Soup Springs
Campground
Modoc National
Forest
- Warner Mountain Ranger District
The Soup
Springs camp is located at the base of the Warner Range
at the edge of the South Warner Wilderness near the
ranch community of Jess Valley. The nearest
services are available in the small community of Likely,
approximately 30 minutes away.
Soup Springs
is popular with backpackers and pack horse trippers
heading into the South Warner Wilderness. In fact,
there is a significant horse corral/pack station located
at this campground.
If I had to
describe the campground proper in one word, it'd be green.
It's in dense forest next to a vibrant
green meadow. At least it was really green
when I visited it in May. But what
isn't green in May? The vividness may wane as the dry
summer goes on.
It's a simple camp
set up in one loop. Access roads and camp road are
gravel. A trail leads out of camp into
the South Warner Wilderness. This place
is pretty remote, but there are people who
come out here. Crowding is not a significant issue
though. Reviewed 05/1997.
