About
Ash Creek Campground sits at a relatively low elevation in Modoc National Forest, making it one of the first campgrounds in the forest to open each spring. The campground provides a rustic camping experience with vault toilets but no potable water or trash service. A boil water advisory is currently in effect, so campers must bring all drinking, cooking, and washing water. Fishing is the primary draw here. Ash Creek is regularly stocked by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and numerous fly fishing spots are accessible on foot from the campground. The area offers a quiet, lightly-used alternative to more popular destinations. Just past the campground lies the southern trailhead for the Red Tail Rim Trail, a 22-mile route open to hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers. The northern trailhead connects to Highway 299 north of Canby. Campers should avoid driving on soft roads or saturated soil to prevent resource damage.
Directions
From Adin, travel east on County Road 527/Forest Road 39N08 for approximately 7 miles to County Road 22. Turn left and follow signs approximately 0.6 miles to the campground on the right.
