What Guests Are Saying
Hayward Flat Campground offers a beautiful setting with stunning lake views and clean, well-kept campsites, making it a great destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Many visitors enjoyed kayaking and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, with some noting the campground's proximity to trails. However, there were concerns about restroom cleanliness and maintenance, as well as issues with overcrowding and bee activity. Overall, while there are areas for improvement, many campers expressed a desire to return for the natural beauty and recreational opportunities.

Spot #69 was nice and flat. Perfect spot to place multiple tents. Short walk to the water. Will definitely be visiting again.

We have been camping here for nearly 40 years. With the exception the last couple of years due to low reservoir water and COVID. We made it, finally again this year. The reservoir was looking good, water levels were up, not full, but up. My issue is price now vs what we got. In years past the bathrooms were cleaned and checked daily. That never happened our entire 5 night stay. Thank goodness we were in an RV instead of a tent. Bathrooms were dirty, no TP. Pretty disgusting. I’ve always been happy to recommend Hayward Flats campground, not so much now. We will probably try again because of the nostalgia, and we love the reservoir. But come on. We pay more and we expect a clean restroom at least

Was looking forward to this campsite in the Trinity Alps region of CA. When I arrived I was shocked to see a very empty campground and most of the trees marked up with brighly colored paint (due for 'thinning'; very heavy thinning IMHO). The 'lake' is way down so the shoreline is fairly ugly red gravel/sand. Facilities were not topnotch. So I cannot say I highly recommend this campsite.
