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.

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 hosts were more than welcoming, as well kept the grounds in amazing condition, restrooms included. Nature was against as far as not much water in the lake and fire danger not allowing campfires, was able to still enjoy ourselves. Even took the wife and kids hiking on part of the PCT. Will be camping here again in the future.

Had the cg almost to myself. Camp hosts stopped by to check in. They were gracious and lovely. Site and grounds well maintained. Sadly, the lake is almost non-existent now. Water was down to 2% capacity.

Very nice location, even with the lakebed almost entirely dry. Good birding - bluebirds ( both kinds), bald eagle, pine siskins. Bring yellowjacket trap.

I stayed at Wildcat campground. The site was very clean and the host had used a weed eater to knock down the grass around the campsite. The camphost were very friendly. The day before I left I mentioned to the camp host I had to go to Another lake to dump cause the gates were locked going to the dump at Hyatt. He asked me what time in the morning would I need the gates open so I could dump my tanks. I thought that was great and couldn’t thank him enough. The BLM employees and the Rangers are great at Hyatt too.
