North Eagle Lake Campground

North Eagle Lake Campground, near Susanville, California, is a solid spot for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors without too much fuss. With a mix of tent and RV sites, it’s a straightforward place to set up camp and unwind.

The campground is known for its cleanliness, with visitors frequently praising the well-maintained bathrooms and the friendly camp host who takes pride in keeping everything tidy. Water spigots are conveniently scattered throughout, making it easy to stay hydrated during your stay. One camper even remarked, “Did I say cleanest vault toilets ever?” which says a lot about the facilities here.

If you’re into fishing, you’re in luck! Eagle Lake is famous for its trout, and many campers recommend getting out on the water early in the morning before the wind picks up.

Just keep in mind that some sites might have a distant view of the water, so if you’re after a lakeside experience, you might want to explore a bit further.

Right along highway

Sites were not completely level but workable. Looked like homeless folks might have lived there at some point. We made camp 1 night before headed on towards Oregon.

Great place

I’ve never seen cleaner pit toilets Lisa said it all almost. The toilet also have a side table with magazines. We had a good site with a distant lake view. Easy in and out. Can’t beat it for a short overnight stay. The hosts are to be commended.

Looking forward to a return visit

We originally went to the dispersed campground down a very bumpy road but that area was a dirt parking lot, extremely exposed and unappealing so we headed back North Eagle Lake for an overnight stay. 

  • Cleanest sites and bathrooms you'll ever experience 
  • Water spigots conveniently located throughout 
  • Friendly camp host (she took immense pride in maintaining the sites and bathrooms) 
  • Tree coverage was great (we hit this on an exceptionally warm fall day) 
  • Some road noise from Hwy 136 but quiet at night 
  • Did I say cleanest vault toilets ever? There was hand sanitizer, air freshener, waste baskets and holiday decorations in each one to make them "homey.

It appears some upgrades have been done since one of the earlier reviews as there were 3 new vault toilets and a new entrance sign. Not sure why that review said there were no trees as we had plenty of them as did many of the other campsites. There were multiple vans, a Class A, tents and a tear drop so this campground can accommodate all rig sizes. 

We'd definitely stay here again.

Close to the Highway

Of all the campgrounds at Eagle Lake this is the least appealing. It sits quite far from the lake on a dry, dusty hill. There is one pit toilet bathroom and there is less shade with less trees. It does have the advantage of being very close to highway 139 and would be a good spot to stop for the night.

Like Fishing?

Eagle Lake is known for its “Eagle Lake Trout” and they get big! The lake itself can get choppy in the afternoon but get out and fish in the morning. The campground facilities here are complete and clean. They have a general store that has everything you could ask for, a little of everything and the staff is friendly and very helpful! The location is great if you like to explore things like lava beds, ice caves and wildlife!
