Located along Klamath River Highway (CA-96), there are four entrances into the campground. The closest town with amenities is going to be Yreka, CA, about 16 miles to the south. Originally named Virginia Bar, this area was a gold mining claim in the late 1800s. There are no trash cans on site.
There is room for about 10 to 15 campers, depending on how large the vehicles are.
