About Brady'S Camp Campground
Nestled high in the Mt. Hough Ranger District, Brady's Camp stands as a hidden gem among the Plumas National Forest's free campgrounds. This Forest Service-managed retreat offers adventurers direct access to exhilarating OHV trails that wind through pristine mountain terrain. As autumn arrives, the campground transforms into a basecamp for deer hunters seeking their seasonal quarry, creating a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts who return year after year to this mountain sanctuary.
The campground provides primitive camping options with six first-come, first-serve sites. It is not recommended for RVs or trailers due to the steep and gravelly access road.

ElevationPerched at an impressive 7,400 feet above sea level, Brady's Camp offers visitors a true high-altitude camping experience. This lofty position places the campground among the clouds, where the air is crisp and thin, and the landscape transforms with each passing weather system. The elevation creates a unique microclimate that shapes every aspect of the camping experience, from the extended snow season to the spectacular summer wildflower displays.
Natural Features and SceneryRising 7,400 feet into the California sky, Brady's Camp commands breathtaking views across the Plumas National Forest's rugged landscape. The high elevation creates a stunning natural amphitheater where ancient conifers stand sentinel over meadows that burst with wildflowers during the brief summer season. Late-lingering snowfields paint abstract patterns across the mountainsides well into June, while autumn brings a golden transformation to the aspens that dot the hillsides. This is a place where the raw beauty of the Sierra Nevada meets the accessibility of established camping.
Geological RegionBrady's Camp occupies a spectacular perch within the Mt. Hough Ranger District, a mountainous realm within the greater Plumas National Forest. This geological wonderland sits at 7,400 feet, where ancient volcanic activity and millennia of erosion have sculpted a landscape of dramatic ridges and hidden valleys. The high elevation means visitors camp among peaks that trap winter storms, creating the late-season snowpack that feeds the streams and supports the diverse ecosystem of this mountain wilderness.
