Built on an old ranch site on the McCloud Arm, set among fruit trees, sweet peas and berries, next to the McCloud Bridge day use area. Sites have tables, raised fire rings, tent pads, bear boxes and paved spurs, and the units are surfaced with brick pavers for accessibility. It is popular for easy lake access, and it takes no advance reservations at all.
