About
North Fork Campground is a rustic, 10-site campground situated in an open grove of oak trees along a year-round stream in the Mendocino National Forest's Grindstone District. Located 10 miles west of Stonyford on Forest Road 18N03, this first-come, first-served facility serves as a convenient base camp for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts exploring the extensive OHV trail system in the Stonyford Recreation Area. The campground can accommodate trailers up to 30 feet and offers basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The adjacent stream provides fishing opportunities, particularly during winter and early spring when flows are at their peak. Campers can pay on-site using the Recreation.gov mobile app's Scan and Pay feature, though cellular service may be limited in this remote area. Visitors should note that all OHV riders must wear helmets and vehicles must be equipped with U.S. Forest Service approved spark arrestors. California Green or Red Sticker registration is required for off-highway vehicles. The Stonyford Work Center provides current trail conditions and closure information for the area.
