Mendocino National Forest

Overview

Perched 1,700 feet above sea level in the expanse of the Mendocino National Forest, the Gray Pine Group Camp is a beautiful recreation oasis for large groups and parties.

Recreation

Mendocino National Forest's 913,306 acres of mountains and canyons offer a variety of recreational opportunities, including horseback riding, hiking, backpacking, boating, fishing and hunting, nature study and off-highway vehicle riding. Whether it's deer, birds, rabbits, chipmunks or perhaps the occasional bear, wildlife viewing is always a popular activity for visitors. The area is also an extremely popular destination during hunting season.

Facilities

Gray Pine Group Camp offers traditional camping and can hold up to 75 guests comfortably.

Natural Features

The Mendocino National Forest, California's only national forest that is not crossed by a paved road, straddles the eastern spur of the Coastal Mountain Range in northwestern California, just a three-hour drive north of San Francisco and Sacramento. Sprinkled throughout the dense green forest are several lakes, offering visitors additional recreational opportunities against a stunning backdrop.

Nearby Attractions

Popular OHV riding trails are easily accessible from the campground. Visit www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino for more information.

Lots of Room for Lots of RVs

We arrive on Presidents Day Weekend not knowing it was a OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) event. There were a lot of law enforcement types there who told us it was going to be a wild weekend.

The hillsides have multiple trails with different skill levels. The people we spoke with were impressed with the options and glad that this area did not burn in 2021.

We did not stay (at their recommendation) but the campground had plenty of room for everyone. The facilities were in good order and clean.
