Hyatt Lake Recreation Area

Very peaceful and quiet!

The campground is wonderful but bathrooms were not very clean and needed toilet paper.

The campground, Wild Cat, was wonderful, quiet, a great respite from the heat in the Rogue Valley where we live. Although there are still many birds to watch and enjoy, the lake is in terrible condition from the drought. It is low and water levels fell even lower overnight. We wanted to kayak and perhaps swim but the amount of algae in the lake and the announcement at the camp entrance that parasites in the lake are causing Swimmer's Itch (Schistosomiasis) canned that plan. We were disappointed and sad but climate change is here and our beautiful parks, lakes and wild places are suffering.

Campsite was great, we brought a rake to clean everything up before we set up, it helped keep the bugs at bay. We had great space, with minimal interruptions. I loved how shaded our area was, and the view was very nice ! A quick walk to the bathrooms, which were equipped with nice showers and toilets ! Several trees in the area had been cut down, so there was lots of wood available. Well maintained trails, and a nicely maintained waterfront. The water level was low, and we did see quite an algae bloom, but it was still great for kayaking !

Great campsite, no mosquitos, lovely lake.

Far away from everything, water level is super low. Bank fishing is difficult. Quiet, clean and pleasant.

Quiet, clean, huge spots, no water this year

WildCat at Hyatt Lake is my fav place to camp. Even if the water has been very very low for the last 5 years. Great sites and great clean up crews. Camp host comes around a lot and so do the rangers. Great place!!!!

Campground is located in a scenic area, but the campground itself isn't all that. At least in Loop C, campsites nearest the lake didn't actually have a view of it, and most sites weren't level. Despite the campsites being spread out from each other, they aren't actually all that private or pleasant because you have to stay near the road. I visited in May and w/ no campground host, no ranger/staff presence of any kind, and very few fellow campers (none of which were tent campers like me) it had an eerie atmosphere. Add in the cold wind off the lake and the geese that honked late into the night -- I cut my stay short. I'm bothered because when I made the reservation there were almost no sites left, suggesting this was a popular campground that would be nearly full when I got there. Can't believe that 80% of those bookings cancelled in the time in between...something faulty with Recreation.gov?

Lake wasn’t available for swimming. Water not working.
