Persido Bar Campground
Persido Bar Campground
Persido Bar is a popular, high-use take-out point on the Klamath River featuring a graded gravel road leading to a large cobble bar with flat access to the water's edge.
The site offers ample parking, a permanent restroom, and allows camping up to 14 days, though water and garbage services are not provided—visitors must bring their own water and pack out all trash. Located approximately 25.
7 miles west of Happy Camp on Highway 96, it's ideal for river floaters and anglers, though boaters should research the river's rapids and varying difficulty levels before attempting navigation.
