Campground reservations

Monitor Snowmelt for Highway and Hydrothermal Access

While day-use entry does not currently require a timed reservation, all park campgrounds require advance booking through official channels. The narrow window of July through September sees high demand; seasonal snow impacts the opening of Lassen Park Highway and Bumpass Hell boardwalk. Check the official NPS site for current status before travel.
