Natural Features
The Klamath National Forest encompasses nearly 2 million acres of land straddling the California and Oregon border.
The Klamath is a vast array of mountains, streams, lakes, and, at elevations ranging from 450 to 8,900 feet, is home to diverse plant life and nearly 400 animal species. The partially shaded campground sits at an elevation of 5,800 feet.
Nearby Attractions
Trinity Alps Wilderness, Russian Wilderness and the Pacific Crest Trail all are nearby and offer hiking and horseback riding opportunities.
From Callahan, CA, take County Road 93 west towards Cecilville. Drive 12 miles and turn left at the sign for Hidden Horse and Carter Meadows. Hidden Horse is less than 2 miles down the road, on your left.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 9.3 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
