What Guests Are Saying
Hayward Flat Campground offers a beautiful location near a lake, providing opportunities for swimming and kayaking, which many visitors enjoy. While recent tree clearing has left some debris and reduced shade, the campground remains relatively quiet and private with well-maintained restrooms. However, there are concerns about maintenance and the absence of a camp host, leading to mixed experiences regarding campsite conditions and amenities.

The camp sites were EXCELLENT !! Our biggest problem was the water faucets and toilets kept getting shut down.
The poor tent campers had no other option but to load up the flush toilets that would not flush and they quickly became disgusting. We were there five nights and a few times a truck would cruise thru with Port A Potties.. but never dropped them off. Other than that it was a nice shady and quiet campground.

The weekend we were there the toilets quit working.... and the garbage was a little out of control. And it was ridiculously hot on top of that. So we had a good experience I guess, just not as good as it could have been.

2 stars off for a bit of trash left by the prior users of the campsite and hot summer daytime temperatures (due to the relatively low 2500' elevation). That aside, you get a spacious campsite, a dense canopy of pines in and around the area, and a great lake to swim/boat/etc in at walking distance.

I have been vacationing at Hayward Flat for the last 41 years. I have watched the campground steadily decline each year. This year the water was sometimes on and sometimes off (no toilets). The garbage was pickup was at such a horrific state it seemed as though we were living at a homeless camp. This not only a bear attractant it is a serious health concern. The flies loved it and reproduced rapidly. It is a shame the Forest Service has allowed this to happen at such a beautiful location. It would be nice if the lake level was maintained at a higher level so we don't have to traverse 200 yards of moon surface rocks to reach our boats.

We have been coming to trinity for 30 years . We are constantly upset with the condition of the ramps.in tanerry the build a new ramp that exits the water at 40 ft and elevated it to eliminate trailer parking without providing parking in the campground.The only ramp this year and
Many others was minersville that is 70 ft down the extended it but it is atrocious the paved part is only on the extension and the turn around is rocks and rubble they did not even blade it while investing
In 70 ft ramp at trinity center ! Where is their thinking any one that camps knows that is an impossible distance to launch from campsites
