Little Creek flows through this area. There's so much to do here at Crea Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Blackberry Patch RV Park is a magnificent location for that.
If you're here at Crea Trail, you could check out Brown Creek, and there are some brilliant whitewater spots on Klamath River.
