National Park California

RVing at Lassen Nation Park in California


Lassen Park in California is an amazing place with massive lava tubes and whatnot. If you are in Northern California, this is a place to visit when RVing.

California is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. With a broad range of different climates, atmospheres and terrain, California offers vacationers many different activities to choose from. From the glitter of Hollywood to the family fun of Disneyland to the beaches and mountains of California, this state is a perfect place to go RVing if you can stand the gas prices.

One interesting spot to visit while you're in California is Lassen Volcanic National Park. This park, situated in northern California, is a great example of how volcanoes have shaped the world as we know it. On May 15, 1915, the volcano located in Lassen Peak erupted. This southernmost volcano in the Cascade Range emitted enough volcanic ash and material to affect areas that were up to 200 miles away.


If you are RVing in this area, there are a couple of places that cater to the RVing family. One of the Lassen RV campgrounds in the area is actually located in Hat Creek, California equidistant from Burney Falls and Lassen Volcanic National Park. The Rancheria RV Park, located at Lunker Lake, is a perfect spot for your Lassen trip. Lunker Lake is a three acre private lake that offers families a good spot for many different water activities. There are not just RV hookups at this park, rather there is also a camp store, bathing facilities a laundromat and restaurant all on site for your convenience.

Another RV facility located near this national park is the Lassen Pines RV Resort in McArthur, California. With 150 acres of land, this site is a beautiful spot to park your RV. There are 46 pull through sites available with 15 deluxe sites. Cable TV, electric, phone, water and many other amenities are available. A heated swimming pool, heated bathhouse and laundry room mean that you won't need to leave camp for many of the basics.

Whether you are a volcano aficionado or just an outdoor lover, Lassen Volcanic National Park is a great spot for your next California vacation. The winter season lasts a long time in this area of California high in the mountains with snow starting to accumulate in October and not melting until July. Summer is a more temperate time to see Lassen Volcanic National Park. In short, hit it in the summer if possible.
