Hayward Flat Campground

Nicole Hartman

Family friendly campground on a quiet arm of Trinity Lake. Easy to navigate if checking in late. Beach is a bit rocky, bring sandals. Can walk in to swim, better when the lake is having a fuller season. Bigger boats may have a difficult time getting up this arm when lake is shallow, but I saw a few speed boats and kayaks moored here in May. My only feedback -1 star because this is the 2nd time the bathrooms clogged on day 2 of our stay. There are usually others to go to just a few feet away but plumbing is sensitive here. Also closest showers are about 15 mins away at Camp Bushytail, for a $5 fee collected by envelope.

Hayward Flat continues to be a wonderful Forest Service family campground on the edge of lake Trinity with large campsites, access to the lake for boating, water sports, fishing and swimming. All in the history-rich gold mining region in Northern California complete with local stores, restaurants, marinas and everything you need to have a great time. I'll append some example campsite photos taken just before Memorial Day. It's a large campground so there's always room.

Stayed here on 7/19-7/20. The campground is well accessible. Beautiful place. A lot of wasps in the elderberry loop site 87 and around. We left in one night instead of 2 that we planned to stay. Lake is disappointing unless you have a kayak/speedboat. Water is murky so swimming is risky. Restrooms are close by and sufficiently clean. There’s a tap to wash utensil’s outside restroom. There are no showers. No shops within 20 mins. The nearest shop’s at Trinity centre and another at a KOA campsite. No ranger to be seen in our stay, so pretty much on your own. Ps: download offline maps in advance if you are using tmobile because there is no service in area.
