Within Siskiyou National Forest, River Bench Campground provides hike-in and walk-in access for campers willing to carry their gear. The US Forest Service manages this forested site near the river, offering vault toilets and surprisingly reliable cell service despite the remote setting. Big rigs can access the area, though the walk-in requirement means campers must pack light from their vehicles.
The campground prohibits pets, which some campers appreciate for wildlife viewing opportunities. For those seeking drive-up convenience, Siskiyou National Forest Sixmile Campground sits nearby with standard vehicle access.
