Quigley's Store & RV Park




















   Quigley's is Now Open!

Located right on the bank of the Klamath River one can find the historic Quigley's Store and RV Park!

As of 2020, there are new owners for Quigley's, and everything has been really improved!  Highly recommend you check it out, grab a beer sit on the deck, and enjoy the river!

While driving down the State of Jefferson Byway (California Hwy 96) one can find Quigley's Store and RV Park. This place is worth a stop even if you aren't ready to call it a day and find a place to camp. Walking inside the store is like a portal to the past, stepping on the oiled tongue and groove wooden floors, and a market that has a little bit of almost everything! The area was formerly visited by President Hoover as he was friends of the original owner, Willis Quigley. They also have a nice little Deli and great spot to eat out on the deck or cozy tables inside. One can find a light meal there for either Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner ~ if they are open food will be available. The summer months this place is frequently full, but still worth the stop.

If you are looking for a very casual, out of the way place to visit this might be just the ticket! Area attractions include the Klamath National Forest, not to mention the scenic Klamath River with fishing and rafting right at your doorstep. Nearby is a 9 hole golf course, a shooting range, and hunting in the area during appropriate seasons for bear, deer, turkey, and quail. Along the Klamath River, one can watch gold mining operations and learn the area's vast gold mining history.

The RV facilities include cable TV with hookups. There are laundry facilities, a horseshoe pit, a sandy beach along the river, with canoeing, rafting, and kayaking. Thirteen of the 20 RV sites are located along the river with access. The park has 20 amp electrical service, a comfort station, and the roads and sites are gravel. A typical site is 25' X 40' and can accommodate up to a 40' rig. Pets are allowed but must be on a leash.

Great tidbits of history can be found at Quigley's Store & RV Park small webpage, it is definitely worth a read!

  1. Hi Claudia, this is Doug at Marble Mountain Ranch. I have a special request for you to stock up on those nifty almonds flavored in wasabi/ginger, and the lime/chili version of the almonds. It will make my next stop for a soda even more satisfying. Good Luck in your marketing.

  5. My grandmother's maiden name was Quigley and she was raised in Siskiyou County. I'm wondering if the folks at this Quigley's are related to me. Her father was Thomas Quigley. His son, Thomas, had a ranch on the Klamath River in the early 1900's. I'm not famiiar with Willis Quigley but he could have been a cousin or uncle.....
