About this campground
Quiet and serene this campground attracts hikers as it is near the popular Swift Creek trailhead and many persons stay there before and after their hikes. The campground has two large unnamed loops meandering through mature cedar, ponderosa pine and some deciduous trees. Each campsite has a Klamath Oven, stone fire ring, table, paved road and unsurfaced spurs and drinking water.
