PG&E operates Madesi Campground along the Pit River, accessible by both road and water. The facility sits at the end of a winding route that transitions from pavement to gravel as it approaches the river. An ADA-compliant fishing platform extends over the water, making this spot popular with boaters and kayakers using it as a launch point.
The campground features vault toilets and allows both pets and alcohol. Campers often find themselves alone at this utility company site, which serves as a quiet base for exploring the Big Bend area. The combination of road and boat access makes it versatile for different camping styles, from car camping to paddling adventures along the Pit River system.
