Set back off the highway in a tree lined gulch this campground is a very quiet and pleasant place to spend the weekend or your entire vacation. A short hiking trail is available for nature viewing as this is one of the several Basin and Range Birding Trail stops within the Modoc National Forest. A recent dedication of the Highway 139 Auto Tour and Howard's Gulch Interpretive Sites brings an added benifit to this area. The Auto Tour is just south of the campground on the Howard's Gulch Frontage Road.
From Alturas travel west on Hwy 299 past Canby to Hwy 139. Turn north on Hwy 139 and go 4 miles to the campground entrance on the left.
This is very small campground. Even it was Friday, I was the only one. Sites are well maintained.
Had the whole campground to ourselves. It was easy access off the freeway but wasn’t noisy. Partly because there are less cars driven on that freeway. We have an rv so we didn’t use their vault toilet. NO cell service. Enjoyed this free campsite! Thank you MODOC National Forest!
