Reservations are available at Oak Bottom Campground, a US Forest Service site in Klamath National Forest running from mid-April through late October.

Campers report consistently clean restrooms, well-stocked supplies, and regularly emptied trash. The campground works well for groups, anglers, and paddlers looking at places to camp near Klamath National Forest, with ONeil Creek Campground just to the northeast.
Description
Oak Bottom Campground is located on a gently sloping hillside in a mixed Douglas fir and hardwood forest. It offers a peaceful environment, free from road noise and other distractions. Located near the California Salmon River, the campground is popular with whitewater enthusiasts in the spring. Many challenging rapids ranging from class 3 to 5 are a short distance away. Swimming is also popular in the summer and numerous river accesses are a short drive or walk from the campground. In the fall salmon and steelhead fishing in the Klamath River are within a 15 minute drive. The small town of Somes Bar is 2.5 miles from the campground where propane, groceries, post office and tackle are available at the store. This is not the Oak Bottom CG at Whiskeytown Reservoir.
