How to get to Kidder Creek
[Google Map]
We are located two hours northwest of Redding, or about one hour south of the California-Oregon border, just off I-5, in a heavenly place called Scott Valley.
To drive to Kidder Creek, follow I-5 to Yreka and take the Hwy. 3 exit toward Fort Jones/Etna (south). If you are heading northbound on I-5, this is the first exit in Yreka. If you are southbound on I-5, this is the last exit in Yreka (3rd exit). On Hwy. 3 head southwest over forest mountain and then through Fort Jones. Go 6 more miles. Just past Greenview (don't blink or you'll miss gas station), over the Kidder Creek Bridge (not a big one) and then immediately turn right on South Kidder Creek Road. Go 2.7 miles to the end of the road and follow the signs to the camp.
