Happy Camp Campground

Off-highway vehicle trails wind through the forest surrounding Happy Camp Campground, bringing engine sounds during morning and afternoon hours. This US Forest Service campground in Six Rivers National Forest accommodates RVs with full hookups and tent campers alike, offering multiple access options including drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in sites.

Each site includes a fire pit and picnic table, with pit toilets serving the camping area. The campground provides drinking water, showers, and a dump station for RV travelers. Electric, water, and sewer hookups are available for those needing full services. Pets are welcome throughout the property.

April C. noted the campground's proximity to trails and found "plenty of open spots" during her visit. The location serves as a base for exploring the surrounding national forest, with Groves Prairie Dispersed Camp located 2.9 miles north for those seeking a more primitive experience. Reservations are accepted, though walk-up sites may be available depending on season and demand.

The campground sits within reach of both developed and dispersed camping options, making it suitable for groups with varying comfort preferences.

Great stop over

Close to trails. Found this by exploring the area and stopped in to sleep. Plenty of open spots. I will come back.

Free camping with OHV trails nearby

Great sites west of Eureka and Redwood National Park. There are OHV trails nearby so expect some noise throughout the morning and afternoon. Pit toilets are available and fire pits and picnic tables are available at each site.
