Mendocino County
From Recreation.gov
**Campground Closed Indefinitely:** Bushay Campground is currently closed until further notice. Changes to water management in 2020 have resulted in high lake levels, flooding the access road for up to five months during the peak camping season. We are exploring potential solutions to restore access in the future. For camping opportunities at Lake Mendocino, please see [Kyen Campground][1] or Miti Boat-In Campground.
