Nice campground and close to beach and some amenities, but it needs a second bathroom/shower facility to service the campground.

Summary
Eagles Nest at Camp Richardson Resort offers a beautiful setting with convenient access to the beach, clean bathrooms, and helpful staff. However, some campers noted noise disturbances from rowdy neighbors and car alarms, as well as a lack of privacy due to close campsites. While many enjoyed the amenities and spaciousness, there were complaints about maintenance issues and hidden charges.

The campsite and bathrooms were very well maintained. There was a problem when we tried to move our campsite because we were experiencing very rowdy people in the campsite next to us. I called Recreation.gov to move the campsite to a vacant campsite on the other side of the property. They were of no help told me that I couldn’t move the campsite and when I went to Camp Richardson to ask them if they could move us. They referred me back to Recreation.gov. So the situation went nowhere and we were unable to move to a vacant site that was vacant for our entire state that we were there. We were forced to be around a rowdy crowd. Very unfortunate that the two sides couldn’t come together to assist a customer.

We found the campsite and surrounding area to be a great place to camp. The bike paths, coffee shop, and ice cream parlor were fantastic. The Grove restaurant was also great and the walk to the lake was very convenient.
That said there was a good deal of noise from other campers after quiet hours. There was also a lot of airhorn and car alarm use to scare away bears. I have camped in bear country before and didn't have a similar level of noise. For example Mt Whitney base camp had more bears and much less noise!

Beautiful spot, great location, clean bathrooms, and proper bear bins. Wishing they had an indoor dish washing station, as the bears were very active.

Gorgeous setting! Bring ear plugs at night for the car alarms (people set off to scare away the bears), and coyotes howling. Nice that they have bathrooms and showers but they are heavily used.
