Wet weather may make roads very difficult but they should dry out quickly. There are many campgrounds in the area with varying facilities. Public campgrounds are indicated on USFS maps. Informal camping is allowed on USFS and BLM lands, but be careful with fire. You may also check with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection at your local office.
Commercial facilities are available at most towns in the area.
Please do not camp at springs or other water sources that are important to livestock and wildlife. You may not see many deer from the roads here. Getting near them may require some hiking. Binoculars or a spotting scope are helpful in locating and identifying deer. Almost all the deer in this zone are black-tailed deer of the East Tehama herd.
