About Hyatt Lake Recreation Area

Nestled high in the Cascade Mountains among towering firs and pines, the Hyatt Lake Recreation Area is located in the northern corner of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument on the shores of beautiful Hyatt Lake. At just above 5 ft of elevation, the 745-acre Hyatt Lake Recreation Area provides options for summertime camping, picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, biking, fishing, swimming, boating, and many other recreation opportunities. The recreation area offers dramatic views of Mt. McLoughlin and serves as a great basecamp for access to the Monument and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Day-use is on a first-come, first-served basis and permits may be obtained at the self-service pay stations located at the main campground entrance and Wildcat Campground.

The lake had been drained, so there was basically no water and it was full of leeches. We had to leave because it was very hot that weekend and we could not cool off in the ‘lake.’ The camp hosts were very helpful and apologetic and gave us recommendations for where else we could go. Recreation.gov was not. I tried to get a refund, and they never got back to me. The only alert provided was that the lake level was “low” and the boat ramp was closed. This did not accurately represent the situation. I would recommend cancelling any trip to Hyatt lake if there is any mention of lake levels being lower than normal, just to be safe. Additionally, we were in the group site, which is advertised to accommodate 150 people. This might work if everyone comes in a large RV, but there are only two spots for tents in the whole group site, so I’m not sure how 150 people are supposed to sleep there. Just another word of caution! Otherwise, the facilities are really nice. I wish we could have stayed, but sitting around in the sun for three 100 degree days with no lake wasn’t particularly appealing.

The campgrounds are very well kept. The bathroom and showers are clean and kept in good condition. The park hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The campground is in amongst tall trees and provide a lot of shade. The bummer part is that the lake has hardly any water and is not able to be used for any recreational activity. The PCT comes right through the campgrounds and offers some nice hiking.

The campground was nice and quiet and the camp hosts were very hospitable and kept the bathrooms nice and clean. With the PCT so close, we were able to chat with some of the hikers. We had a very enjoyable 4 nights

Great facilities and the campground hosts were just amazing. The bathrooms were spotless. Campsites were spaced out well. One of the nicest campground stays I've had in recent memory.

Pros: very clean facilities, excellent hosts (Vicky was very kind, friendly and welcoming), beautiful scenery, no trash, showers were free, well maintained.
Cons: typical older shower head, hot water a bit meh but relatively decent. Biggest con is the lake was nearly nonexistent but who has control of the drought?
It just happened to be a rainy 4th of July so very few people (also probably because there was no lake) so it was very quiet.
Overall one of our favorite places to go that is nearby (Medford).

Enjoyed this campground, very little light pollution. Bathrooms have free showers and places to keep your clothes as you shower, a good amount of counter space. We stopped by here between Lassen and Crater Lake, would recommend

This campsite is a gem in Southern Oregon! Beautiful area, clean sites/toilets. The staff are friendly and helped us find a spot to fish nearby. I would definitely stay here again!
