North Gerber Campground

North Gerber Campground provides access to Gerber Reservoir, a scenic high-desert water body located approximately 42 miles east of Klamath Falls near Haynesville. The facility sits on a vast plateau dotted with Ponderosa Pine forests and mountain ridges, offering a picturesque setting for paddling and boating. The campground is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and features a developed boat ramp along with amenities including potable water, restrooms, picnic tables, and fish cleaning stations.

**Practical Information:** Day-use fees are $2, with camping available for $7 per night (14-day maximum stay). Note that water levels fluctuate seasonally—check current conditions before visiting, as the water may be significantly below the ramp depending on the reservoir's fill level. The facility offers good access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats interested in fishing or recreational paddling. There is a second boat ramp at the Gerber Recreation Area if you need an alternative access point. For current conditions and information, contact 541-883-6916.
