This is a seven site, undeveloped campground. Norcross is located 16 miles up Elk Creek Road and provides access to the Marble Mountain Wilderness Area. This is an undeveloped campground with six sites, stock corrals and wheelchair access. Of the many floods that inundated Happy Camp, the 1964 flood was the most memorable. The whole historic downtown area was under water.
Fire is also one of the many natural occurrences residents endure on a regular basis.
The 1987 fires began on August 30, when 838 bolts of lightening struck the forest. The resulting inferno burned 258,000 acres. All the tiny river towns were surrounded, and the dense smoke created an inversion layer that obscured the entire forest. It was so dark that street lights stayed on 24 hours a day. The mouth of Indian Creek is an easy access and favorite launch site for rafters and driftboats.
