October 2025 - Great dry camping spot right off the highway. We drove in east from Orick/Redwood Park with a 24 ft class c towing an SUV. They're laying some cables down the last 5 miles of the Bald Hills Road going into Hoopa, but otherwise no big issues getting through. Just keep it slow, or avoid it all together and go down to 299. If you're driving north on Klamath River Hwy. You'll see an old entrance with the gate closed and overgrown, just keep it movin for another 1/4 mile and you'll see the real junction to get down to the campsite. The campground has about 10 large multipurpose sites with picnic tables. You could back in a trailer, pop up a tent, or whatever completely FREE. If you keep on going beyond the pavement and follow the gravel and rock road you can get fairly close to the river in a car or rv but it's still a walk to the water. There's limited space to get turned around down this way, so maybe scout it out real quick on foot to make sure nobody else is blocking access or that'd it'd be worth it to drive down. We didn't have a ton of time to explore this forest or really do much research on our way down South, so I'm happy to have had a easily accessible spot to get our feet wet.

Closed even though it says open year round on the forest service website but it's awful close to the highway anyway

Definitely for experienced campers! The road is drivable with a 2WD car. Although there aren't many (if at all) sandy spots on the banks of the river, it was manageable. Especially since no one else was there. 😊

The US Forest Service is HIGHLY NEGLIGENT in their management of The People's assets. Aikens Creek campground is a great example of their failure. This place has gone downhill in a Big Way over the past couple of decades. Sadly I am disappointed.
