What Guests Are Saying
Kyen Campground offers a beautiful setting near Lake Mendocino, with clean facilities, hot showers, and friendly staff. Many visitors appreciated the spacious, private campsites and the lake's accessibility for swimming and fishing. However, some noted issues with noise from other campers, unlevel sites, and litter around the lake, but overall, most guests expressed a desire to return.

It's a party place during the summer. Quite time starts at 10 pm, but people were blasting music until after midnight. Barely got a few hours of sleep. It was family friendly though, and the lake is right there. Full service bathrooms and showers.

Excellent campground! Clean, well shaded, easy to access electric hookup, good clean water spout, clean restrooms, clear signage on the campsites. And the host was very kind and respectful

What a pleasant campsite! The sites are separated from each other nicely so that campers don't feel crowded on top of each other and the trees and grass and lake so close make it very nice!
