Kamp Klamath is located along the Klamath River, 1.3 miles from the mouth of the River at the Pacific Ocean. The world-famous Klamath River fishery is open all year and sports a long King (Chinook) Salmon season and two Steelhead Trout runs. Additionally, the world record Red Tail Perch was caught right here at Klamath Beach.

We are the closest campground (1.3 miles of paved road) to the mouth of the Klamath River, which offers numerous recreation and adventure opportunities. The Klamath Beach sand bar creates and protects an important estuary. The river is world famous for its Chinook (King) Salmon fishing and also offers steelhead, rainbow trout, sturgeon and red tail perch. Common visitors to the area include seals and sea lions, whales and thousands of shore birds, osprey and eagles. While the surf is often too dangerous for swimming, the warm waters behind the beach are ideal for swimming as well as kayaking or canoeing.

We are within short drives to all the wonderful offerings of the Redwood National and State Parks. The Redwood National Park surrounds Kamp Klamath. Prairie Creek, Del Norte Coast and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Parks are within short drives. The "Big Tree" is among the most popular of the forest giants. At 1,500 years of age, it was a seedling when the northern hordes were destroying Rome and King Arthur was holding court at the Round Table. Other popular highlights include Stout Grove and the "Corkscrew Tree."

There are numerous trails all around the area, at varying levels of difficulty. Walk the 3 mile breathtaking coastal loop right outside the campground, or bring your bike.

For a bigger challenge hike the 9 mile historic flint ridge trail right from the coastal loop.

Imagine walking through a narrow canyon where the walls are completely covered by luxuriant ferns and mosses and are dripping with moisture. That describes Fern Canyon in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Forest. It's an unforgettable natural wonder that Steven Spielberg chose as a location for Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World. A level trail of about one mile follows Home Creek that has carved a deep (50 to 80 feet) canyon through the sedimentary soils. The vertical walls sprout an amazing variety of ferns (five different kinds) and other moisture-loving plants and mosses. This must-see attraction is just 18 miles from Kamp Klamath.
