Kyen Campground

This is the worst campground I’ve ever seen. There was trash throughout the campground - including a used condom and condom wrappers in our campsite - bathrooms were dirty and had no soap, and there were several loud groups well after the posted quiet hours. We stayed one night and left early. If you’re into obnoxious parties, then this place is for you. The “potable” water is brown out of the tap.

Hot weather looking for a cool, on lake CG. We didn’t camp there. Thought we might but, instead just drove through. Day-use area close. Parking lot for boaters open. CG host said full; grounds not well maintained. Open sites with expired occupancy dates on them. Large groups with extra vehicles. Some sites looked like long term occupancy. Pleased there was no room. Don’t think would’ve been comfortable experience.

How can a State park be closed??

Not sure why day use and Camping is closed. This whole area doesn't like Campers. I suggest just going to Shasta or the Coast.

While we enjoyed our time at Kyen, I wouldn’t say that we are pointed at visiting again. This might be due to the fact that we stayed in many other incredible sites on our Ca visit

Homeless people live here but they were actually cleaner than the campers. People do not follow the rules. Many dogs off leash even after asking people nicely to leash them. Minimal presence of rangers. Has showers but they smell like pee and showers and bathrooms were very dirty. The alarm for the sewer went off and rang all day and night even when we called to report it. No mention on their website or an alert anywhere of the prisoners who would be there all day using a chainsaw and burning the wood from trees that were being trimmed. So needless to say it was not relaxing. The sites haven't been cleaned up at all and although we had a large site we had to squeeze two tents on a sloped area because the rest of the site had poison oak. Lots of poison oak throughout camp. The lake is nice with a good ramp and dock but people let their kids play on the dock and no one tells them to move for boats going in and out. A main road goes through the campground and cars fly through there. Watch your dogs, kids and yourselves! Many of the sites are along the road as well so check the map.
