Lake Almanor Estates

This campground/RV park is an utter dump. If that's not enough for you to believe me, then read on... Found an arrowhead on the campsite. The campsite was not cleaned and has a lot of trash from past campers. Lots of rocks that will puncture your tent and not well landscaped unless you're by the bathrooms. They water what looks to be a "common area," lots of utility trucks and workers in and out multiple times a day and night. Showers and laundry rooms are decent $2 to wash that I could see, not sure about drying. The women's restroom has a lock to gain access into it as well as the windows have a thin dark blacked out so nobody can see inside. Not very well ventilated in the building, especially since you can not open the windows without a pepping tom. During our stay, we walked the gro

Wow. We stayed here for three months and got a screaming deal on our RV site. The sites are very large. You're in the pine trees. The showers are very clean. The park is pet-friendly. Westwood has some really good restaurants, too. You are two hours from anywhere, really: Reno, Redding, McCloud. Closest shopping is Chester to the west (about 15 minutes) or Susanville to the east (about 25-30 minutes). And, what beautiful country to drive in! There are trains day and night, but we didn't find them hard to live with. We loved the sound as they went through the canyon. Staff was always working on whatever needed doing. We would definitely go back for another summer.

Horrible experience. To start off with the pictures do not show how much of a dump it is. It’s definitely a little sketchy if you choose one of the cabins. On top of that the service is horrible. Trust me, anywhere else will be better.

Great place to stay! We did one of the cabins and Mark brushed the snow off the steps and set up our heater before we arrived. It was quiet the whole time, and the town is small and near Chester. I will likely try to stay here every time we come up this area of the Sierra.

LOVE this place... thank you for welcoming us with open arms in our tiny home. We stayed in the RV section but felt right at home next to their small cabins. Our visit in February was amazing and they kept the park well-maintained through the snow. The owner and manager of this campground are so funny and nice - will definitely have you laughing. Bathrooms were sparkling clean. Nice drive to Lassen National Park, Chester, and Almanor Lake.
