Forest Glen Campground, Hayfork, CA, 96041
River swimmers and anglers who can show up early on a summer weekday will get the most out of this place. The swimming hole draws real praise, the walk-in sites at the far end are the quietest spots, and $12 cash buys a solid night under the pines.
Minimal screening between sites means neighbors are close, crumbling parking aprons limit trailers past 16 feet, and there are no showers or hookups. Mosquitoes are a genuine problem in warm months, and poison oak is present throughout.

Summer brings the most reliable conditions. Daytime highs in the mid-70s to low-90s, evenings dropping to the 40s and 50s. River flows settle after spring runoff, making swimming and wading practical. Early summer delivers wildflower displays along trails. Expect busier weekends in July and August, quieter weekdays. Fire restrictions and occasional smoke can affect late summer visits. The season runs May through October, with winter bringing cold temperatures and occasional snow that closes access.
