About
Hotelling Campground is a small, rustic campground with 4 sites situated right on the South Fork of the Salmon River in Klamath National Forest. Located approximately 43 miles south of Callahan via the Callahan-Cecilville Road, this campground offers easy access and proximity to the river, making it a favorite among locals throughout the summer season. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, but no potable water or trash service. Campers can filter or boil water from the adjacent river for drinking and cooking needs, and must pack out all trash and recycling. The riverside location offers excellent opportunities for fishing, swimming, non-motorized boating, and wildlife viewing. This is a no-fee campground operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Camping is limited to 14 consecutive days. The simple, undeveloped nature of the campground appeals to those seeking a more primitive camping experience along one of the region's scenic river corridors.
