Overview

Eagle Campground is located in the Eagle Lake Recreation Area of the Lassen National Forest. This recreation area has five campgrounds, three designated day use areas and a marina on the south shore of Eagle Lake. All of these recreation facilities are connected by a 5.2 mile paved hiking/bike trail. The Osprey Overlook, another day use area in the recreation area, can be hiked or driven to for a scenic view of the southern end of Eagle Lake and the surrounding forest basin.

The Lassen National Forest offers a variety of lakes, streams and wilderness areas for recreational opportunities. The forest offers miles of trails that are used for hiking, mountain biking, off-highway vehicle riding and in the winter months, snowmobiling.

Recreation

Fishing for the Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout, a California Heritage Trout, is the primary recreational activity on Eagle Lake, but the 3rd largest natural lake in California (22,000 acres), provides for plenty of room for swimming, kayaking, skiing and all other boating activities by motor or sail. There are no 2-cycle restrictions for outboard boat motors or PWCs.

Facilities

Within Eagle Lake Recreation Area, Eagle Campground is the closest campground to the marina/boat launch that offers RV/trailer camping sites. Eagle’s other distinction is its location in an exceptional stand of tall pines. There are 30 reservation sites, 20 walk-in sites, two small group sites and two sites that have electric and water hook-ups.

Each site is equipped with a paved parking spur (except #50/gravel), table and campfire ring/grill.

An RV Dump Station Facility is conveniently located about 2.5 miles away with a dump fee.

The paved bike path is connected to this campground. The Eagle Lake Marina store with gas, propane, fishing and camping supplies, shower and laundry facilities and the boat launch is located about one mile from the campground.

Natural Features

Eagle Lake is located where the Sierras meet the Cascades at the southwestern end of the lake, and the Modoc Plateau of the Great Basin at the northeastern end. This unique location offers diverse landscapes, geology, wildlife and vegetation.

Camp site was spacious and beautiful amongst the trees. Location to the lake was a short walk or bike ride. Many places to explore on foot, bike or vehicle near by.

Great camp site in very cool location. Fire pits, clean bathrooms, trash bins on site. Even had a designated fish trash bin which came in handy for the trout we caught from Eagle Lake. Would recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the Lassen forest area, and not too far from the National Park either.

Beautiful campground, well kept up. Lots of space between camp sites. Only 1/2 hour from Susanville; boat dock is minutes away. Very clean bathrooms with flush toilets. Campground host was super nice - they rode around the sites several times a day.

The host was very nice and helpful. The lake was low and with alot of vegetation noted close to shore. It was not good for canoeing, which is why I chose this spot. The campground was very nice and cool at night. It really was my fault for not researching the lake better before my trip. The road up to the campground from Susanville is tedious and long. Some may find it to be too long. Just my honest opinion.
