Mill Creek Resort
Set amid towering evergreens in a tranquil patch of Lassen National Forest, this delightfully unfussy 1930s cabin and camping resort feels as though it could be inside the national park, although it's actually about 10 miles south on a scenic country road. Nine dark-wood cabins with bright-green roofs accommodate four guests (six in some cases), and all have handcrafted beds, simple but fully equipped kitchens, and barbecue grills and fire pits. You can pick up basic groceries in the old-fashioned general store, and a casual restaurant and bar serves burgers and other hearty fare, plus craft beers and milk shakes. There are several RV sites, as well as camping cabins, primitive tent sites, and glamping options.
