About

Brady's Camp is a small, free primitive campground tucked away in the Plumas National Forest at approximately 7,400 feet elevation. With just 6 campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis, this secluded spot offers a quiet retreat for those seeking a no-frills camping experience. The campground is one of only two free camping options on the Mt. Hough Ranger District. The campground is particularly popular with OHV enthusiasts, as it's one of the few campgrounds in the district that allows direct OHV trail access from the sites. It also draws hunters during deer season. Vault toilets are available, but campers must bring their own water as there is no potable water on site. Access is via Squirrel Creek Road (County Road 401), an uphill gravel road that is not recommended for RVs or trailers. Due to the high elevation, snow lingers late into spring and the campground may close early in fall depending on weather conditions.

Directions

From Quincy, travel north on Squirrel Creek Road (County Road 401) for 8 miles toward Argentine Lookout. The campground is located north of Highway 70, east of Quincy.
