Nadelos Campground is the most easily accessible BLM campground in the southern portion of the King Range National Conservation Area. A short, two-mile drive from Shelter Cove Road, Nadelos is located ten minutes from downtown Shelter Cove. Thick forest, lush moss and a trickling creek make this a beautiful selection for those looking for overnight basics and easy access to hiking trails. Be sure to check current weather conditions and be aware of low hanging branches or dead trees that can fall during high winds. 

Entire campground may be reserved for overnight group use for $85 per night. Minimum number of people in group is 20, and maximum group number is 60. All applications and fees must be received 30 days prior to the first use day. To request a permit application please call the BLM King Range Visitor Center at 707-986-5400. No group reservations are available Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July weekend or Labor Day weekend.
