About this campground
Located in Orleans just below the bridge over the Klamath River. This access has a gravel dirt road to the river’s edge and is an excellent place launching drift and jet boats. This long gravel bar requires 4 wheel drive at times later in the fall. Very popular bank fishing spot for Salmon, Steelhead and Chad. For all boating on the Klamath, please read the restrictions on the Karuk Ceremonial dates. Water and garbage service are not provided. Bring enough water for drinking, cooking and washing as well as extra water to drown campfires each day. Please take all trash, garbage, fish guts and dog droppings with you when you leave.
