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 5,000 feet 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.

I want to give a 5 star to the camphosts that take care of the Wildcat campground. The camphosts do a great job and are very helpful and friendly. The restrooms are always very clean and always equipped with plenty of toilet paper. The actual campsites are always picked up and clean after the campers leave that campsite by the camphosts.
It’s sad that they drain this lake 24/7. But I still love coming out here to Haytt Lake at Wildcat campground. There are still plenty of wildlife to sit back and watch. It is very quite and most people obey the rules. It is usually about 20 degrees cooler than the Medford area.

The obvious is that the reservoir is practically nonexistent, but other than that Mrs. Lincoln, the campground is great. The campground only had a few campers, so it was super quiet. The hosts were great. The bathrooms were super clean. We had a really nice stay. Great place if you are looking to get away and do some nice hiking, the PCT is at the entrance of the park.

The lake was basically dry when we visited, but if you are looking for a quiet, scenic camp site, this is a great choice.

Wildcat has great sites away from the main campgrounds. I didn’t mind that there was no water at this location in August 2022 because the CG was almost empty AND it was easy to keep myself occupied.

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
