South toward the Trinity Alps, Coffee Creek Campground and RV Park sits along Coffee Creek off Highway 3, and Trailer Lane Campground offers a small base for exploring the surrounding national forest.

Private RV parks in and around Etna, including Mountain Village RV Park, Waiiaka RV Park, Quigleys Station RV Park and General Store, Coffee Creek Campground and RV Park, and Trailer Lane Campground, are booked directly with the operator by phone or website. Summer weekends and PCT through-hiker season fill first, so reserve several weeks ahead. Public sites in the Klamath National Forest are managed through Recreation.gov, which lists 8 campgrounds and 1 permit area for the forest. Most national forest campgrounds use a rolling booking window that opens about six months before the arrival date, so book as early as possible for peak season. Many smaller forest campgrounds remain first-come, first-served. A California Campfire Permit, available free online, is required for any open flame outside a developed campground.
