Lassen to Bridgeport

As part of a 3 week No. Calif/ So. Oregon loop in June, I need help planning the section from Lassen (Manzanita Campground) to Bridgeport. I’ll be in a 34’ class A with a toad.

1) From Lassen, what is 36 east > 89 east > 70 east like (going through Quincy and Portola)? Google maps is telling me to take north 89 > east 44 to Susanville, then hit 395 south. Any recommended dispersed camping near good stream fishing with either route?

From Manzanita campground the two best ways to go would be to travel north to Old Station and take 44 east to Susanville and then south on US 395 to Reno and Bridgeport; or if willing to contend with a fairly steep and long descent down from the summit continue from the campground through Lassen Park and take SR 70 to US 395 to Reno and south to Bridgeport.


2) Further south, I intend to go stop in Markleeville area for a day or two fishing the East Carson River. From Markleeville, Google maps is telling me to take the 88 north (backtracking), to the 395, then south. Is there anything wrong with the 89 south/east from Markleeville, hitting 395 just south of Topaz Lake?

SR 89 south from Markleeville is quite a grade both up and down Monitor Pass for any RV. I would backtrack to Minden/Gardnerville and take US 395 south to Bridgeport.
