Paradise Point - Our private riverside camp.
Each night of the river trips are spent at a spectacular riverside camp (at no additional cost!) Paradise Point is 20 acres and has one of the best beaches on the river. Enjoy the beach, volleyball, frisbee golf, fishing, horseshoes and riverfront camping.
We pride ourselves in the meals we provide and can guarantee you won't go home hungry. Our guides are not only competent on the river, but in the kitchen as well. One group claims they come back for just food! A typical dinner may include Teriyaki Chicken, rice, stir-fry veggies, salad, and cake for desert (cooked in the Dutch oven). |
Driving directions to Paradise Point:
FROM INTERSTATE 5 (I-5): From I-5, take the exit for Highway 96 for the Klamath River Highway (exit 786). Continue along the Klamath River Hwy (Hwy 96) for 63 miles until you reach the town of Happy Camp. This is the last remnant of civilization before Paradise Point (Gas, Food, reliable cell phone coverage, etc.) Set your odometer in Happy Camp, and continue on Hwy 96 as Paradise Point is 18 miles past Happy Camp. The turn for Paradise Point is exactly 0.9 miles past a sign for "Coon Creek River Access." Look for a small sign on the left and an open yellow gate. Follow the dirt road to the right until you reach the parking area. If you get to "Dillon Creek Campground" you've gone 3.5 miles too far.
NOTE: If traveling from I-5, north of Grants Pass in Oregon, taking Hwy 199, then "Grayback Rd" (as pictured in the map above) can take you directly to Happy Camp and save you about 30 min of driving time. Pleaese consult a more detailed map before taking Grayback Rd. (it also is a curvy road and not for those prone to motion sickness!).
FROM US 101 (NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL CITIES) From US 101, take the exit for CA-299 (toward Weaverville/Redding). Continue on CA-299 for 37 miles until you reach the town of Willow Creek (probably the best place to fill up on gas, snacks, and one of the last places with reliable cell phone coverage). From Willow Creek, set your odometer, and turn left onto Hwy 96 (Klamath River Hwy) and continue for just over 63 miles until you reach Paradise Point. As you get close, please slow down and look carefully on your right for an open yellow gate and the back of a small sign (the front of which will say Paradise Point). Paradise Point is located about 3.5 miles past "Dillon Creek Campground", and if you reach a sign for "Coon Creek River Access," you've gone 0.9 miles too far.
TRAVELING BY PLANE Medford, Oregon (a 2-hour drive from Paradise Point) is typically the best airport to fly into. Medford has variety of daily flights and often the most reasonable airfare and rental car options. Crescent City, Redding, and Arcata are alternate nearby options. For those willing to do a longer drive (or wanting to see more of the local attractions), San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, and Eugene all have major airports, and may offer less expensive airfare/ rental car options.
