Modoc Back Roads
Best to get a week off of work, tune up that vehicle & go! Modoc is the uncrowded territory in the far north east corner of the state. Rivers, Ranches & plenty of space!! After the long drive to get up here you will just wanna spend it relaxing near a creek, fishing, driving dirt roads exploring & soaking in the nature. This place has it all.. from country meadow to raging water.
Modoc Campgrounds
These sites are among the smallest & most remote in the area. The campgrounds located closest to highways usually fill up fast & can attract all types of campers. For the seclusion, head a few miles off the main roads & enjoy the silence.
