Camp Creek

Camp Creek is a moderate out-and-back hike on natural trail surface in the Orleans Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest in northern California. The route rises from a low point of 1,144 feet to a high of 2,488 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,356 feet, and it is about 5 miles long. The Forest Service manages the land. The trail is open year-round, and it allows horses and bikes. The climb is one way, so plan for a round trip of roughly 10 miles and twice the gain. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Cecilville run from highs around 75°F in May to about 89°F in September, with July peaking near 96°F. Prospect Hill is about 3 miles away, and the Salmon River Trail is about 7 miles out. Pearch Creek Campground and Fish Lake Campground both sit within 8 miles.
