Tree Of Heaven Campground

Best stop off hwy 5, Northern California  during the hot summer months . the river is refreshing .

Lovely campground next to the Klamath River. Sites were fairly large and private. Not RV friendly but great for tents. Water available. Clean pit toilets. Campground is slightly close to road but not annoyingly so. Limited hiking from campground.

During the day it was busy as it is a key location for 1/2 day rafting trips on the Klamath. We weren't rafting but did enjoy the cool water. Didn't seem to be much in the way of activity to do if you weren't rafting. Trails in the area were very short. In the evening it cooled off and got nice and quiet. Sites were large. Hosts were friendly. Toilets were cleaned daily and not overly odorous. Great access to the i5 if you are travelling. The site we were on had limited shade.

We were looking for something about halfway between SF and Portland. This was a convenient spot since it's close enough to the Oregon border, located close to Yreka and just far enough off the 1-5 to make you feel like you're off the beaten path. The camp is right on the Klamath! It's a pretty typical campground. Good tree cover but not a lot of privacy between spots. It served the purpose we needed and would consider using it again for pitstops, but nothing so special that I'd go out of my way to spend several days there unless you planned on finding river access to play in the Klamath.

This is a beautiful campsite, spacious spots for tents and RV. Camp host was very cool. Lots of things to do swimming fishing hiking. Very quiet. Loved this place, definitely coming back here!

We visited here while driving south on the I-5. It was far enough off the highway to be peaceful and in beautiful Klamath National Forest. The campsite was clean and as we were there on a Monday evening we had the place nearly to ourselves, though some other folks we talked to said nearly all of the 20+ sites had been full over the weekend. The bathrooms were alright as drop toilets go, not very nice to be downwind of but what can you do. There was what looked like a nice little place to swim in the Klamath river and someone had left plenty of firewood around the sites, so we were happy. I would recommend stopping off in Yreka for food and things before heading into the camp as the campsite is pretty far removed from anything else. The road down is a little steep and winding, but not an issue for the 2013 Subaru Outback. We reserved a site online with no issue and didn’t have any problem claiming it. Would stay here again.

We stopped here on a road trip along Interstate 5. The location was conveniently close to the freeway, but still felt like a real campsite instead of traveler's stop. We couldn't hear the freeway and it had nice amenities like flush toilets. Our site was also pretty shady, which was nice in summer. It was pretty scenic; we were located just by a walking path and with a view of the river, however, the camp host did not enforce quiet hours. The large group next to us was extremely drunk and noisy and nobody ever stopped by. They took off the next morning (loudly exclaiming that they needed to pack up to avoid paying), so there was likely never an interaction with the host. We arrived late and couldn't leave to alert the host as it didn't feel safe to do so. I'm not sure where the host is situated in relation to where we were, but I suspect you could hear the party throughout the camp, throughout the night, so we were surprised that no action was taken. It didn't feel safe.

Named for a unique tree that grows here, Tree of Heaven Campground is a sweet little spot. I had tent site right on the river and nearly had the place to myself. Basically it’s set up as a loop with a large grassy area and restrooms in the middle, and a put in spot for rafters up near the larger beach. Peak summer months are very warm and ticks are plentiful, especially in the grassy areas.

Great camping area, multiple clean restrooms located close to the camp sites. Free firewood and great river access.

Not sure this was the exact Campground we ended up in but HWY 96 has loads of free camping along the river. Not terribly clean and extremely hot in August but it's there at least...

Small campground with river access. Open campsites, set in a canyon. No great hiking options from the campground, but easy access to the river make it a good spot for a hot summer's day.
