Elevation135 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryRed alder and myrtlewood trees frame open meadows that slope toward the creek and river confluence. The campground occupies a gentle valley with grassy clearings that offer long views, though the meadow layout means limited screening between sites. Wildflowers appear seasonally in the open areas. The Sixes River runs clean enough for swimming in summer, and the surrounding hillsides create a natural bowl effect. Watch for poison oak along the edges and unofficial paths.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no hotel-style lodges available at the campground. Accommodations are limited to campsites and group sites.

Programs & ActivitiesThere are no details about cultural or educational programs being offered at the campground.
