Love this smaller campsite. Love the owners and helper. Been there a few times and they are so helpful. Last time there my husband needed medical care and they were right on it. ( by the way he is doing much better). We plan on being back after school starts. Lots of green grass, water and great walks. Restrooms were very well maintained as well as showers. Could use a tiny more water pressure but we could use our own. Give it a 5 all day long. See you soon

My family and I enjoy camping at Hat Creek. For one thing, the campground offers a number of amenities, such as a nice little store and a handy laundry facility. Plus, the restrooms and showers are well maintained, and they stay pretty clean as long as guests leave no trace, so to speak. Then the campsites themselves are nice. RVers can choose… either pull-through or back-into sites, complete with the necessary hookups. Tent campers can choose from grass or dirt sites. The grass sites are really nice, by the way. One of the best advantages of this campground is its proximity to a number
