Indian Scotty Group Site

Would you expect a campground to combine the serenity of towering forest canopies with exhilarating Class IV-V whitewater adventures? Indian Scotty Group Site in Klamath National Forest offers this rare blend of peaceful seclusion and adrenaline-pumping recreation, all framed by the rippling waters of the Wild and Scenic Scott River.

Set at an elevation of 2,400 feet amidst cedar, Douglas fir, and ponderosa pine, this group-friendly campground is perfect for family outings or gatherings of up to 50 people. Its riverside location allows for prime fishing, swimming, and tubing during the summer months, while springtime brings thrilling whitewater rafting opportunities on the Scott River. Several trailheads leading into the Marble Mountain Wilderness are just a short drive away, providing access to breathtaking landscapes ideal for hiking and backpacking. For onsite comforts, campers will find drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, but should come prepared as there are no hookups or showers.

Located 14 miles west of Fort Jones via Scott River Road, Indian Scotty boasts a prime position near the Marble Mountain Wilderness and its expansive trail network. For those seeking a scenic day trip, the iconic Pacific Crest Trail and vistas of Mount Shasta are accessible within the surrounding area. Whether you're craving adventure or solitude, this campground offers an authentic Northern California experience for weekend escapes or extended vacations.
