One of the first for the season, the Bureau of Land Management’s Pit River Campground and river access area in Eastern Shasta County will open tomorrow, just in time for trout fishing opening day.
The campground features seven individual campsites, a group campsite, and a day-use area ideal for fishing and picnicking. Campsites have fire rings, tables, and barbecues. Barbecues and picnic tables are also available at the day-use site. You are allowed to fish off the pier, and Kayakers and rafters can take advantage of a specially designed launch site. There are no fees for the day-use site or launch site. Campsite fees are $8 per night; the group site is $12 nightly. Camping is on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are not accepted. There is an on-site campground host. The campground is five miles west of Fall River Mills, along State Highway 299.
More information is available by calling the BLM Applegate Field Office at 530-233-4666.
