Ash Creek Campground in Modoc National Forest opens earlier in the season than higher-elevation alternatives due to its lower elevation, making it ideal for early-season fishing trips.

The campground offers restroom facilities and excellent fly fishing opportunities within walking distance, though potable water is not available so visitors must bring their own.

Access requires navigating several miles of rough dirt roads unsuitable for large trailers, and the site operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-day camping limit.
