Official Forest Service pageSarah Totten Campground
Hamburg was named in 1851 by Sigmond Simon, a German miner who prospered in the mercantile business at Scott Bar. Hamburg boasted a population of 5000 around 1880. Hamburg Postmaster Dan Caldwell built the old store west of the campground along the highway in 1859. Caldwell’s sister-in-law, Sarah Totten, operated the store/hotel until she died and it closed in 1930. Sarah owned property where the campground is located. She donated the land to the Forest Service on the condition they use it as a recreation area. It was named in her honor. Crumpled structures and rock foundations are all that remain of the Johnston’s Store, Bailey Post Office, and Bucket Of Blood Saloon. In Hamburg’s prime, these establishments catered to wealthy fly fishermen and sportsmen, including Zane Grey. **Sarah Totten downriver group camp site is closed for the season, effective October 17**
