Description : At an elevation of 3700 feet, this is one of two developed campgrounds on the Upper McCloud River. There are 27 sites with tables and fire rings, vault toilets, and piped drinking water. Suitable for tents and larger RV's or trailers. Double sites for large families or small groups. 14 day limit. $15 per night. No reservations. Features : The Upper McCloud River is one of the primary attractions in the area. In addition to swimming and fishing, there is 15 miles of river-side trail to explore. Cattle Camp Swimming Hole is a Day Use Area, no Camping. Please do not dam up the river with rocks, this prevents the natural flow of the McCloud River and encourages algae growth in the swimming hole when the water is low.
Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout was constructed in the 1920s and was used by the Forest Service on a regular basis until 1978. It is one of the few remaining historic lookouts in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The lookout is still used by the Forest Service in times of extreme fire danger. The lookout is accessible by car, but the last 4 miles are on unpaved roads and difficult for RVs and cars with trailers to navigate. Visitors must bring many of their own supplies. The accommodations of this lookout may be rustic, but the views guarantee that visitors will have a memorable stay.
Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout is an ideal location for sightseeing and bird watching, and it's a photographer's dream. Visitors in search of more active pursuits can drive a short distance to hike and explore the many nearby hills, clearings and caves. Medicine Lake has a day use area with a large swim beach and a boat dock.
Little Mt. Hoffman is a cinder cone on the flanks of Medicine Lake Highland, the largest identified volcano within California, which extends roughly 15 miles east to west and 25 miles north to south. Medicine Lake Highland has a caldera that is partially filled by Medicine Lake. Little Mt. Hoffman sits on the rim of this caldera at 7,309 feet, providing a panoramic view of this diverse volcanic landscape. Visitors can see a spectacular view of Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen and southern Oregon's Mt. McLoughlin. The panorama includes the Tulelake Basin to the north, the Fall River Valley in the east and the Medicine Lake Highlands to the south.
A $10.00 service fee will apply if you change or cancel your reservation. Late cancellations are subject to additional fees. For full details see NRRS Reservation Policy .

Having always wanting to , but never pulling the trigger, finally changed. OMG it was FANTASTIC!!
Easy drive, with paved roads until the very end. One receives the gate code the week prior to the reservation for the gate & door. Upon arrival you are greeted with MAGNIFICENT VISTAS 360 degrees!! Wrap-around balcony & windows!! Wee fireplace inside & a fire pit outside. 2 picnic tables. A vault toilet 20 yards away from cabin.
Don’t wait….pull the trigger!!!

The campground is fairly nice. No functional bear lockers (camp host said there haven’t been bears here in over 9 years). The bathrooms (flush toilets) were clean. Weirdly, most of the campsites were vacant, but the online reservations showed that most of the sites were booked. We had a large noisy group next to us the first night. Otherwise it was quiet. The trail to the falls (Falls Loop Trail) was closed for repairs, which we knew when we booked. Not the nicest place we’ve been but not the worst. Probably won’t stay there again.
GuideThis camp grounds was peaceful and beautiful.
Most site were very level. I stayed in #49. It was perfectly shaded. The staff is friendly, the amenities are clean.
Verizon - no coverage. I had to go to their public wifi at their visitor center.
This park has a great Dump site, multiple stations easy in/out. Also has fresh water filling station

Very nice campground
GuideThis campground was well maintained and the sites were large. Ample access to water spigots throughout the sites. Bathrooms were standard with flush toilets. A short walk to the falls made it very accessible. Would recommend driving to the lake due to the length of the walk and elevation to return back. Not much else to do in the area. There is a campground store where they also sell hot food and overpriced supplies if needed.
Guide
We drove up to this campground on May 24th and it was being cleared. The sign said campground open but there were no posters or signs on the board or slips to reserve a site and it was a ghost town. Loggers who were working to clear the sites of debris on-site said that they were going to be working for another month.
RangerHuge campground at Burney Falls park, pretty populated and always packed.
ScoutNice clean campground. I was close to the bathroom which was nice. Spacious and shaded camp spots.
TravelerI love it here. I went as a teenager with a friend of mine and her family and I have been going every 10 years since. Lol. This time was amazing. I was divorced 10 years ago so a new group of eager wonderful people who have come into my life since then we’re there to explore with me. The sound of the waterfalls is mesmerizing to me. I live the campground because that’s the sound I get to wake up to. The beauty of the Falls is indescribable. To me waterfalls were the most majestic things I’ve ever seen because my brain can’t wrap itself around its inner workings basically. For once since I was a teenager I went on the Falls Loop trail hike lto the top of the falls and back to camp which was about a 2 mile hike. It was gorgeous. The trees throughout are tall and beautiful and plenty. You won’t be disappointed if you go here. It is a 3 1/2 hour drive for me but well worth it.

We booked a quick one night stay here, passing through. We wish we had allowed more time! There were loads of walking trails, the pool looked very nice and they have beer on tap in the art garden during the weekend. The owners were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Our kids loved all the the art throughout the property and the new rock pit they'd just finished installing! The sites were very spacious and had full hookups 👍
Ranger
Good campsite nestled in the trees. Approximately 10 tent sites, 20 RV, and 15 cabins. RV are full hookup. Showers, laundry and friendly staff. Easy, close drive to Lava Beds National park
GuideFalls were gorgeous. Rum trail is an easy little walk (largely paved). Large picnic area. Not much else to do in the park but good stop if you are thru hiking the PCT.
Bathrooms were clean, flush toilets, hot showers. NO cell service. Had a little camp shop.
NOT a very dog-friendly park, didn’t even see a pet area for them to get out and potty.
ScoutBeautiful area, not far from McCloud.
ScoutThis campsite is nestled in the forest away from the highway. It has cabins, RV, and tent camping available. There is a new playground for children. When you stay, a free shower is included. The bathrooms are regular flushing toilets with showers in the room and outlets if you need to blowdry your hair. The attendant on the grounds is very nice and friendly. We arrived late (9pm) and she was able to assist us with getting settled. There is a small shop next to the office. You can also book your lot reservation online. I'll include a picture of the map of the area. For those tent camping, bring a tarp for your tent to sit on. It's a dirt, rock, and pine needles area. In the morning, you'll hear song birds.
GuideI stayed at the state park in a cabin for 2 nights ..me an my wife had a nice too good amount of trails...only few of them were closed due to a storm an fires...the falls are not even far to get too maybe 5 minute walk...worth it
Guide*playground structure
pleasant.
GuideCamped for 2 nights here. The campsite was great - good fire pit, seclusion, .3mi walk to the mccloud swimming hole with a rope swing, and bathrooms available.
GuideLake to swim and boat in, waterfall short walk, General store with everything you can imagine and firewood, close by a town where you can eat out. Junior Ranger program with iron on badge that changes every year.
TravelerSites are spread out, very clean in a nice forest. Chipmunks are cute and respectful. Very beautiful campground
GuideCampground is big and right next to gurney falls
RangerWe spent one night a Cattle Camp and enjoyed the stopover. The campground was empty compared to Fowler’s just down the road. Lots of space between sites, plenty of shade, and rather level. You can access the McCloud River trail from Camp which gave us the chance to stretch our legs and wear out the dogs. A quick jaunt down the road to access the McCloud River Falls Trail which was definitely worth the early morning visit. Can’t beat $7.50 (Senior pass) for a night in a clean, quiet campground.
ScoutWe booked a stay here to unwind and see part of CA we had never explored. Pulled in and the owner himself came out to greet us with our welcome packet, never had to get out of the truck! The campground has a natural beauty. Marked trails to walk, often in shade. Owners are actively making improvements to increase enjoyment of their property. This is a real gem as far as RV parks go. Right what we wanted: peaceful break from city life! Good wifi too!
TravelerI can’t say enough good things about this campground. Fowler’s was 100% full but as of later on a Thursday in mid-May here we have an entire loop to ourselves. Rain/showers were in some forecasts so some may have cancelled trips. Sites are much larger & more spread out than Fowler’s. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was we are closer to hwy89 than Fowler’s so you do hear some traffic.
GuideI stayed at this campsite after they opened from the pandemic while on a road trip home and I am so so happy I stayed here. The waterfall is like nothing I have ever seen before, and I was so blown away at it's size. The campground is a 5-10 min walk from the waterfall and while it is not private, each campsite has plenty of space I felt.
Bring a lock because the best bins require one! I recommend going down to the lake as well because when I went later in the afternoon/evening it was completely empty and we had the place to ourselves. Great spot to relax.
GuideWhere camped here just after they opened in April, 2021. The daytime visitors made for a large crowded parking lot and line at the entrance station, but so far on 8 campers in the 64 sites that were open.
It is a wonderfully shaded park (i.e. no solar) and the sites are nicely separated. However it is an older park and our 18 foot trailer was too large for many of the sites. There were no pull throughs and any trailer over 25 feet is going to have a problem. Otherwise, for the most part the pads were paved and flat.
They had solid picnic tables, aging stone fireplaces, but nice, newer heavy metal fire rings. Wood was available for purchase. There is no electric on site and the water faucets (not threaded) were scattered around the site. No dish water dump or cleaning station, but there was an RV dump station. They flush toilets with hot and cold water sinks as well as the showers (2 tokens for $1 = 4min) are excellent.
This is a cell dead zone. Absolutely no Verizon service until you drove back to Burney.
We really enjoyed the different hikes that were available, being around 2 miles more or less in length. The falls are the usual tourist zoo, but very beautiful. Once you get out on the trails, you don't see many people.
TravelerWe are winter camped here for a couple of days on our way to Mexico... The Dyrt spotted this campground for us on our route and we are sooo glad... We will make this a destination in the future.
GuideWe booked this campsite as an overnight stay on our way to Southlake Tahoe from Eugene Oregon. The campsite is incredibly beautiful with views of Mount Shasta and several other mountain peaks from the edge of the campground. Dannelle and Ben were incredibly helpful during the reservation and check in process. There was a small glitch with our reservation, but Danelle fixed it quickly and showed us to our site, which was very nicely set up and ready for a great stay. We use the trails around the campsite a couple of times each day and had an absolutely fantastic time overall. We will certainly be back.
