Perfect night for free !

This was the perfect spot to rest for a night. We arrived rather late and there was only one RV already there. There are plenty spots so we had our privacy, toilets were clean and it’s next to a road but there isn’t much traffic. Really calm and nice!

A good quick stop to sleep for free

This is a small area, surrounded by a few trees and low rolling hills. It does have put toilets, and is a good dry camp while on the way somewhere else.

Cowboy Camp!

First off of your looking for this spot it is COWBOY CAMP! The directions take you 8 miles away to campground you have to pay for. We stopped here on our way home from Mt. Shasta. It was very quiet. Bathrooms were clean. There were 4 other people pulled over for the night. Plenty of space for everyone.

Free, beautiful, not too busy

BLM land, can camp anywhere >500 feet from the parking lot. The site in in a valley between a small creek (that runs right next to the roadway) and a small mountain “range” on the opposing side. We were the only tent campers there on Friday and one additional camper came Sat. Bring lots of bug spray and watch for ticks but super worth it especially if you’re local

What could I say.

I mean We have been going to this campground for 21 years now, every year is a different experience, meaning the camp hosts, they can make it a great experience or not, besides that it’s a beautiful campground to stay, it has plenty of campground shade running water in bathrooms, has coin showers and dish washing station. The days are hot nights cool off enough to sleep comfortably. On a side note if your favorite spot reserve in February for the summer months.

COWBOY CAMP

Camped mid-May 2018. Mostly dry land/brush. Prickers everywhere. Tall grass, ticks, black widows, lizards, rattles and gardner snakes. 14-day BLM campground literally 5 minutes down the road from CalFire. Four toilets. No water, just creek running between campground and hills. Have to use horse or find low section and pile rocks as a ‘bridge’ to cross for hiking. Fire pits and horse poles. Mostly quiet unless a big rig drives by on the highway or people loudly pull off HWY 16 to use the toilet. Great spot to semi-rough it.
