This whole area is breathtaking! The Klamath river is crystal clear and there are multiple trails leading to swimming holes along it from the campground. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been swimming. The water was so invigorating and refreshing.
The campground is very clean - we saw someone come to service and clean the trash and restrooms each day of our visit.
In the summer the mosquitoes are relentless. You WILL need spray with some deet in it. Our deet-free citronella spray was utterly useless and we all went home with over 50 bites each, no exaggeration. On our last night we acquired deet spray and noticed they still hovered all around us, but weren’t biting. Consider bringing a shelter with bug screens if you have access to one, as they love to swarm around your face while cooking and eating.
Again, this whole area is stunning. The land is stewarded by the indigenous locals of the Karuk tribe, and you can see the harmony of their relationship to the land in the beauty surrounding you. If you need any supplies, head to Somes Bar (about 15 miles south of Dillon Creek Campground) and go to Salmon Creek Outpost. The store is owned and operated by indigenous locals who are very friendly, helpful, and offer a great selection. They even had good produce and fresh high quality meats available.

We had to leave cause the neighbors had taken over the campsite to the edge of ours. Plus the heat, the mosquitos, the barking dogs and the loudness were unbearable.

Nearest smallest town for supplies is about 25 - 30 miles away in Happy Camp and 1.5 - 2 hours from Yreka, CA. We thought we had packed enough mosquito supplies but after arriving, nothing worked so we had to go back into Yreka the next day for more mosquito repellent supplies. There is no cellular service with Verizon Wireless or AT&T through our new vehicle (necessary when you find out last minute that the McCash Fire is just over the ridge). The hike down to the river across the road was easy even as a luscious person (bigger person). There is blue and green algae in the river nearby so you cannot take a dip unless you'd like to be hospitalized hours away from the nearest one. The bathrooms were clean, no official wash station so bring your own soap, towels, and spray if you've got a family who lights up the bathroom like an atomic bomb. There are campfire pits and full-length tables at each camping spot.
