About This Location

Discover Herring Creek Campground, a quiet, rustic USFS site tucked into a scenic mixed conifer forest. Perfect for peaceful tent and car camping year-round.

Herring Creek Campground offers a rustic, back-to-basics escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of a mixed conifer forest. Located just off Highway 108 near Herring Creek, this USFS-managed site provides a serene environment for campers who prefer a more secluded and authentic outdoor experience. Its year-round accessibility makes it a versatile destination for those seeking a getaway in the heart of the woods.

The campground features seven individual sites, each equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring for evening campfires. As a primitive facility, it relies on vault toilets, and visitors should be prepared to pack in their own potable water, as none is available on-site. The terrain consists of dirt-surfaced roads and parking pads, maintaining a natural, undeveloped feel throughout the area.

This location is best suited for tent campers and those interested in car camping who are comfortable with self-sufficient travel. Because of the primitive nature of the facilities, it is an ideal spot for those looking to disconnect from modern distractions and enjoy the rugged, quiet landscape of the California wilderness.
