I'm guessing a lot of the people replying to the topic have not looked at a map. Lake Almanor is surrounded on three sides by active fire. At the fire is still very much burning towards that 4th side that has not burned yet. The O.P. did not name the campground, but it may not even be there in three weeks. Multiple highways in that area are closed. There is probably only one way in, and it may be closed as well. Currently the fire has consumed over 500,000 Acres.
The entire area around Lake Almanor is under an evacuation order.

Per the OP, this campground was not his destination, it was one of several overnight stops on the way to Lake Almanor.
I have reservations for Manzanita Lake campground in Lassen this fall. So I am watching this fire closely. But if I have to cancel my stay there, it doesn't affect a campground I may have booked in Medford or Yreka or Sacramento.
