Brian T ★ 2 · Sep 2025We reserved the group sites for my school and planned a day hiking to Cinder Cone and kayaking with the students. When we showed up, the ranger was over-the-top rude, stating that if any car was touching dirt he would ticket each and every one, and that he didn't even want us there. He said the bathrooms were locked and the water was turned off, and he wouldn't turn it back on again (we had to go to Old Station and buy all of their bottled water). We had one outhouse for 60 people. We made the most if it though, beautiful campground and lake, the Cinder Cone was fantastic, we had no other issues besides the ranger. The next day we had a very nice ranger, so maybe the other one had a bad day, but partially ruined our trip by his comments and locking everything down.
Eileen K ★ 4 · Jul 2024The 6 mile gravel road into the campground is pretty rough. The campsite was large with a convenient pull through and sites are not too close together. Flush toilets and a ware wash sink were a plus - we've been to primitive campgrounds so this was a step above. The lake was walking distance, beautiful and no crowds whatsoever. Cinder Cone hike was awesome.
Adam J ★ 4 · Jul 2023Group camping, B and C basically pull throughs on the edge of group area. Site is large and open to the back, fire cleared all underbrush, some trees remain but ash and that dirty dirt made for black feet quick. Extremely friendly camp hosts, very clean bathrooms, nicely maintained roads in the campground, 6 mile drive off the highway on compacted gravel needs some love. Filling water for trailer tanks done at the bathroom no spickets, around the group camp. Butte lake was great, nice day use area, paddle board and kayaking was nice. There during full moon so fishing was bad ( other anglers same problem). Cinder cone trailhead right at the campground. 3 tables and bear boxes per group, 2 fire pits, group B fire pit is not raised and ground level pretty sketchy for kids. The big campfire spot for ranger speeches completely burned. Great for groups, little bugs not bad though, no bees this year, little bit of a drive to subway caves and even more to north park entrance, great spot to check out Lassen

Butte Lake Group sits at about 6,100 feet on soft volcanic soils under a stand of tall Ponderosa pines, a quiet pocket of campsites that feels a world away from the park entrance. There are six group sites here, and each is set up to accommodate both RVs and tents, so parties traveling with a mix of rigs and ground campers can camp together. The campground occupies the north end of Loop B, directly adjacent to the main Butte Lake Campground, and you reach it via a rough six-mile gravel spur off Highway 44 east of Old Station; the site is relatively remote and is roughly a 45-minute drive from the park's main road. Butte Lake itself is within walking distance and has a non-motorized boat launch for kayaks and canoes, trout fishing access, and places to swim; a large black lava flow pours into the lake and forms rocky shorelines that invite paddlers to explore. Basic services are seasonal: flush toilets and running water are turned on during summer months, while vault toilets are available outside the peak season. The campground doubles as a convenient trailhead hub for several of Lassen's signature outings. The Cinder Cone Trail begins at or very near the facility, giving hikers direct access to the volcanic dome and the Painted Dunes; Snag Lake and Bathtub Lake are also close by for shorter hikes or backpacking starts. Beyond the immediate vicinity, Lassen Volcanic National Park offers a wide range of recreation from auto touring and biking to wildlife viewing, picnicking, paddling and horseback activities in other park areas and its landscape of fumaroles, mud pots and over 300 volcanic domes provides a distinctive backdrop to any visit. If you're planning a trip, factor in the campground's small size and remote access, check current seasonal conditions and service availability, and consult the park's campground page for the latest information on fees and reservations and on nearby attractions such as Subway Cave tours in the adjacent Lassen National Forest (offered on summer weekends, late April through November).
