Pit River Campground

Nestled along the banks of the Pit River, this primitive BLM campground offers a serene escape for those looking to enjoy Northern California's natural beauty. At an elevation of 2,841 feet, the site provides a quiet, year-round retreat where the sound of the flowing river is your constant companion. It is an ideal spot for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a simple, back-to-basics wilderness experience.

The campground features eight designated campsites, each equipped with a picnic table, a metal fire ring, and a barbecue pit. While the site is primitive, it does include essential facilities such as two wheelchair-accessible restrooms. The recreation area is specifically designed to maximize river enjoyment, featuring an accessible fishing pier and a dedicated kayak launch ramp for those looking to get out on the water.

This location is best suited for tent campers and those who enjoy a rustic, off-the-grid environment. Because it offers no hookups, it is perfect for visitors who appreciate a minimalist approach to camping. Whether you are spending your day fishing from the pier or launching a kayak into the Pit River, this campground provides a tranquil basecamp for your outdoor adventures.
