Mill Creek Resort is magical! This is the perfect location for exploring Lassen National Park or just being. The grounds are lovely and Mill Creek runs along the edge of the property. I stayed in an rv spot and those sites are close together, but I didn’t mind and I appreciated the convenience of having water, power and sewer hook ups. There was a small creek running behind the rvs, which is nice sound to fall asleep to. Nice people there and a really great vibe. I will definitely be back!

The Butterfly Yurt is the perfect glamping spot! It's private, comfortable, and has just enough amenities to make the stay easy yet with the camping feel. Lori and Lucky were great hosts -- nearby if needed but out of sight and earshot. The location is great for access to Quincy, the Feather River canyon, the Lakes region (the hike to the Sierra Buttes lookout is epic!), swimming, hot springs, etc. Or just laze on the yurt's deck with a cup of coffee and read. We hope to go back again soon.

This was our first time camping in a yurt- or any premade structure for that matter! I couldn’t complain about a single thing, there was so much more provided in the yurt than we could have imagined. There is basically a full kitchen set up witch dishes and utensils, extra blankets, fire wood for the fire place, A SHOWER, toilet paper, lighters, even cooking oil! It was such a relaxing get away for my family and I. We had such a blast exploring the property, going to the swimming hole basically 3 minutes away, and just enjoying each others company. Although the structure itself is rather close to the home, it still feels so secluded and like you’re right in the middle of nowhere. If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on something nice for camping, don’t bother looking anywhere else!

The glamp site was really nice - the beds were comfy and the location was ideal with being close to Lassen. The bathrooms were a bit of a hike, but nice. The creek trail felt a bit sketchy after a long day of hiking. My chief complaint was there was nowhere to store our food at our site - our box was missing a door - and a mouse got into my trunk and ate through most all of our things overnight. Also the trash was a hike. But overall a really nice property and glamping setup!

The butterfly valley yurt was great! We went the end of May and it was arm enough during the day to go swim in the swimming hole but cold enough at night to cuddle up! Lori had a fan, oven, some plates and utensils, and tons of blankets. Bed was comfortable enough. Outhouse didn’t stink and easy to use. Shower nozzle not too strong, but there was a shower and warm water!
Lori was very thoughtful in making sure there was potable water at the yurt for use. We came very prepared so didn’t really need much. There’s electric and a deck w a table and chairs to relax on. There’s a trash bin to leave ur trash.
The property is beautiful. There are neighbors around but not close enough to matter. This was the first adventure trip of our “new” dog. We weren’t sure how he would be, but he did great w the seclusion of the property. We will def be back!

The yurt was clean and spacious. It got fairly close to freezing one night and yet we didn't feel the need to fire up the wood stove. The kitchen has the basics, but foodies will want to bring their favorite cooking gear if they plan to throw down in the kitchen. It's a reasonably short walk to the river, which looked pretty ideal for swimming. The carnivorous plants in the nearby botanical garden are worth a visit. Both the hosts were really nice, as were their two dogs.
We'll definitely go back.
