Eagle 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 includes five campgrounds, three day use areas and a marina on the south shore of Eagle Lake, all linked by a 5.2-mile paved hiking and biking trail. The Osprey Overlook, a day use area, offers a scenic view of the southern end of the lake and the surrounding forest basin. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Susanville show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 80°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Vault toilets are the only facility listed. A fee is charged for recreation at the site. West Eagle campground is just 0.2 miles away, and Gallatin Marina is 0.7 miles off. Aspen Grove campground and the Gallatin hike are both within a mile.
