About
Three Prong Campground offers a remote camping experience in the higher elevations of Mendocino National Forest. At 5,800 feet, the campground is nestled among fir and pine trees along the edge of a large meadow, providing a peaceful setting away from developed areas. The free, first-come first-served campground requires no reservations and has no fees. Facilities are basic, with vault toilets and picnic tables at each site. There is no potable water on-site, so campers must bring an adequate supply. The campground is located 25 miles west of Paskenta via Forest Roads M-2, 24N01, and 24N13. Due to the high elevation, access roads may be impassable during winter months and are not plowed. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. A 14-day camping stay limit applies within any 30-day period, with no more than 28 cumulative days in any 12-month period.
Directions
From Paskenta, take Road M-2 to Road 24N01, then turn right on Road 24N13 to the campground. Located 25 miles west of Paskenta and 60 miles west of Red Bluff.
