About
Red Bank Campground is a small, free primitive campground with 5 sites positioned along the scenic North Fork of the Salmon River in the Klamath National Forest. The campground provides direct river access via a gravel bar ideal for swimming, wading, and water play during warmer months. Fishing opportunities exist in the river, and the surrounding forest supports wildlife viewing. Facilities are minimal, limited to vault toilets. There is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own supply or filter and treat river water. All trash must be packed out. A California Campfire Permit is required for any campfire, camp stove, or barbecue use. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations and no fees. The campground is accessed via approximately 33 miles of Sawyers Bar Road from Etna. The narrow, winding mountain road may limit access for larger vehicles. Maximum stay is 14 consecutive days.
Directions
From Etna, take Sawyers Bar Road for approximately 33 miles to Red Bank Campground.
