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.

The campground is large, broken up into different sections. We stayed in Elderberry loop which has views of the water. As of May 2023 the water levels are still very low. You have to hike down embankments to actually get to the water. There is no shade down by the water so it heats up quickly. On the opposite side of the water you are able to drive down a boat ramp and drive to the water. It is about a 15 minute drive from the campground to get to the boat launch.
The campground is very shaded with tress, offering moderate privacy but all your neighbors are close by. Toilets were flush with running water. Tidy and clean. Not all sites have bear boxes. AT&T had no cell service in campsite or the nearest town of Trinity Center. The town does have a general store for dry goods, ice, gas, ect. It is about 20 minutes from the camp.
Because the water is so low it is tough to fully enjoy what this spot has to offer. Limited adventures for the family on day trips.

Easily accessible bathrooms and water spigots. The lake was dried up near this campground, but can be accessed by a drive. Sites are easy to find and well signed.

Beautiful campground with an amazing staff. However, they need to manage the water level better, yes there is a drought but after coming to the lake for 15 years it has never been this low in June. Also, there needs to be an RV dump in the campground, this seems like a simple request and easily built and serviced. Happy to pay a bit more for the convenience. Thank you.

Been going to Hayward Flat for 46 years. The bathrooms are always a problem and need to be redone so this doesn't happen every year. People need access to bathrooms that work. We have to go to different ones as they close them down due to plumbing problems. Please, Please fix the bathrooms.

Had a reservation for 8 days. The park closed a couple days into my reservation due to fires. I got a notification, so I didn’t go. I was refunded the closure days but not the days prior. The website gives instructions how to request a refund but this feature is unavailable. Please consider refunding me the fifty something dollars. Appreciated
