About

Bullseye Lake Campground sits at 6,500 feet elevation in the Medicine Lake Highlands of Modoc National Forest, offering a more secluded camping experience compared to the busier Medicine Lake Recreation Area nearby. This primitive campground features approximately 10 sites with RV and tent parking pull-outs, surrounded by the distinctive volcanic geology and forested landscape characteristic of this region. The campground provides basic facilities including restrooms but no potable water or trash service, so campers must bring their own water and pack out all waste. The setting offers plenty of natural shade, making it a pleasant retreat during hot summer days. The area is known for its solitude and quiet character, appealing to those seeking a more remote forest camping experience. Bullseye Lake operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations available. The campground typically opens in early July once snow melts and roads become passable, remaining accessible through October before winter closure. A 14-day stay limit applies, and pets are allowed if kept on leash while in the campground.
