Excerpts
Domingo Springs Campground is the yin of campgrounds-protected and feminine, down in the flowered and ferned shady marsh by the North Fork Feather River. Atop Lassen Volcanic National Park, you are close to major a supply source, Chester, and close to Lake Almanor for fishing, sailing, and swimming-but out of the way enough to camp in bucolic ease like a country squire.
There's good shopping at the supermarket in Chester-as well as decent cafes and restaurants right across the street. Get last-minute supplies and ease on into the campground when the shadows are long and Domingo Springs looks like a movie set, with its split-rail fences, rustic bridge, and wooded campsites.
All of the tent pitches are on soft ground, and most of them are backed into the woods. This campground is run by the University Foundation, California State University at Chico (like the other wonderful campgrounds at Eagle Lake), and it shows. Somebody has worried about how the campground looks and how it feels to camp there. Domingo Springs has an oriental-garden quality-magic.
