Algoma Campground

Algoma Campground is a small, free undeveloped camping area with 8 user-created sites located at 3,800 feet elevation on the Upper McCloud River, serving as the terminus of the 15-mile McCloud River Trail.

The campground offers direct river access for fishing and swimming, with minimal amenities (one vault toilet, no drinking water), making it ideal for those seeking a quiet, rustic riverside experience away from more developed facilities.

Easy paved road access from Highway 89 and flat, forested sites with trees suitable for hammock camping make it accessible for tent camping and small RVs (up to 24 feet).
