Happy Camp Ranger District
Klamath National Forest
Ferry Point River Access is a free, dispersed camping area offered by Klamath National Forest. It's a large flat area along the banks of Klamath River, large enough to support 10-12 full-sized RVs, with enough room for additional cars, vans, and pickup trucks. In the 1850's this area was a thriving little town with a hotel, dance hall, ferry, store and school. Pack trains came through here from the coast on their way to Scott Valley and Happy Camp.
