BLM's Eagle Lake Field Office manages North Eagle Lake Campground, a drive-in facility that operates from May through November along Highway 139. This established campground sits on higher ground away from Eagle Lake itself, offering both pull-through and standard sites that can accommodate everything from tents to Class A RVs.
The campground stands out for its exceptionally maintained facilities. Multiple reviewers emphasize the cleanliness of the vault toilets, which feature hand sanitizer, air fresheners, and even magazines. Lisa calls them the "cleanest vault toilets ever" and notes the camp host's dedication to maintaining high standards. Water spigots are distributed throughout the campground, and recent improvements include three new vault toilets and updated entrance signage.
Sites offer varying degrees of tree coverage, with some providing distant lake views. The location creates easy highway access but generates some road noise during daytime hours, though nights remain quiet. Eagle Lake itself draws anglers targeting the area's famous Eagle Lake trout, which grow to substantial sizes in these alkaline waters.
Campers seeking lakefront access might prefer Mariner's Resort or Eagle Lake Resort, both located closer to the water's edge.
