Hawk’s Nest Tionesta

Great place: nice location, nice owners. We stayed in a cute little cabin while visiting Lava Beds & surrounding sites, which are very interesting in their own way. We looked forward to returning at the end of each day, as this was a very pleasant place to hang out: either on the front steps of our cabin watching the birds and the other campers, or walking around the peaceful surrounding environment. The owners were very helpful, especially Lisa. We would like to come back.
Note the little store & gas station next door is closed. Captain Jack’s Stronghold north of Newell has decent food (restaurant and store).

A great campground nestled in the forest with lots of huge pine trees and plenty of shade.
I gave it 5 stars because:
Huge campsites that are perfectly level with trees everywhere
Extremely clean facilities with trash cans between each RV site
Quiet place set among the woods
The owners now manage the park. They had a campground fire each night and provided all the firewood for that. We had a fabulous time getting to know them, really nice people. They kept asking us, «Is there anything you need?» Now, who does that these days?
We arrived late, around 10pm, our first night and the owner met us at our campground. Was very friendly, even for the late hour, and told us to pay in the morning. We knew immediately that this was going to be a nice place to stay.

Great little park with RV spaces, tent sites and cabins nestled in the trees at the base of Timber Mountain. It’s a great jumping off point for exploring Northern California! We stayed here while we visited Lava Beds National Monument (way cool, by the way!), Lassen Volcanic National Park, and the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Had a great time… especially when we got back to the campground each afternoon… they have group campfires at night and it was an awesome opportunity to kick back, relax and meet some other cool people!
