Hyatt Lake Recreation Area

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.

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 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.

Great Bathrooms

Great place to camp. A lot of space between camp sites so did not feel crowded.

Lovely campsite. Relatively quiet and private, though there are not as many trees separating one of the campsites. Would absolutely stay again! Accessing the excellent showers at the main campgrounds is easy, though it's about 2 miles away. I brought my bike - the ride has slight elevation and takes about 20 minutes.

Be careful of the toads that come onto the road at night - they kind of look like pine cones so don't step on them!

Made reservations for three nights at Hyatt lake. Got there, space was not level. Was supposed to be 50 long,12 foot wide. We have a 20 foot trailer,pulled by ford f250 pickup. Big boulder on one side. No way could we put slide out.without someone taking it off.
We were over as far as we could get,without getting off pavement.
Decided not to stay,as camp host would not trade spaces. Can’t get phone reception for thirty miles . Not worth going back.
Please check your spaces and pictures of spaces. We were really disappointed,as we wanted to stay three days,before going back to Redding,ca Ended up at Lava Beds. Sincerely Yours Di New

Always a good time at Hyatt Lake

Always a good time at Hyatt Lake.

I stayed 2 nights in loop b, site 20. It’s pretty level, and fully shaded. There’s a fire ring, but I don’t remember a picnic table. The bathroom was clean enough. Bring quarters for the shower. It’s a small campground with decent sized sites so you have space from your neighbors. Very quiet, except one group had friends who had loud car stereos. Luckily, they didn’t play them too long. You’re really out in the middle of nowhere, so bring everything you need. There’s one restaurant nearby, the food was just okay. I didn’t use any other amenities. I didn’t have any cell or internet (T-Mobile).
