Hyatt Lake Campground

About

Nestled among towering firs and pines in the Cascade Mountains, Hyatt Lake Recreation Area occupies the northern corner of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. The 745-acre recreation area sits at 5,200 feet elevation on the shores of Hyatt Lake, providing a cool summer retreat with dramatic views of Mt. McLoughlin. The main campground offers 44 sites across three loops (A, B, and C), all requiring advance reservations through Recreation.gov. The campground features developed amenities including flush toilets, hot showers, an RV dump station, a wheelchair-accessible fish cleaning station, and a playground. Two boat ramps with dock facilities provide lake access for the 10-mph no-wake lake, which offers excellent lake trout and smallmouth bass fishing during spring and summer. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail intersects the campground, making it an ideal basecamp for hiking. Additional facilities in the recreation area include the 12-site primitive Wildcat Campground and a 5-site equestrian campground with corrals. The area is part of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, established to protect its remarkable ecological diversity including a range of biological, geological, aquatic, archaeological, and historic resources. Little Hyatt Lake and additional public shoreline are accessible within the recreation area.
