Elevation5100 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryTall pines and firs shade most sites, creating a forest canopy above the campground. The location sits where three landscapes meet: the Sierra Nevada to the southwest, the Cascade Range to the west, and the Modoc Plateau high desert stretching northeast. Views from this elevation take in the surrounding mountains and the lake below. Eagle Lake itself occupies this geological crossroads, with mountain forests transitioning to Great Basin terrain along its shores.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo hotel-style lodges or other accommodations are available at Eagle Campground. However, there are cabins and other facilities in the broader Eagle Lake Recreation Area.
