This place is gorgeous. Great for fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, relaxing, bird watching, and hiking. Clean restrooms, friendly people. We saw an eagle, pelican, and an osprey.
Haystack is a great place to camp and have a wonderful weekend. Or however long your stay is for. The camp Host is very kind and helpful. The restrooms are always very clean. We will be back again and again..
An irrigation reservoir stocked with fish - motorboat friendly (when water levels aren't too low). Beautiful views with interesting geological features in the landscape.
Caught four fish that were 16 inches, kept two released two. Had lots of bites. Great time
Lovely, clean campgrounds with big parking spaces, fire pits, and picnic benches all right by the water. Great place to see ospreys, pelicans, swallows, and nighthawks. Vault bathrooms so no showers, but wasn’t expecting any. Campground host was really friendly and helpful.
We had a great stay at this campground, but the real standout was the camp host, Bob. He was absolutely fantastic—so kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Whether it was offering tips on the best nearby trails, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, or just sharing a friendly conversation, Bob made the experience feel extra special. It’s rare to meet someone who clearly cares so much about making campers feel comfortable and cared for. The campground itself was clean and peaceful, but Bob truly made it memorable. We’ll definitely be back—and hope he’s still hosting!
