About
Atchison Campground is a small, primitive campground located in the Mendocino National Forest at 3,900 feet elevation. The campground contains 3 designated campsites with six fire rings and 10 picnic tables scattered among mature oak and pine trees. The secluded setting provides a quiet escape with plenty of available firewood in the surrounding area. Visitors should note that no potable water is available at the campground; however, a stream with a spring pipe can be accessed by continuing 2.6 miles east on the forest road. The campground is accessed off Forest Highway 7 via Road 22N11 and requires no fees for camping. While vault toilets are present, they are not maintained during the winter months when the campground is officially closed. The access road provides excellent opportunities for hiking and biking due to minimal vehicle traffic. The remote location and lack of amenities make this campground best suited for self-sufficient campers seeking solitude in a forested mountain setting.
Directions
Off Forest Highway 7 on Road 22N11. Located in Section 24, Township 22N, Range 10W.
