No need to travel far to pop by out of the ordinary stuff like Chaos Crater; dry warm beds await you at Bailey Creek Cottages. This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Mill Creek RV Park is always a wonderful experience; you can go for a hike on the Chaos Crags Trail. Good hiking is available along the Growler
 
               Trail, and not far from here you can enjoy the trees of Dwarf Forest.
The Southern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. All year is a great time in the Southern Cascade Range if you go for the outdoors. There are other places here than Crags Lake, for example Reflection Lake, and Sunflower Flat is a good spot.
Life's too short to enjoy all the amusing things in the Southern Cascade Range. You can see Chaos Crags from Crags Lake, and popping by Lassen Volcanic National Park is just something you need to do if you haven't yet. This lake is so wonderful. A tremendous location to camp here at Crags Lake is Kings Creek Campground. Lakes? Sure, Lily Pond is close by.

Heart Lake Twin Meadows Trail
Twin Meadows was originally named White Meadows and our old family cabin is the one between the meadows. They ran cattle with T.A.Spencer the first pres. of the Tehama Co. Cattleman's Assoc. The forming of the first association was in response to the loss of grazing rights when the park was formed. The shortage of beef during WW1 prompted Woodrow Wilson to state that if necessary they would raise sheep on the lawn of the White House. ...

I ALSO HAVE GONE CAMPING AT HOLE IN THE GROUND SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I WOULDNT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY I LOVE IT THERE AND NOW SO DO MY KIDS....
I've been going to hole in the ground, off and on for 40 years. From when I was a kid hiking in the forest, tubing down the creek, swimming in the pools, and fishing for planted trout that the hatchery would toss in the creek. Now it is a restricted salmon run, there is no planters and restrictions on the type of tackle you can use. The fishing was great as a kid. I like how peaceful it is, with the sound of creek and an occasional bluejay chirping. I enjoy cooking on the wood stoves. There are only a hand full left, (what a shame). I will be meeting one of my brothers and dad at the hole in three weeks. My large family with foster children love going to the hole. Some have been before and some will experience it for the first time. **lot of good memories**...

Potato Patch Campground
18 miles away
We camp at Potato Patch campground annually with several other families. It is a very nice campground on a beautiful river. There is not a lot to do nearby though and it is a primitive campground with pit toilets and no showers. There are no hookups for RVs, but we tent camp anyway. We mostly play by the river (very cold water). Our attraction is the beauty and the people we camp with. We used to fish, but it is all catch and release. I can definitely recommend it but you have to be looking for a relaxing and beautiful setting and mostly doing not much of anything.
