About
Shadow Creek Campground was a rustic, primitive camping area situated along the East Fork of the South Fork Salmon River in California's Klamath National Forest. The campground sat at roughly 3,000 feet elevation and was accessed via paved County Road 1C02, the Callahan-Cecilville Road. When operational, the campground provided six campsites, some of which could accommodate RVs. Facilities were minimal, consisting only of vault toilets with no potable water available on site. Campers needed to bring their own water supply. The Forest Service has officially decommissioned Shadow Creek Campground, and the site is no longer maintained or available for public overnight use. Campers seeking accommodations in this area of the Klamath National Forest should look to other nearby campgrounds within the Salmon/Scott River Ranger District.
Directions
