Creek-side camping draws visitors to West Branch Campground, where the US Forest Service maintains 28 sites along a waterway in the Klamath National Forest. The facility operates from May through October, providing drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables for guests. RVs up to 28 feet can access the campground, though the creek proximity may limit some site options during higher water periods.
Campers exploring campgrounds around Happy Camp will find this forest service location suits those seeking creek access without extensive amenities.
Description
During the Great Depression the Civilian Conservation Corps built a camp here for the crews building the Greyback Road. Later it became a fire guard station and camp for fire crews and finally a public campground. The 10 family campsites are scattered along the West Branch of Indian Creek. There is lots of shade and camping guidebooks refer to it as quiet, secluded and tranquil.
