Butte Lake Stock Corral

Nestled at an elevation of 6,107 feet in the northeastern corner of Lassen Volcanic National Park, the Butte Lake Stock Corral offers a remote and tranquil escape for outdoor enthusiasts. This primitive federal campground serves as a perfect basecamp for those looking to immerse themselves in the pristine wilderness of Northern California. The terrain is characterized by its high-altitude setting, providing a cool, refreshing environment surrounded by the natural beauty of the volcanic landscape.

While the site offers a rustic experience with no utility hookups, it is well-equipped with essential amenities including both vault and flush toilets. Recreation is the primary draw here, with direct access to Butte Lake for swimming, canoeing, and fishing for local trout. Hikers will appreciate the proximity to several scenic trails that wind through the surrounding forest.

This campground is best suited for self-sufficient adventurers, including tent campers and those interested in group or backcountry camping experiences. Because it is located 45 minutes from the main park road, it offers a quieter atmosphere away from the busier tourist areas, making it an ideal choice for visitors seeking solitude and direct access to the park's natural features.
