Lower Bluster Campground

1 ReviewAdd Review

Humboldt National Forest's Lower Bluster Campground sits along the Jarbidge River with three creek-side sites, each directly on the water and well-separated from one another. The access road is gravel and well-maintained, passing rock formations and clear water along the way. No potable water is available anywhere in the area, so campers should arrive with a full supply. No cell signal reaches this corridor. No pets are permitted, and the 25-foot RV limit applies. Nearby alternatives include Upper Bluster Campground and Pine Creek Campground, both within a short distance. June through mid-November marks the open season; carry all the water you need before leaving pavement.

Long Drive Worth Making

Lower Bluster has three creek-side campsites, all on the water and very private, and a pit toilet. The drive to this campsite is a mind blower. Excellent quality gravel road, crazy rock formations, pretty trees, and crystal clear and accessible creek. The road and campsites are all very clean. With the exception of the Jarbidge Wild and Scenic River launch site, there are very few camping pullouts until you get past the town of Jarbidge when there are many. There are many camping options in this area and all are free. No potable water in this area. No cell signal at all anywhere near. The nearest reliable cell signal to the east is 35 miles east of Murphy Hot Springs, which is closed with no opening in sight. Not many people or much traffic. The Jarbidge Wilderness looks amazing.
