Nordheimer Main Campground

Nordheimer Main Campground offers a serene escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of a Douglas-fir and hardwood forest. Located directly along the banks of the Wild and Scenic California Salmon River, this site is a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy swimming, sunbathing, rafting, or kayaking in a pristine river environment.

This federal campground provides a rustic, back-to-basics experience with 12 single sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. While there are no electric or sewer hookups and no running water, each site is equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring for your campfire needs. The facility includes vault restrooms and features gravel roads and parking areas. Most sites benefit from natural shade, making them comfortable retreats throughout the year.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who appreciate a quiet, off-the-grid environment. Because of the limited facilities, it is ideal for those who are well-prepared for primitive camping and are looking to enjoy the rugged, scenic charm of Northern California's river country.
