If you are planning on camping at Lassen National Park, you'll have plenty of options for RV camping, camping cabin accommodations or tent camping plus all the amenities at the nearby KOA campground. There is a lot to see in this park, including volcanoes, different geothermal features, and unique lakes and hikes, so you will want to plan a few days to visit and explore it all!
This area has experienced volcanic activity for millions of years and visitors can see evidence of the existing hydrothermal areas, with boiling springs and lakes, steam vents and mudpots within the park. There are four types of volcanoes in the world, cinder cone, composite, plug dome, and shield, and all four are found in Lassen Volcanic National Park! The largest hydrothermal area of the park is Bumpass Hell Trail where you can see bubbling pools, steam vents and mudpots. Visit Devil’s Kitchen, a Warner Valley area hiking trail, to see Hot Springs Creek, boiling springs, and hear hissing sounds from the cracks and steam vents coming from the ground. Another short hike from Warner Valley Trailhead is to Boiling Springs Lake, a milky lake that has a temperature of around 125 degrees with mudpots and steam vents around the shore. Sulphur Works is the most easily accessible hydrothermal area in the park, where you can see steam vents and mudpots viewable from a sidewalk.
