Summit Lake Stock Corral

Summit Lake Stock Corral offers a unique, primitive camping experience situated at a breathtaking elevation of 6,799 feet within the heart of Lassen Volcanic National Park. This site is uniquely positioned for those traveling with stock, providing direct access to major park trails and located just a quarter-mile from key equestrian routes. The area is surrounded by the rugged beauty of the California high country, placing visitors within walking distance of the serene Summit Lake and only seven miles from the iconic Lassen Peak trailhead.

As a primitive federal campground managed by the USFS, the site provides a back-to-basics experience focused on nature and accessibility. Facilities are limited to vault toilets and fire rings, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a rustic atmosphere. Because there are no hookups available, campers should come prepared to be fully self-sufficient during their stay.

This campground is best suited for experienced campers, equestrian enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers who value proximity to world-class hiking and volcanic landscapes over modern conveniences. Whether you are looking to explore the volcanic terrain or simply enjoy the peaceful mountain air, Summit Lake Stock Corral serves as an excellent, year-round basecamp for your high-altitude adventures.
