Medicine Campground

Really nice campsite. Not a lot of people are there most of the year. Lake is relatively warm, Los is hiking and biking, and stars are amazing at night.

My son stayed out in the water all day. He had so much fun he didn't wanna get out. Beautiful scenery! Didn't know what the gold-lookin stuff was in the water, turns out it was pollen, a whole bunch. But the kids didn't mind. Also, not part of the campground, but the road 2 get there r horrible & need repair & maintainence!

Below are photos I took in July 2019 of the campsites that were reservable for this campground (both Medicine and Hogue) for those who would like to make a reservation. I had been to this campground in 2013 for a week and thought it was one of the best campgrounds in the State of California. Sadly, in 2019 the Forest (dis)Service was continuing to take in a lot of money in camping fees but not using any of it to have the outhouses pumped, cleaned, restocked with toilet paper, etc. The money was going somewhere else. The outhouses were nearly full to the brim and the only toilet paper to be had for several days would be used toilet paper just a foot below the toilet seat. They were not calling the company in Redding that pumps these clean. That company has a long-term 48-hour response

Beautiful campground and lake, we swam, fished and hiked nearby at Glass Mountain and Lava Bed National Monument. We love this place!

Stayed in site 51 at AH Hogue campground in a 25 ft trailer. It was after labor day so the camp ground was quiet. There are plenty of bathrooms (pit) water fill areas, and dumpsters. There is also a dump station outside the park entrance. Enjoyed the local walk, lots of firewood to gather. Took a drive up to lava bed national monument. Unfortunately the area all burned so it was not as enjoyable as I hoped. Would definitely stay again.
