Hedrick Pond Campground

Site 7 sits directly alongside a creek that flows through this first-come, first-serve campground within Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection manages the property, providing daily trash pickup and vault toilet maintenance. The terrain includes stepped areas that require some physical effort to navigate between campsites.

A regularly stocked trout pond draws anglers, though fishing success varies. Drive-in and walk-in access options accommodate different camping preferences. Standard amenities include drinking water, picnic tables, and campfire rings, with pets and alcohol permitted throughout the grounds.

Nice time

We half set up at 2 different sites before finding what we feel is one of the better sites...#7. Going up and down the “steps” got a little challenging for us out of shape oldsters but it was a beautiful site right on a creek that runs through the campground. It was also right across from the vault toilet. CalFire came through daily and picked up the trash and put chemicals in the toilets. So the smell wasn’t noticeable until late in the day. There is a pond that is regularly stocked with trout. Hubby didn’t catch any but others were. All in all a nice little campground. First come, first serve.
