Lovely campground
Lovely campground next to the Klamath River. Sites were fairly large and private. Not RV friendly but great for tents. Water available. Clean pit toilets. Campground is slightly close to road but not annoyingly so. Limited hiking from campground.

Klamath River Access
During the day it was busy as it is a key location for 1/2 day rafting trips on the Klamath. We weren't rafting but did enjoy the cool water. Didn't seem to be much in the way of activity to do if you weren't rafting. Trails in the area were very short. In the evening it cooled off and got nice and quiet. Sites were large. Hosts were friendly. Toilets were cleaned daily and not overly odorous. Great access to the i5 if you are travelling. The site we were on had limited shade.
Good for a pitstop
We were looking for something about halfway between SF and Portland. This was a convenient spot since it's close enough to the Oregon border, located close to Yreka and just far enough off the 1-5 to make you feel like you're off the beaten path. The camp is right on the Klamath! It's a pretty typical campground. Good tree cover but not a lot of privacy between spots. It served the purpose we needed and would consider using it again for pitstops, but nothing so special that I'd go out of my way to spend several days there unless you planned on finding river access to play in the Klamath.
