Lovely campground with a nice walking path. Good for dark sky viewing because it was very dark. We'd come here again.

I've stayed here several times, and it is a nice well-kept campground. I would rate it a five but for the fact that my reserved spot was occupied. They in turn the night before found their spot occupied and the host told them to take my spot and if someone shows up, they will deal with it at that time. well, I showed up. rather than make a group pack up and move I chose to take a first come first served spot that was vacant. Things happen, but this was very poorly handled by the on-site host, and I am out the $8 reservation fee plus did not stay in my reserved (preferred) spot. That being said, the campground was kept in good order by the host, and it is a beautiful spot to camp and enjoy the sky and river and birds. there is some traffic noise from Cal. highway 96, but not too bad. There is some noisy construction on weekdays going on across the Klamath River on Klamath River Rd., but it won't go on forever. All in all, a very nice place to camp and relax.

My favorite place to camp! Right on the river, not too far off of Hwy 5 for a quick overnight stay. It doesn't have the amenities some may want, but it's a true camping experience.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. We were able to get my favorite spot, which is very close to the lake. Ducks came and visited us every day. Cell service is pretty much non existent, but we brought Starlink so we had ability to call and text. Very quiet this late in the season as well.

Peaceful and quiet. Steep entry road so beware but once you’re in it is a well kept facility. Walking paths are available however one was blocked by rock slide. Will definitely go back.

Everything was fantastic! We had plenty of room, bathrooms, running water, a great firepit and lots of provided firewood. The camp was clean and, overall, the perfect experience for my large group for nearly a week. The ONLY thing that came up that could be improved is that it would have been helpful to have a standard garden hose threading on the water spigots for filling the tank in one of our trailers, washing off stuff after a successful hunt, etc. Although not the fault or obligation of the campground, the whole Happy Camp area is not good with cell phone coverage. I wish that would improve.
