We didn't camp but hiked up the hill at the end of December. It is about 2.5 hour hike. We found some mushrooms. We got the whole place yo ourselves. If the main gate is closed just park outside the gate amd enjoy the nature!

My Mother stayed here, and had this to stay... July 18 2021 I just spent 5 nights at East Fork Campground in Six Rivers National Forest near Willow Creek. The campground is lovely. Shaded spots right by the river. Clean bathrooms. (5 stars) Unfortunately there are groups of people arriving after 5 pm with numerous cars in the campsites. Possibly to avoid the USFS that only comes thru in the day. There was a lot of driving in and out late into the night. Their campground etiquette is seriously lacking. (2 stars) This may be a seasonal problem. I would like to look forward to camping there again when there were no “free loaders” and more traditional campers as my neighbors.
