Sims Flat Campground

19 sites · RV, Tent

At Sims Flat Campground you might just feel like you’re in the 1930’s when you pitch your tent beside the mighty Sacramento River at historic campsites, as the Union Pacific freight train rumbles its way through the canyon.

You might just feel like you’re in the 1960’s when you visit the cute vintage style town of Dunsmuir just down the road. And you might just feel primordial, when you witness the majestic Castle Craigs and dive into river canyon swimming holes that are located nearby. Whatever the year, you’re guaranteed to enjoy this popular camping spot.

Looking forward to camping here on an Upper Sacramento River trip I'm planning for Memorial Day.
