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 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.

This is a basic, no frills campground. It’s a very long and exhausting walk down to the water. The shoreline was muddy and steep. The forest is beautiful and the toilets flush so that’s a plus. I’m not sure that we’ll return. It wasn’t worth the drive for us.

We love this campground!! It sits 2 mi off the highway, so very quiet. Big spacious sites with lots of trees. Clean restrooms and water close by. The perfect place for relaxing.

Water was lower than expected given the winter snowpack and amount of rain.
A lot of branches and downed trees around the camp area. Bathrooms poorly maintained.
