No Man's Trail Head

There’s tons of free dispersed camping in Klamath National Forest, but the camping near the No Mans Trailhead—16 miles outside the town of Happy Camp—is among the best, thanks to its access to the Clear Creek National Recreation Trail. The trail offers incredible views of picturesque Siskyou Wilderness in its 22-mile course along Clear Creek to Young’s Valley. No services exist at the trailhead, so plan to pack out garbage and bring all your own water.

This is the trailhead for the Clear Creek National Recreation Trail and follows Clear Creek approximately 22 miles, all the way to Young's Valley. This trail provides visitors with spectacular views of the Siskiyou Wilderness. Originally built in 1928, this trail served many years as a fire access trail. There are several creek crossings on this trail that may be dangerous during periods of high water. Rattlesnakes are common between No Mans Trailhead and Trout Camp.

No wilderness permits are required for day or overnight stays in the Siskiyou Wilderness. A current California Campfire Permit is required to use a camp stove, barbecue or have a campfire. Local fire restrictions supersede the campfire permit. Inquire at the Ranger Station before having a fire.

Water and garbage service are not provided. Bring enough water for drinking, cooking and washing as well as extra water to drown campfires each day. Please take all trash, garbage, fish guts and dog droppings with you when you leave. Dogs on leash only in parking lot and developed areas.
