Lake Pillsbury Resort and Marina

Sitting on the eastern shore of Lake Pillsbury within Mendocino National Forest, this resort-style campground provides full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, along with token-operated showers and an on-site store. Sites are spacious, with water spigots at each one and bathrooms nearby. The lake draws swimmers and anglers, though the water runs warm and carries clay sediment, with algae present in some areas. Pets are welcome, and reservations are available. Those planning a trip can browse camping near Mendocino National Forest to compare nearby options, including Fuller Grove Group Campground about two miles north. Book ahead for summer weekends, when the lake sees heavier use.
