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.

When we arrived the trash was overflowing. The out-houses began to smell badly. the water was shut off for two days. Please place a dumpster at the lower restroom at dogwood loop. when the lake level is this low we need vehicle access to the boats.

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

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.

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.

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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
