Customer Reviews
The road to get up the 6 mile rd is very rocky and unpaved but other than that the views were superb and campgrounds were clean!
Want to hike among dozens of alpine lakes without crowds? This is your destination. Hills were a bit much for our biking skills and fishing the lakes in October (Downey & Milk) yielded not a single bite. But the scenery and the many trails out of this site are like nothing I’ve ever seen - stunning! We did manage to get our Winnebago camper van up that dirt road but it took nearly an hour to go the 5+ miles. Those pot holes are NO JOKE. This place is a hiking paradise.
Seeing Mt. Lassen 90 miles away as the crow flies really is special. The fire lookout on the peak above Bassets was close and made me wonder what conversations may have been had, signaled by mirror, smoke or flag, occurring between the two fire sentries. The out house on the edge of a cliff was unique to say the least. ~7600 elevation gives way to 100 mile visibility and provides meaning to the saying "I'm on top of the world".
Although we needed to drive about 6 miles down a bumpy dirt road which is best done in a 4WD, I was pleasantly surprised with this campground. There is no garbage, so you need to pack it out, there were squeaky clean vaulted toilets with toilet paper, parking for day hikers or backpackers, and campsites for car campers with bear lockers that were right next to the trailhead. We arrived at 9pm Friday night and got the last spot.
06/24/24 almost no snow. ⛄️ This place is magic and unique. Just GO…
Nice primitive backcountry campground, that offers some amazing views! Quite a trek to get back to it. It sits approximately 6 mi off the road. A four-wheel drive is not necessary during dry conditions, but it is recommended.
