What campers say

Hayward Flat is a family-friendly Forest Service campground with large sites, a vintage vibe and direct access to a quiet arm of Trinity Lake for kayaking, fishing, boating and stargazing. Water levels vary by season, so boat access and swimming can be excellent at times and limited or murky at others; some sites sit higher above the shore making mooring difficult for larger boats. Restroom maintenance is inconsistent—many find facilities clean while others report occasional closures or clogs; there are no on‑site showers and nearby paid showers are about a 15‑minute drive. Cell service is spotty (Verizon tends to work best); bring supplies and plan to be self-reliant.
