Hemlock Campground

Where the Modoc Plateau meets Medicine Lake, Hemlock Campground sits within Modoc National Forest at an elevation that keeps it accessible from May through October. The US Forest Service maintains this lakeside location with standard amenities including drinking water, restrooms, and a dump station for RVs.

Sites accommodate both tents and RVs, with picnic tables and fire rings at each spot. The campground allows pets and provides trash service throughout the season. Campers can explore nearby A.H Hogue Campground and Medicine Lake Recreation Area within walking distance. The location works well for anglers and those seeking lake access in the high desert country of northeastern California.
