Hyatt Lake Recreation Area

Pleasant, forested campground in the Cascade-Syskiyou National Monument. The camp host was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were very clean and had running water, toilets and showers. A PCT campsite was nearby and I was able to chat with a couple of through-hikers and I hiked along the PCT. The lake level was down due to the drought and this was unfortunate. A beautiful area.

Great stay, only 3 campers in the whole place. Peacefully quiet & open sky!

I reserved a spot at Hyatt Lake, but later learned that the reservoir has algae blooms and possible cyanotoxins. No swimming and no dogs in the water.
It was too late to cancel without penalty, but we wanted to cancel anyway so the spot would show available to others. I'd like to see:
1) A cancel button even if the entire fee is forfeited, and
2) A notification of health or other conditions that might affect a stay.

Sorry I don't have anything to stay about the actual lake since we didn't stay there!

Some of the cleanest bathrooms I have experienced at a campground. The sites were nice, some were a bit small. It is clear that the hosts put a great deal of effort into maintaining a nice campground. The RV dump station was very well designed.

Not crowded. Great Lake view. Quiet and well maintained. Clean bathroom and hot shower.

Had a wonderful time. The campground was clean and the Host was friendly and very helpful. Great campground!

The horse camp itself proved to be very dry challenging. Upon arrival we drove up to a locked gate. Nowhere on recreation.gov did it mention a gate or a lock or code number. We barely had any cell service at all, but fortunately we’re able to make a call to a local Ranger station (after googling the phone number as it was not provided on the gate).
Upon driving into camp, there are no level sites for trailers. We had to be very creative in determining how we parked the three rigs.
We were aware that there is no potable water at camp, but there is potable water at the adjacent camp about a quarter a mile away. We did take hoses and a pump to pump water out of the lake for the horses. After setting all of this up the friendly camp host came over and in casual conversation mentioned that there was a blue algae issue in lake and that kids and pets had been getting sick from ingesting water.
We then drove to adjacent camp to find out that The hand pump on the water well was extremely difficult to use and that there was no hose threads on the pump to pump the water into our 35 gallon tanks in the back of our truck. This meant we had to hand pump into a bucket and then put our battery operated pump in the bucket to push water through the hose up into our truck bed. If it sounds challenging, it was!!
On a positive note, David and Vikki, the camp hosts were absolutely wonderful!!! it was also lovely to watch the bald eagle and the osprey dive for fish in the lake every evening while lounging in our chairs. Trails are limited as it’s an out and back on the PCT so you see the same thing each ride. Elevation and temperature were nice. Will not likely return there but all and all we managed to have a great trip with a group of friends!

Didn’t even stay there. Went to Howard’s Prairie instead! I called the day prior to my reservation and confirmed that fires were good to use if in a designated pit…get all the way there and the fire pits are chained up. Out of almost $40 and honestly would like a refund!!

Great Lake even if the water was very low. Great camping spot. Have to say getting to this park with a trailer caused concern. Everyone said to not use OR 66 and for good reason. We decided to come a longer way through Klamath falls. Having flush toilets and showers is a plus for a BLM park

Still our favorite annual camp. This year there was a full outhouse and the pumper was delayed -one star less than excellent. Lake water level matters.
