Kamp Klamath is located on the "Quiet Shore" of the Klamath River in California's beautiful Klamath Valley, surrounded by the Redwoods National and State Parks. With 33 acres of secluded woodlands, meadows and riverfront, the Kamp offers the splendor and beauty of a natural rain forest with hundreds of species of birds, mammals, fish, trees and wild flowers. Kamp Klamath is the closest campground to the mouth of the Klamath River and the Pacific Ocean, offering marine, riparian and forest environs.

BBQ and BON FIRE
Each Saturday night from June through September features an all-you-can-eat Salmon Barbecue including Tossed Green Salad, Dressing and Croutons, Stir-Fried Vegetables, and Rice Pilaf. Dinner is served buffet-style - select your salmon hot off the grill and come back for seconds! Following dinner is a bon fire and live music. We encourage those with instruments to bring them and be part of our "Join-in-Jamb."

RV SITES
All RV sites are grassy and feature water and electricity (35 amps) and most offer sewage hookups. Generally, RV and tent sites are separated , but we do offer some combination sites. We have pull-thrus up to 70' as well as triple-slid-out spaces. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring on request.

TENT SITES
Tent sites at Kamp Klamath reflect the pristine forest and meadow character of our beautiful surroundings. All sites are within easy walking distance of the rest rooms and hot showers (free to our guests). Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, and camp fires are permitted all year long.

LOG CABIN STORE
Our convenience store and office are located in a genuine, hand-hewn Redwood log cabin. The store offers cold beer, sodas, ice, breakfast and snack items. Also featured are camping accessories, fishing tackle (rental rods available) and a whole bunch of those things we always leave behind. We also have a whole lot of informative brochures and maps and can help you plan your visit. FunBus Stop

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
We have highlighted the Klamath area's favorite tourist attractions, including FunBus Tours, Trees of Mystery, Tour Thru Tree and Klamath Jet Boats. FunBus Stop

REDWOODS
Kamp Klamath is in the heart of, and surrounded by the Redwood National Park. We will soon be adding extensive information on this remarkable tree: What it really is; how it has survived for millennia; why science says it can't really grow so tall, how it makes its own rain, why it has different types of specialized needles and more. Once widespread in California's Redwood Coast, the Redwood now populates only 5% of its former home. We will share what is being done to protect and restore it. FunBus Stops

FERN CANYON
The filming location for parts of Jurassic Park and Lost World, Fern Canyon leads from Gold Bluffs Beach into the rain forest through a deep gash in the coastal range. Fifty-foot high vertical walls are covered with a lush tapestry of ferns. Freshet waterfalls cascade and dissolve into fine spray as the canyon stream seeks its destiny in the Pacific below. A return along the canyon rim leads to a wild-Iris filled meadow which once served as home to scores of gold miners. FunBus Stop

FUN IN KAMP
Besides all the opportunities to explore Mother Nature at her boldest, Kamp Klamath also offers man-made entertainment. At no cost, you may enjoy Croquet, Volley Ball, Horseshoes, Bocce Ball, Goofy Golf and Disc Golf. Besides our Saturday night Bon Fire and "Join-in-Jamb", Doug often finds it difficult not to start up an impromptu sing-along.

WILD LIFE
Kamp Klamath is located in a unique triangle blending forest, riparian (river) and marine (ocean) influences into the perfect environs for a collage of nature's creatures. Critters we have spotted within the 33 acres of Kamp Klamath include Beaver, Black Bear, Black-Tailed Deer, Bobcat, Chipmunk, Coyote, Field Mouse, Frog, Garter Snake (no poisonous snakes), Gray Fox, Mink, Mole, Mountain Lion, Opossum, Raccoon, River Otter, Roosevelt Elk, Salamander, Sea Lion, Seal, Squirrel and Toad.

BIRDS
As with other forms of wild life, the myriad of bird species which live at, or pass through, Kamp Klamath is exceptionally diversified. Official survey takers and amateur birders have noted a remarkable list of feathered creatures in Kamp. The forest/riparian/marine triangle welcomes a diversified array of birds, much to the delight of Kamp guests involved in this fast-growing hobby. FunBus Feature

KLAMATH RIVER
With a quarter mile shoreline, Kamp Klamath is located on the Klamath River, California's largest. The Klamath flows 230 miles from its headwaters north of Klamath Falls, Oregon and spills into the Pacific Ocean just downstream from the Kamp. The river offers world-class Salmon and Steelhead fishing, boating, swimming and inner tubing. The Klamath River Jet boats offer an unparalleled opportunity to explore this incredibly scenic waterway. FunBus Stops

BEACHES
Kamp Klamath is the closest camp ground to the Pacific Ocean at Klamath Beach. At night, campers can hear the crash of breakers on the black sands of the mouth-straddling sand bar and hear sea lions scolding each other as they compete for migrating salmon. The beaches of Del Norte County are world-famous for their rugged beauty, driftwood, agates and tide pools. Klamath Beach also offers unmatched Red-Tailed Perch fishing. FunBus Stops

NATIVE PLANTS
Plants growing within Kamp Klamath's boundaries include many categories including wild flowers, ferns, mosses, mushrooms, vines, broad leaves, grasses and trees. We are in the middle of a photography project to capture and display the many plant varieties at Kamp and we will publish more of them as soon as we are able. FunBus Feature

EDIBLES
There is a remarkable assemblage of edible and medicinal plants flourishing at Kamp Klamath. We are in the process of identifying, photographing and researching them and will include them on our web site as we progress. FunBus Feature

FISHING
The Klamath River has been celebrated as one of the greatest salmon rivers in the world. Its waters produce exceptional table fare (ask Martha Stewart) during a spring and a fall run. Steelhead add variety and aerobatics to fishing opportunities in the river

A number of varied trails depart from Kamp Klamath, including the Flint Ridge Trail, especially popular with our European guests. Easier trails include the Lost Pond, Grotto, Maple Tree and Estuary Trails. We also have some fine bike routes.

The world's fastest growing individual physical sport is rock climbing specializing in free-standing geologic structures. Bouldering has hundreds of thousands of dedicated enthusiasts roaming the globe for challenging "problems", in search of photographic proof of their conquests. Among the planet's most notable bouldering sights are the Lost Rocks of Klamath Beach. Kamp Klamath has become Headquarters for these modern-day Sir and Lady Hillarys.

PETS
We encourage pets to bring their people with them to Kamp Klamath, being a far superior alternative to locking them up in some impersonal strange place. We do ask that you follow some basic rules and courtesies.
