About
Aikens Creek West Campground sits in the Orleans Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest, offering free primitive camping near the Klamath River. The campground provides a rustic base for exploring this remote corner of Northern California, where the Klamath River draws anglers seeking salmon and steelhead, particularly in fall. As a primitive site, campers should come prepared to be self-sufficient. There is no potable water, no restrooms, and no trash service, so bring all supplies and pack out all waste. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings. The campground can accommodate trailers up to 35 feet. The area offers excellent fishing, kayaking, rafting, swimming, hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-day stay limit. Access dates may vary due to wet weather conditions.
Directions
Aikens Creek West Campground is located in the Six Rivers National Forest, approximately 1/2 mile from the Klamath River. Access is via Klamath River Highway/FR 10N75 near Hoopa, California.
