Hirz Bay offers beautiful campsites with stunning views, easy access to the lake, and well-maintained facilities during the off-season. Many guests appreciate the spaciousness of the sites and the presence of water spouts and trash cans. However, issues such as noise from nearby campers, overflowing trash, and inadequate bathroom maintenance were commonly noted, particularly during busy weekends.

This is a favorite amongst our family and friends. The women’s rest rooms tho- the feminine waste container was over flowing And gross- not addressed during garbage pick up times
Please let your lands keeper/ evs person know to empty this regularly.
Thank you

This is our favorite spot in the whole campground, and we come every year for a family camping trip.

Site is tiny and blackberry bushes surround the paved area where a trailer or car is parked. We couldn’t even step out of our trailer comfortably due to the overgrown blackberry bushes. The “patio” area was small and in the sun. We ended up taking a friends spot who didn’t show up. Try site 22, that’s a great site.

This was such a beautiful campsite! It comes with two concrete tables on a concrete slab, a fire pit, and a barbecue. It is partially shaded. It does not have enough trees for a hammock or a dog line, but we made do with our dogs. It has plenty of space for 3 large tents, and probably could have fit 4. Our tents sleep 6-8 people. It is close to 2 garbage cans, the water spout and quick access to 3 separate bathrooms. The trailhead is directly across the road from the campsite. The access to the water is a short drive Toward the Hirtz bay group sites. There is no camp host. The bathrooms are maintained daily except for on holidays. We were there during independence day weekend. There were only a couple fireworks on the lake that we could hear. If you need a store, you can drive north on interstate 5 toward the town of Lakehead. There's a small store and gas stations there. Or you can drive south on 5 toward Shasta Lake or Redding.
