About
Oak Flat Campground is a rustic 12-site facility located on Lake Pillsbury, the largest lake in Mendocino National Forest at 2,280 acres with 31 miles of shoreline. The campground provides access to excellent fishing and boating opportunities, as well as nearby off-highway vehicle trails. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring/stove, with food storage lockers available to protect supplies from wildlife. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required. Summer season rates (May 21 through September) are $10 per night, while winter rates drop to $5 per night. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out is at 11:00 a.m., with quiet hours enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Sites accommodate up to 6 people and 2 vehicles. The campground can accommodate trailers up to 50 feet in length. Facilities include vault toilets and drinking water from faucets during summer months, though water is shut off in winter to prevent pipe damage. The Lake Pillsbury basin prohibits OHV activity from May 18 through September 8 annually to protect tule elk during calving season.
