Elk Creek Campground & RV Park

I'd never never been to Northern Cali until I stayed here for a week. Your surrounded by endless trees and the Klamath River that runs right down the side of the campground. It's got a nice little watering hole where we had some beers and floated around for hours... They got a nice thing going here, everyone knows each and you just get that real sense of community....I honestly don't think I met one unpleasant person in Happy Camp. The nearest bigger town is about an hour in half drive away in Yreka. That's where your gonna find a Walmart where you'll want to stock up on everything because there's only one grocery store for miles and miles and it's a bit pricy. It's not the fanciest of places so if your picky about dust and dirt this probably isn't for you. But if you can just enjoy being out surrounded by nature than I'd recommend it. Overall it was just an awesome experience. There's just nothing remotely like this in SoCal.

Dirty and dilapidated bathrooms, showers, cabins, and laundry rooms. Neighbors around camp are loud at night. Huge smell of septic during the evening. Wifi usually doesnt work, and cable is scratchy. The management of the park is very sub par, compared to other campgrounds in the area. The park has very poor landscaping, and not very level lots. Have seen the manager yelling and cursing at tenants, for bring up simple complaints. Would never recommend this campground to anyone. I personally was told to leave, for not moving my trailer to another spot (after I had told them I planned to stay at least a year opon moving in, which they said would be no problem for that spot.) Don't waste your time here, I would recommend the Karuk Tribes campgrounds, as it is cheaper and has better accommodations, with level, easy to pull in and out of spots. (My trailer was scratched up pretty good pulling it in and out of Elk Creek Campground, and my spot was so unlevel, It collapsed my leveling jack.)

WHAT A BLESSING!!! MY HUSBAND AND I STAYED FOR A MONTH AND THE PEACE, QUIET, BEAUTY AND VIEWS ARE AWESOME.... WE WERE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND THE OWNERS WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO HELP US. WHEN TRAVELING WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN'T GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT. HERE THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL CREEK IN THE CAMPGROUND THAT IF YOU OPEN YOUR WINDOWS AT NIGHT, YOU WILL HEAR THE BEAUTIFUL SOUND THAT CAN PUT YOU TO SLEEP...IN THE MORNINGS THE BIRDS ARE SINGING AND THE QUIETNESS IS SO PEACEFULL. QUIET TIME IS AT 10:00 PM, AND WE NEVER HEARD A SOUND. HERE YOU FEEL WELCOME, THE BEAUTY AND PEOPLE ARE HAPPY AND KIND. WHERE EVER YOU GO, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG. SO STOP BY HERE IF WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR IS TOO RELAX, TAKE TIME FOR A SPIRIT WALK, READ, OR JUST BREATH IN THE SMELLS OF THE FORREST, FLOWERS,THE CREEK OR MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS. WHEN WE COME THROUGH NEXT YEAR, WE HOPE TO COME BACK. FERREL@CHYLOE WHITEFEATHER KENDA

Booked reservation was the only reason we stayed here. Plus the fact it was already Friday evening when we arrived. Their website would win any "Dishonesty & BS Award" around. "Rated #1 Rural Park on the West Coast" it says. Best use of selective photos, ever. They are cheap, $50 a night, but price isn't everything. The campground area might be OK, but the two cabins they have are downright scary! We stayed in the "Bear Cabin". It was clean, but very small, cramped, the mattress wasn't too bad. Heater didn't work, we turned on the oven on the small electric range. Outside the place is filthy! Old broken down travel trailer & junk Chevy S10 Blazer, with flat tires, stuff piled on it was next to our cabin. Broken steps up from parking spot, with debris laying about, around cabin. I swear I think I smelled meth cooking. We were very concerned about break in of our vehicle. We couldn't leave fast enough Saturday morning. We could hear banjos playing as we drove off....
