Campsite List calendar starts at the next available reservation dates.
Recreation
Located near California's Salmon River, the campground is popular with whitewater enthusiasts in the spring. Many challenging rapids ranging from class 3 to 5 are available.
Swimming is also popular in the summer and numerous river access areas are a short drive or walk from the campground.
In the fall, salmon and steelhead trout fishing in the nearby Klamath River is known to be some of the best in the state. Facilities
The campground offers 25 single-family sites. Each site is equipped with a bear-resistant food storage locker, picnic table, and fire ring with grill. Some sites have vintage rock stoves as well. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A campground host may be available.
Natural Features
The campground loops around a forested hillside of mixed Douglas fir and hardwood forest at a 700-foot elevation. Large deciduous trees provide ample shading for multiple sites within the campground, and a variety of wildlife makes its home in the area. Nearby Attractions
The small town of Somes Bar is 2.5 miles from the campground. Propane, groceries, and tackle are available at a general store.
