edit: Wrote Pinnacle, but meant Lassen Volcanic

My family will be traveling between Yosemite and Pinnacles Lassen Volcanic National Park in mid-June and plan on stopping at Lake Tahoe overnight. We are using it as a semi-relax day between a bunch of hiking, but we won't get in until late in the evening and then we'll leave in the early afternoon to get to our next location. So we might only have 4-6 hours to do stuff.

I'm wondering what would be the recommendation for where to stay, North or South. We'll probably want to hit up some visitor center/gift shop, but would prefer if they were for state/national park. Maybe we'd try to do an easy hike or take some pictures of the lake/wilderness.
