store for something. The campgrounds are close together. Which we don't really like. Each has a fire ring and grill to cook on. Tons of wood to scrounge for a fire but you'll need a burn permit which are free and good for the entire year. Be sure to secure your food as those cute but pesky chipmunks and squirrels will help themselves. We came before the season was open and it was wonderfully quite.

What a great forest service campground. We were at the South Campground at site #10 and we had a…read moregood amount of space between us and our neighbor. It wasn't too far from the restrooms and trash either. The drinking water was just across from us and compared to a state park or national park campground, it was pretty quiet. There is a paved hiking trail to Lake Almanor just across the entrance from the South Campground. On an early morning, I took a jog with my 1-year-old while the others were still snoozing and the weather was just perfect at 8:30 AM. Although I found that even for early July, it can get a bit cold in the early morning (1 AM-8 AM) in the tent. So pack extra blankets. There are no showers here, so you will have to find them somewhere else. Overall, this is a great spot to camp if you plan to go to Mount Lassen National Park or surrounding areas. There is a lot of space for the whole family at your campsite.

Even at 9p it felt like she was waiting for us. She showed us our cabin and answered a couple of questions we had. The cabins are nice. They felt newer, the bedding was warmer than I anticipated, so the comforter and pillow I brought I really didn't need. There's heaters in the rooms, and some of the cabins have ac. They have a small fridge/freezer that works, a 3 burner stove with a kettle and some basic cookware along with plates utensils etc. it was a little get away for us and Debbie and the other host let us borrow his personal little fire box so we could have a nice little fire while we sat on the porch and took in the beautiful view. There's a common area too that had some games like horseshoes and maybe lawn darts, we didn't use it. There's a little bbq grill in the back too. Is a convenient spot on the north side of the lake that still feels quiet compared to some other places we've stayed. I'd highly recommend coming here and look forward to our next time we come visit.

Some of the western shore comprises of private property with no beach access but there is a public beach and campground area a few miles out of town. The effects of the 2021 Dixie Fire are seen along the drive, but there were still some green pines along the shore. The beach itself was rocky but wonderfully windswept and dramatic. Late on a Saturday afternoon it was very quiet-only 2 boaters coming in and no one else using the day use area. The water was very choppy following some afternoon thunderstorms and the skies were very moody. It was a nice way to stretch my legs after a long drive from the Bay Area and hope I get the chance to check out the East shore during my visit.

After staying here for a week I figured I should write a review for this place. Overall it was a…read morevery good stay. The campground is about 3 miles off of Prattville Butt Reservoir Road. It's a narrow and winding road with steep grades so be cautious. Once inside the campground you will find signs clearly marking the sites so finding where you need to be shouldn't be an issue. The sites are spaced far enough apart and are decent size as to not be a problem with your neighbors. Parking spots are also fairly large. We easily parked two vehicles in one spot. There was a faucet fairly close to our site, but they ask that you do not wash at it. We took paper plates with us, so that wasn't a big deal. Trash bins are few and far. I only saw two dumpsters (there might be more, not sure) and for us they were a bit of a walk. No big deal, though. We just saved our trash in a bag and hiked it over at the end of the day. The camp hosts seemed friendly. No problems with them to report. They were always buzzing around in their golf carts checking on things and cleaning up after slobs. Cell service is obtainable. I use Verizon and had to drive back out towards Prattville Butt Reservoir Road about 1.5 miles to get a signal, but I did get connected. During our stay the campground literally went silent at 9:00pm. Not sure why, but it seemed the entire population all went to sleep at the same time. The town of Chester is only about a 12 mile drive from the campground, so if you forgot something you might be able to just drive into town and get it. The wildlife was our only worry. During our stay there was a report of a bear wondering around. We never saw it, though. There are food lockers, but most are made of old plywood. I can't see those being much use against a bear. We just put all our food in the car at the end of the day. Bear spray is something you might consider as a "just in case" item. Hornets and flies were another issue, but when you are out in nature like that what can one expect? Chipmunks were running all over the place and were very entertaining to watch. They didn't cause any problems, and didn't try to steal anything. In conclusion I would rate this campground 5 stars. We had a great time just relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. I was able to fly a small drone (DJI Mini 2) around and snap a bunch of photos. I posted some here. Just a side note: The Dixi Fire burned right to the edge of the campground, so that much was saved and is still worth a visit. The grounds were not effected by the fire.

I ran in the campground and did a full two miles without looping back at all. There is also a big long paved biking trail through the forest. I don't know how long. Long. Like 8 miles. The campsites aren't crowded. I love the trees. Wasps. One two of our trips at least 3 people from our party were stung. They are def around the mud pond Worst things: they keep sites open even if there is an osprey nest above it crapping all over your personal stuff and just look at the concrete photos. The third time we went here no one was in the water because of the heat wave made the water temp higher and increased bird poop bacteria or something so that kinda sucked. Kids had fun playing in the woods though.

But if you can tolerate that, you will be rewarded with access to a delightful lake that has many wonderful hikes around it, beautiful trees, and amazing sunsets. There are sizeable bear boxes to store your food in, lots of room for a tent or three, fire rings, and picnic tables. Most sites have amazing shade and all are any easy walk to the lake, if not right on it. Note that the last 6-7 miles of road are gravel & rutted in places. Just allow extra time & be willing to drive very slowly at times. It's worth it! Try to make time to hike up to Crystal Lake. It's steep, but there are lots of shady places to rest on the way, and the lake is blissful for swimming in. There are about 18 campsites, most of which have great privacy and shade, and none of which are far from the comfort station. :) and at $12 a night, this campground is a jewel! Come early in the week (and day) to get the most selection. It can fill up, and only the group sites are reservable.
