Oak Bottom Campground

What sets Oak Bottom Campground apart is its serene riverside setting in the heart of Six Rivers National Forest, offering both a sense of isolation and convenient access to adventure. Located just 2.5 miles from the small town of Somes Bar, this campground provides an authentic wilderness experience surrounded by lush Douglas firs and hardwoods, while its proximity to the iconic Salmon and Klamath Rivers makes it a haven for whitewater rafting, fishing, and swimming enthusiasts.

The campground features several tent and small trailer sites, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Vault toilets and drinking water are available, ensuring a balance of comfort and simplicity. Large shade trees enhance the natural setting, and the lack of urban distractions makes it ideal for those seeking tranquility. In spring, the Salmon River attracts whitewater adventurers with its challenging Class 3 to 5 rapids, and summer brings opportunities for swimming and exploring the nearby river access points. Fall is prime time for salmon and steelhead fishing in the Klamath River, just a short drive away.

Nestled at an elevation of 700 feet, Oak Bottom Campground provides a secluded, peaceful environment perfect for weekend getaways or extended nature retreats. Its proximity to Somes Bar ensures access to basic supplies, while the surrounding wilderness offers countless opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and enjoying the untouched beauty of northern California. For those seeking a genuine connection to nature, Oak Bottom delivers an unforgettable experience.
