About
Eagle Campground is situated in the Eagle Lake Recreation Area of Lassen National Forest, located in a mature conifer forest of pines and firs on the southern shoreline of Eagle Lake. At 5,100 feet elevation, the campground occupies an exceptional stand of tall pines where the Sierras meet the Cascades, offering diverse landscapes and wildlife viewing opportunities. The campground features 30 reservation sites, 20 walk-in sites, two small group sites, and two sites equipped with electric and water hookups. Each site includes a paved parking spur (except site #50, which has gravel), picnic table, and campfire ring with grill. Eagle Campground is the closest facility to the marina and boat launch that accommodates RV and trailer camping, making it ideal for anglers and boaters. Eagle Lake, California's third-largest natural lake at 22,000 acres, is famous for fishing the Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout, a California Heritage Trout. The lake also provides ample space for swimming, kayaking, water skiing, and all types of boating by motor or sail, with no 2-cycle restrictions. A 5.2-mile paved bike and hiking trail connects all five campgrounds, three day-use areas, and the marina in the recreation area. The Eagle Lake Marina, located about one mile from the campground, offers gas, propane, supplies, boat rentals, showers, laundry facilities, and boat launch access. An RV dump station is available 2.5 miles away.
