Hyatt Lake Recreation Area

Great Bathrooms

I hadn't expected such upgraded facilities, including hot. showers in a BLM property. Pleasant surprise. We briefly played along the lakeshore, throwing the stick in the water for the dog to retrieve. Later we learned from signs posted on the bathroom doors warning of some toxic algae. The dog didn't seem affected, but it might help having this information on the webpage.

Also, it was annoying arriving at the site without a reservation, finding a site and then attempting to pay. Unfortunately, the fully automated pay station would not allow reserving an overnight camp site as an option. We had to reach out to complete the reservation by contacting Recreation.Gov, instead of paying at the campground. Fortunately, there was cell service.

Finally, while it's a bit off topic, visitors might be advised there are no services, such as fuel or food nearby.

Our campground was close to the lake and it was beautiful. The land was very active with deer walking through open campsites and playing in the water and bats whizzing overhead eating bugs in the evening. It’s a fun place to camp just to see the animals in their habit.
Also the managers of the grounds were very helpful and kind. We lost our car keys as we’re packing to leave and they really worked with us to solve the problem. I would make the trek to hang out here again. Thanks!

I was tricked into making a reservation here. I tried to book at a different location. It wasn't available, but directed me to this location using words suggesting that it was the same location. I ended up making a reservation that I couldn't use. Wasted $20 for my mistake.

The camp host was super nice and helpful. Unfortunately we ended up cutting our stay short, because of the blue/green algae and no ATV riding in the surrounding area.

Hyatt is a gorgeous camp ground. So peaceful and quiet. So sad to see the water so low which kept us from putting in our boat and so weedy to fish from the shore. This will not keep us from going back.

The camp hosts were amazing. They were the best host I've ever experienced. They kept everything clean and check to make sure we had everything we needed. I will visit again gust to see them again.

This campsite was really good. The showers were cleaned everyday and the campsite was well put together offering a water spigot and a bucket nearby. Toilets were clean and daily cleaning of the bath/toilet. The site hosts are present and are very friendly. The fishing in this area was awesome as well. We caught and released over a couple of hundred over the weekend between my 8 other family members. Lots of crappie and bass, some catfish, and trout. Best catch was an 8lb bass. We would come back.

The Wildcat campground further down the east side of the lake to me is much preferable to the main campground. It's smaller, more quiet. No host at that site but he did drive over to check. One toilet was locked due to maintenance needs but the other one was available. The water is low but it was still quite pretty. Sites are plenty large and level, all with lake views.

Noisy neighbors until 3am were a problem. Wildlife was incredible. David and Vicky the hosts were great.
