Welcome to adventure in far north Siskiyou County! Firebird Ridge presents a fantastic secluded yet convenient camp station in a beautiful semi-wild setting with huge open sky views over 50 miles of the Klamath River canyon and Siskiyou Crest. Just 10 minutes off the freeway, a variety of simple yet thoughtfully laid out low impact sites afford comfy car and tent camping or smaller RVs and vans, with ample privacy. Small to medium size (5-15p) groups may combine sites and enjoy some shared space and amenities, please inquire. Accessible year round at an elevation just under 3000 feet, the Ridge enjoys fairly comfortable temperatures with some cold nights and hot days in winter and summer respectively. This is a drier climate with infrequent rain between May and October, meaning elevated fire risk and the potential for smoke impacts from area forests, although the mountainside location generally offers clean fresh air with stunning sunsets and excellent stargazing! Count on fair to good wireless service coverage around the premises. The land contains over a mile and a half of scenic trails, with rock features and "bonsai" oak trees and shrubs in a landscape undergoing steady restoration to a healthy fire resistant native condition. Wildlife abounds, mostly the friendly sort however visitors should be mindful to avoid unwelcome encounters, and any small children or pets kept under close watch. Your host knows the environment well and can answer questions or concerns. Activity and development on site are minimized to preserve and enhance the natural habitats and ambience. Guests are advised to minimize disturbance of other occupants and lifeforms! It's fine to have fun and make some intermittent noise but disruptive or damaging behavior will be promptly curtailed. This extends to the surrounding neighborhood as well, especially while driving the road in/out where it's important to keep your speed (& dust, noise etc) DOWN. The property is NOT a park, playground, or big backyard, in fact probably not much like anyplace you've been before...prepare for an experience! A good mix of curiosity, care, humility, and attentiveness will go a long ways toward making your initial stay here satisfying and smooth. Younger guests are welcome but must be supervised and receptive to pertinent guidelines. This location is not set up (yet) for people with mobility challenges, or for people with no prior camping experience.

We enjoyed a quiet, restful evening at Ben‘s place after a long drive. A 10 minute detour from I5, it was super accessible and easy to find. We had the whole place to ourselves among the junipers, pinon pines, oaks and volcanic rocks. The compostable toilet was spotless and came with a great view of the neighboring hills. Ben was super communicative and knowledgeable about the area. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, and even did some research to find out the easiest, most interesting route for us to the Oregon coast. My wife and I highly recommend a stopover here.

What a treat to find this beautiful spot on an ancient volcano above the Klamath River, and meet Ben, the thoughtful and kind host who is stewarding and creating some magic with the land. I was the only guest for the evening and had my pick of several nice spots. This location is great for a stopover on I-5, or to start an adventure up or down the Klamath River. I’d bring your own water, and make it in time for a gorgeous sunset overlooking the valley.

camping spot was gorgeous! Host was super friendly and thoughtful. He let us know when the best time to arrive was to avoid the heat. Gave great recommendations as to what to check out locally. And he brought up a bucket of water to wash in in the morning! Would totally camp here again 💕
