The History and Caves & Eagles Bring Me Back!
Caution. It is very hot and dry here in the summer!!!
We go here in the spring and fall to avoid the heat. Open sparse cover campground but the regular amentiites are there - table, locker, fire ring. Flush bathrooms but no showers. First come first serve sites but I have never seen it full. Some RVs will not fit so check if you are using one.
You can also do back country camping but I have never done that here.
The best reasoen to go are the caves. There are caves of every type and every kind. Some you walk thru and others you crawl through - caves for all ages and all abilities. Try to get a reservation for the Ice Cave before you go (if you can).
We also always look at the petroglyphs and watch the raptors there.
Captain Jack's Stronghold and the Modoc history sites are fun and facinating as well.
You are a short ride from the flyway and a reserve where you can always see eagles.
You are also near the Tule Lake Japaneses Internment Camp,as well as a German POW camp. Small museuem at the fairgrounds at Tule Lake.
Lots of birding in the area and you are close to some fun sites in Oregon as well.
