About this campground

Dillon Creek Campground sits along Dillon Creek within a mixed hardwood and conifer forest at about 1,780 feet elevation, with the Klamath River running alongside the site and providing much of the area's pull. The campground is in northern California on State Route 96 roughly 60 miles north of Willow Creek or about 86 miles southwest from I-5 near Happy Camp giving relatively direct access to the Klamath and nearby Salmon River corridors.

How far ahead to book Dillon Creek Campground

For July weekends, book about 88 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 24 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May16 days ahead40 days ahead——
June18 days ahead62 days ahead29 days ahead76 days ahead
July24 days ahead88 days ahead43 days ahead135 days ahead
August32 days ahead80 days ahead23 days ahead88 days ahead
September22 days ahead30 days ahead29 days ahead65 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,109 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
