Upper Bluster Campground

Water access enthusiasts will find Upper Bluster Campground features a single riverside campsite along the Jarbidge Wild and Scenic River. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in site within Humboldt National Forest, accessible via high-quality gravel roads that wind through rock formations and forested terrain. Campers should note the site lacks a dedicated restroom facility, with the nearest pit toilet located at Lower Bluster Campground or Pine Creek. No potable water is available on-site, and cell service is nonexistent throughout the area. The campground allows alcohol but prohibits pets, making it suitable for adult groups seeking creek access in a remote setting.

Fantastic Area

Upper Bluster has one campsite on the water, nearest pit toilet is at Lower Bluster or Pine Creek. 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.
