About
Nordheimer Campground is a primitive Forest Service campground nestled in a Douglas-fir and hardwood forest close to the Wild and Scenic California Salmon River. The main campground features 12 sites tucked under shady trees, each equipped with a combination fire ring grill and picnic table. An on-site campground host provides assistance during the camping season. The campground serves as an excellent base for river recreation on the Salmon River, one of California's premier whitewater destinations. Swimming holes and sunbathing spots are easily accessible, and the river offers outstanding rafting and kayaking opportunities. The surrounding forest provides hiking trails and excellent wildlife viewing. Access requires traveling approximately 13 miles from Highway 96 on Salmon River Road/Forest Highway 93. The first 7 miles are two-lane, but the remaining distance narrows to a single lane with tight corners and sheer cliffs. Larger RVs and trailers are not recommended due to these challenging road conditions. Gravel roads and parking areas serve the campground.
Directions
From California State Highway 96, turn onto Salmon River Road/Forest Highway 93 and continue approximately 13 miles. The first 7 miles are two-lane; the remaining distance narrows to one lane with tight corners and sheer cliffs.
