Last Updated: February 21, 2026

Kamook Staging Area in the Lassen National Forest, California, offers primitive dispersed camping with no established campsites, reservations, or fees.


Summary

Permits are not required for camping, but campfire permits are needed for open flames. There are no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups—completely undeveloped. Set in a quiet, forested area near Lake Davis and the Beckwourth Peak Trail, it provides a remote, back-to-nature experience ideal for horseback riders, hikers, and OHV users. Best visited in late spring through early fall, the area offers serene pine forest scenery and access to scenic trails. Come prepared for self-sufficient, Leave-No-Trace camping.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
