West Eagle Campground is a Forest Service site in the Eagle Lake Ranger District of Lassen National Forest, part of the Eagle Lake Recreation Area in northeastern California. It sits among a network of lakes, streams and wilderness areas, with plenty of recreation within easy reach. The campground has flush toilets, and a fee is charged for stays. Summer is the warmest stretch, with typical July highs around 88°F and lows near 53°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Susanville. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Eagle campground is just 0.2 miles away, and Gallatin Marina offers lake fishing about 0.8 miles off. The Gallatin hike starts about half a mile away, and the Eagle Lake South Shore hike is roughly 1.2 miles from the site.
