Ramhorn Springs Campground

About

Ramhorn Springs Campground is a small, free primitive campground operated by the Bureau of Land Management in the high desert of eastern Lassen County, California. Located off State Route 395 near Ravendale, the 10-unit campground sits adjacent to a natural spring that has been utilized by travelers and ranchers for many years. The high desert setting offers excellent opportunities for hiking, hunting, bird watching, and horseback riding. Facilities are basic but functional, including an informational kiosk, picnic tables, fire rings, trash cans, a horse corral, and one vault toilet. Campers must bring their own water as no potable water is available on site. The campground surface is packed earth and gravel, and there is minimal shade, making the cooler months the most enjoyable time to visit. Access is via BLM Road 26000, an unimproved dirt road that can become rough, dusty, and impassable during wet weather. The road is passable by vehicles pulling trailers under normal conditions. Overnight camping is limited to 14 consecutive days within a 28-day period.
