Forest Service Road M1 provides access to this dispersed camping area within Mendocino National Forest, though recent burn scars and potential falling trees create hazards along the route. One reviewer recommends bringing a winch or chainsaw for clearing obstacles, particularly during adverse weather conditions. The road itself has challenging sections coming from Mendocino Pass Road that require careful navigation.
Campers should prepare for primitive conditions and potential road difficulties when accessing this remote spot. For those seeking established facilities, Howard Meadows Campground sits northeast of the area.
