Go if

Big-rig RV owners get the most from this place: paved pull-throughs handle rigs up to 45 feet, water and electric are on-site, and fall mornings on the lake with binoculars pointed at Mount Graham are genuinely good.

Skip if

Sites are close together and the campground has no tent spots, no sewer hookups, and no pets allowed, plus summer heat at this desert elevation makes it a rough choice from June through August.

About Lewiston National Recreation Area

Context for the broader area surrounding Hacienda Campground, sourced from the federal Recreation.gov rec-area record.

<A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=169">Lewiston Dam</a>, <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=506">Central Valley Project - Shasta/Trinity Division</a>, is about 7 miles downstream from <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=266">Trinity Dam</a>. It diverts water by means of Clear Creek Tunnel to Whiskeytown Lake. The dam is 91 feet high and 745 feet long. The Trinity River Fish Hatchery, operated by the California Department of Fish and Game, has a capacity of about 40 million eggs. It is immediately downstream from Lewiston Dam and compensates for the upstream spawning area that has been rendered inaccessible and unusable by the dams. Lewiston Lake is more like a large, cold, slow-moving river with a large population of trout. Rainbow trout range from 8 to 18 inches, 12- to 14-inch average. The German brown average over 20 inches. Effective flies either cast from a drift boat or trolled slowly. Productive slow trolling. Shore fishing produces both varieties of trout.
