Lasco was a seasonal logging camp in Lassen County, California.[1] It was located on what was the Fernley and Lassen Railway branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad 8 miles (13 km) north of Westwood,[2] at an elevation of 5574 feet (1699 m).[1]

Lasco was the site of a prominent logging camp constructed in 1922.[3][4][5] It opened in 1923, and was a seasonal home for 250 loggers as well as their families.[3] The camp was reportedly so attractive that cars would pull in thinking it was a summer resort.[6]

Seasonal occupation ended after the 1930 logging season.[3][7] Evidence of the camp could still be found on the ground according to a 1983 U.S. Forest Service report.[8]

The former Lasco rail station now lies along the Bizz Johnson trail, which was created after the Fernley and Lassen Railway line was abandoned in 1978.[9]
