"On-site host sells firewood for $10/bundle. Coin operated hot showers for $0.50 to start the shower for 2 min, $0.25 to add minutes up to a 12 min max."
"A well run campground with newer bathroom and shower blocks. The rangers were delightful and the camp host was kind and helpful."
$10 / night
"unfortunately, fire season can take its toll and the whole river valley will be covered in smoke. we try to go earlier in the summer to avoid the risk when possible."
"There is access to the stream which has a nice swimming hole, if you don’t mind the cold. The campground is quite with absolutely no cell service, which is great if that’s what you are looking for."
"Weather was perfect and the lake water level was great. It’s got a great beach area for kids to swim and play. Full of huge trout"
"The lake, however, is kind of meh. I'd definitely go back but this time I'd plan some other day trips to other bodies of water."
$40 - $70 / night
"We are traveling in a truck bed camper and got one of the last "Mesa" spots up on the hill."
"The hosts are friendly and fun, the facilities are well maintained and there are perks like showers and laundry machines. My only complaint is that it is loud."
$31 - $77 / night
"Other amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, a volleyball court, day use area, riverside trail, and green-way paved trail through the park.
My overall impression of the Park was great!"
"Our GPS wanted to take us up to Exit 48 on I-5N, but we followed the website instructions and the State Park signs off I-5 and took Exit 45B."
$20 - $30 / night
"I suggest driving around first before picking a spot as some are better than others. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit and there were water spigots throughout the park."
"Flush toilets, fire pit, and picnic tables. I got site 30 which was right next to the exit so a good amount of traffic but otherwise an amazing site in the trees!"
"We just finished a backpacking trip in marble valley and sky high lakes area, both accessible about 5+ miles from the Lovers Camp Trailhead. It was absolutely beautiful!"
$60 - $95 / night
"I've never been to land more beautiful than this place - as soon as I arrived, I felt a sense of arriving home. A place to completely relax."
"Great for kids with a river on site nearby. One part of the river is designated as a nudist-friendly beach but is well-marked. Several showers and compost toilets available and picnic tables."
"Really cool Tipi! A bit more secluded from the RVs and trailers. Surprisingly enough I booked through air b n b!"
$20 - $35 / night
"we love coming to lake selmac to use the yurts for winter camping. theyre heated and cozy. weve probably camped here a half dozen times or so over the past couple years, including standard tent sites."
"Clean bathrooms and good hiking."
GuideThis review is for the open camping.
I arrived and after looking around for a long while for someone, I was given a quick pointing out of where everything generally was. A map or better signage is sorely needed.
The grounds were peaceful. There are open-air showers, a community kitchen, sauna and swimming hole. The mini A-frames and dome look very cool, even from a distance.
I tried out the sauna. It didn’t seem to be working for over 40 minutes. No one was around to troubleshoot. It just started working eventually on its own and was nice, relaxing.
ScoutPlan to keep your pets at home if you want to stay in the domes or bell tent. As another reviewer noted, the grounds have seen better days. I guess that's how they keep camping prices so low. 3 stars because of the hot springs---better as a day trip and not a place to stay
TravelerWe tent camped on a platform for two days. Not my cup of tea, but a compromise for my teenager. The spaces are tight together. The platform is huge. The fire pit for tent site 5 is right next to where you park parallel to your site. The bathrooms are cleaned twice daily, just be ready to flush. The park has sensitive toilets. We didn't use the showers as there was a line frequently. Although this place is right on the highway the noise is not too noticeable and quiet later in the evening. The gazebo with a sink and running water was a nice touch, sitting right next to a cute pond. Cell service for Verizon was spotty in the park but worked at the mini Mart. The wifi does work but not when everyone is in there campsites using it.
The location of this park is absolutely perfect. The redwoods are right down the road. Crescent City is super close for beach adventures. A short drive up the road for a river day. The cherry on top is the mini Mart at the entrance for ice and other items.
Would definitely stay here again.
GuideGood spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees
TravelerKamp Klamath is within walking distance to the mouth of the Klamath River and centrally located within the Redwood region. The campground is very rustic, clean, very basic, and quiet. Laundry room is actually located inside a tin shed. Small store for basic supplies. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. During the summer months they offer a weekly meal event at their pavilion. Management was very friendly and accommodating.
ScoutWe are traveling in a truck bed camper and got one of the last "Mesa" spots up on the hill. This was a nice area where the bigger RVs park, but because of that, there are no bathrooms, so it was a long walk to the new, very clean, bathrooms by the office. It was a VERY long walk to the one shower building, which is in reasonable shape.
There are a lot of campgrounds here, but this seems to be the furthest from the 101. Another CG had a nice view of the river but I would stay here again.
Ps, bring your own firewood... It is crazy expensive, wet, and had thick bark. I joked that it was a "smoke generator", not a fire pit.
GuideAs spontaneous travelers, we tend not to reserve spots in advance and seek first come campgrounds which county parks tend to be. We don't need nor desire all the cozy amenities of "resort" campgrounds so county parks are some of our favorite places to stop if we aren't boondocking. Florence Keller ranks on the low end of the county parks we've stayed in but was good enough for an overnight stay.
This campground is well-loved and it shows. Be sure to go through all the loops. We almost missed the one we ended up in (by the playground) and it wasn't crowded and was quieter (at night when the playground wasn't being used) since it was away from the highway noise.
GuideThis campground has been awesome. The hosts are friendly and fun, the facilities are well maintained and there are perks like showers and laundry machines. My only complaint is that it is loud. There are quiet hours but the campground hosts aren’t very intent on holding campers to them. Given the fact that this site is so family friendly, noise is less of a concern for those who camp here. If you aren’t worried about noise, this is a great spot but if you prefer being remote when camping, I would look somewhere else first,
GuideCash or check only, $35/night. On-site host sells firewood for $10/bundle. Coin operated hot showers for $0.50 to start the shower for 2 min, $0.25 to add minutes up to a 12 min max.
Each campsite had a fire ring, a picnic table, and a bearbox. There were several running water bathroom buildings around the campgrounds.
The spots near the river were filled by the time we got there but there was a small path to get down there and it was gorgeous. The forest growth was beautiful and it was nice and quiet at night. Over 100 campsites to choose from and it was nicely maintained. Would love to stay here again!
