Hike-in access puts Grizzly Flat Dispersed Campground well off the road grid in Mendocino National Forest, north of Covelo in the California Coast Ranges. The site is free, with toilets on-site and open terrain. One visitor noted significant wildfire damage in the area, with a large portion of surrounding forest left charred, and also reported multiple bear sightings along the trail in. This campground makes sense for self-sufficient hikers who are comfortable with active wildlife and fire-scarred landscapes.
