Eagle Lake Recreation Area is conveniently located on the south shore of Eagle Lake just 16 miles north of Susanville, CA. Nestled in the undeveloped beauty of Lassen National Forest, it is the perfect place to get away from it all. Our full-service Marina and developed campsites keep you from having to leave the comforts of home behind.
There is nowhere else you can compete for the one-of-a-kind Eagle Lake trout with eagles and osprey, literally. Merrill is the largest campground on Eagle Lake with 173 sites and is only two miles from the Marina and Gallatin Beach. It was renovated in 2005 and now offers full and partial hook-ups, grey water dump areas and longer, wider parking spurs.

One of the most serene places I've visited. Big campsites with very tall to provide shade. Flush toilet is clean. Shower is about 3minutes away, at the Marina Store. It was $2.50 for 5mins. The Marina Store actually has a lot of stuff to purchase. We ended up buying a roll of paper towel and 2 sweatshirts for the kids. They also have air mattress repair kits. Very bad mobile phone coverage at the campsite; it was excellent at the areas of the lake where we visited.
There isn't a whole lot to do near the campsite other than relax, which is exactly what we needed. One 1 hiking trail and one paved

We rented the group site and a few other nearby sites for our family reunion. The wasps were terrible, it was far from the lake, and the camp hosts were extremely rude about parking, coming by often to yell at us for 3 vehicles being parked "wrong" in the designated parking spots. There's a nice way to tell us where to park in a group site designed for 16 people (obviously not in the designated parking spots), but they made it miserable. Two stars only because it was clean and quiet.
