Flint Ridge Campground
CAMPGROUND
( 707-464-6101)
Four miles from the Klamath River Bridge via Coastal Dr, this tent-only, hike-in camp-
ground sits among a wild, overgrown meadow of ferns and moss. It's a 10-minute walk
(half a mile) east, uphill from the parking area. There's no water, plenty of bear sightings
(bear boxes on site) and you have to pack out trash. But, hey, it's free.
