About

Sugarfoot Glade Campground is a small, primitive campground located approximately 65 miles west of Red Bluff in the remote western portion of Mendocino National Forest. The campground features 8 campsites nestled among mature oak trees and ponderosa pines, offering a tranquil setting for tent camping and smaller RVs. A small creek flows through the campground during the early season, typically drying up by late summer. The campground provides vault toilets but no potable water, so campers must bring their own. There are no fees required to camp at Sugarfoot Glade, and sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. The campground is typically closed during winter months due to snow and road conditions. Access is via forest roads that may not be suitable for larger trailers, particularly when approaching from Trough Ridge or Little Stony Road. Campers should be prepared for primitive conditions and pack out all trash, as there is no garbage service.

Directions

Located approximately 65 miles west of Red Bluff. From Paskenta, travel west on Forest Road 23N01 to Forest Road 24N01. Turn left, pass Kingsley Glade Campground, and continue to Sugarfoot Glade Campground.
