About
General Campgrounds & Trailheads is an informational landing page for the Mendocino National Forest, not an actual camping facility. It serves as a policy guide for visitors planning to camp at one of the forest's many developed campgrounds or dispersed camping areas. The page outlines key forest-wide regulations including the California Campfire Permit requirement for fires outside developed recreation areas, the pack-it-in/pack-it-out waste policy at many campgrounds, and pet regulations requiring leashes at developed sites. The Mendocino National Forest spans approximately 927,650 acres of mountains, canyons, and foothills in Northern California. Visitors seeking actual camping should look for specific campgrounds within the forest such as those available on Recreation.gov or individual USFS campground pages. The forest offers options ranging from developed sites with facilities to primitive dispersed camping areas.
Directions
From Willows, CA, take Forest Highway 7 north for approximately 35 miles. Turn right onto Forest Road 22N11 and continue for about 2 miles to reach the campground.
