Located on the Upper McCloud River at an elevation of 3400 feet, this is the most popular campground in the McCloud Area. This campground is situated near three waterfalls on the river, which adds to its popularity.

The McCloud Falls vary in height from 15 to 50 feet. A river-side trail from the campground provides access to the falls. It is approximately three miles round trip to see all three. Swimming and fishing are other popular activities. This section of river has no special restrictions for fishing. 

The McCloud River Loop, a paved road approx 10 miles in length provides access to the Middle Falls and Upper Falls parking lots and overlooks if you do not wish to hike the trail.
