Butte Lake Campground Announces Required Reservations for Camping Spots

Reservations will now be mandatory for all camping spots at Butte Lake Campground in Lassen Volcanic National Park in California, according to a press release

This move to a reservation-only system aims to streamline the camping experience and ensure availability for visitors planning to explore the park’s northeastern section. Campsite bookings can be made through Recreation.gov.

Butte Lake Campground is accessible via a six-mile journey on Butte Lake Road, which branches off south from Highway 44. To facilitate a smoother entry into the park, visitors are encouraged to purchase a digital park pass ahead of their visit.

Butte Lake Campground, despite its lack of extensive amenities, offers a variety of recreational activities. Visitors can paddle along the shores of Butte Lake, bordered by striking lava rocks, or hike up Cinder Cone. This hike, which ascends 750 feet, rewards adventurers with panoramic views of the Painted Dunes and the surrounding landscape.

The campground showcases a unique blend of tranquility and adventure. The amenities at Butte Lake Campground are modest, reflecting its remote nature and focus on preserving the natural environment. Notably, there is no camp store, ice or firewood for sale, laundry facilities, or dump station. An amphitheater and staff are available on a seasonal basis, enhancing the camping experience during peak months.

Located uphill from the campground, the corral includes two metal corrals with water troughs and spigots, a vault toilet, and can accommodate up to eight animals and 10 people. 

By requiring reservations, the park aims to ensure that guests can secure a spot to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities available. For more information, click here.
