Ashland, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is announcing temporary closures, starting in late May 2019, to the Hyatt Lake Campground.

A 1960s-era electrical line will be replaced to restore operation of sewage treatment and water facilities at the campground. To ensure public safety while this work is being done, campsites in Loops A and B will be temporarily closed. Campsites in Loop C and Wildcat will remain open. Hyatt Lake’s boat ramps, day use area, group campsites, and group picnic shelter will also remain open. Portable toilets and hand-washing stations will be available at the campground during the construction period. Loop A and B campsites will be reopened as soon as construction is complete.

Campers and visitors should plan accordingly.  Regular updates on this project will be published to:

Nestled in the Cascade Mountains in the northern corner of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, the 745-acre Hyatt Lake Recreation Area provides opportunities for camping, hiking, fishing, and boating. Reservations are required for Hyatt Lake Campground (there are no first-come, first-serve campsites available).

Day-use is on a first-come, first-served basis and permits may be obtained at the self-service pay stations located at the main campground entrance and Wildcat Campground. Main campground opens at the end of May and closes right after Labor Day. Wildcat opens at the end of May and closes first of October, weather dependent. A 14-day camping limit within a 90-day period is in effect for all campgrounds.  Additional information about the Hyatt Lake is available at:
