Sites are located along Cougar Creek. The tent sites vary in size, with the smaller, more intimate sites found adjacent to Cougar Creek. Lake access is found across County Road 777 from the campground, with a trail that leads to Carberry Creek. (When the lake is full, the trail ends at the lake). There is nearby access to Applegate Lake and an OHV trail system. There are wheelchair accessible facilities and trails. This site is open all year, but is a walk-in site during the off-season, with no service provided during that time. Park at the gate and proceed on foot from there. Please pack out what you pack in, and always remember to Leave No Trace.

From Jacksonville, OR, follow Highway 238 southwest for 6.5 miles, turning south on Upper Applegate Road (County Road 859) at Ruch, OR. Continue south for approximately 18.5 miles (the last 4 miles are along Applegate Lake) to the junction with County Road 777. Turn west (right) and travel about 0.3 mile. Carberry Campground is on the left side of the road.
This is a great camp ground. Go past Carberry and keep going until you hit the dirt road. In about 3 min you'll be in Cali, go to the end and you can take a right or left and there are awesome free camp sites all over. The right has more options, more sites all the way up.the road for at least 10 miles. They are big private sites that go all the way up both sides of the road. River runs through with beautiful little hidden swimming holes. The left leads to a handful of gorgeous large river front camp sites, just less options that way bit just as beautiful!! The place is very clean and you cant beat free camping. There is a rope swing by the first bridge on the right turn side and a perfect area to swim and relax on the giant oddly shaped rocks that line the river. No phone service and no bathrooms, there is a park about 10 min away that does have one. There is a small store at the marina & coffee for a $1.
