Aspen Campground is a Forest Service site in the Eagle Lake Recreation Area of the Lassen National Forest, within the Eagle Lake Ranger District. The recreation area holds five campgrounds, three day use areas and a marina on the south shore of Eagle Lake. These are linked by a 5.2-mile paved hiking and biking trail, and the Osprey Overlook, a day use area, offers a scenic view of the southern end of the lake and the surrounding forest basin. Vault toilets are the only listed amenity. A fee is charged for stays. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Susanville show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 80°F, with July and August peaking near 88°F. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. The Eagle Lake South Shore hike starts just 0.3 miles away, and the Gallatin hike and Gallatin Marina are both within half a mile. Eagle campground is about 0.7 miles off.
