About
Pearch Creek Campground lies in the Klamath River valley of Six Rivers National Forest, nestled within a mature Douglas fir and hardwood forest. The campground provides a cool, shaded retreat during hot summer days, with moss-covered rocks and the sound of nearby Pearch Creek adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The small town of Orleans is just one mile south. The campground offers 10 single-family sites suitable for tent camping, with sites 1 and 6-10 accommodating RVs and trailers up to 30 feet. Sites 2-5 are not recommended for RVs due to road limitations. Each site features a picnic table and campfire ring with grill, and many sites have historic rock camp stoves. Potable drinking water and accessible vault toilets are available. The area is renowned for salmon and steelhead fishing in the Klamath River, considered some of the best in northern California. The Salmon River, a short drive away, offers whitewater rafting, swimming, and kayaking. Trailheads to the Marble Mountain Wilderness are nearby. This is bear country; bear-resistant food storage is required.
Directions
From Orleans, California, follow State Highway 96 north approximately 1.5 miles to the campground.
