Hayward Flat Campground

Just camped there this weekend...The water level is very high this year and the campground is in great shape. Huge campsites and a great 1960's Forest Service vibe. Perfect beach for stargazing with lots to do in the area...marinas, day hikes to lots of alpine lakes, burgers and ice cream! 5 stars!!!

I’ve been staying at Trinity’s various campgrounds since the mid 90’s. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and how well kempt the sites are here. I read about complaints in previous years of the disorder of Hayward Flat, not the case this year. A lot of work has been put in to improve the site this season.

Nice campground, the only thing is the lake is low rn. It's still deep enough to swim in, just kinda mucky until you get towards the middle of the lake. Also FYI cicadas are out rn so if you book now as of July 1, 2021 expect the buzzing noise of cicadas while you camp. If you have Verizon you will have cell service. T-mobile and AT&T will have no service, but can get random spots of service if you hike down the right side of the lake (mind you, it will not be for long just long enough to get inundated with missed notifications lol). Even with the cicadas and the low lake it was still an enjoyable camping trip for my friends and I, you also can't beat the senery. However, you can see the lake from the campgrounds but because it's low you do have to walk down to get to it. So if your needing super easy access to the lake this campsite may not be for you. Showers are located at bushytale campground near by. The camp host wasn't really present, but they had a cop that would come by and do rounds at around 6 to make sure everything was in order. We registered online, but it looks like if you don't register online then it's a self check in at the front of the campground.

Great campsites with easy acceess to the trinity lake. Well mainted and clean washrooms.

Love this place! Such a nice lake, with hikes all around.

Excellent campground, great fishing.

Well maintained campground

Muy bonito lugar

Bathroom was closed on the elderberry loop. Water is super low and hard to get too from the camp just a fiy 😊

Beautiful campground. Clean bathrooms, spacious sights. The lake is great for kayaking and swimming. They would benefit from a campground host because there was one camp that played music excessively loud at all hours, early and late - and allowed their dogs to bark out of control. The only negative - but significant because the woke me up and kept me awake nearly every day of the 5 days we were here. Might reconsider coming back with not host to
Keep it nice for all the campers.

Clean camp sites with flushing outhouses. Walking distance from Lake Trinity. Great place if you like the great outdoors.
