The Best Camping Near Stonyford, California

Just a short drive from the main road into the Mendocino National Forest. You don’t need four-wheel-drive to get here. Clean camping that’s paved as well there nice stream next to the campground full of turtles, crawfish and ducks. Be aware that this campground is mainly used by dirtbike riders but not much of a bother. All around a great place to camp as well there are no water or trash services here so be sure to pack in and pack out￼

Great place 

People leave their trash everywhere. People let their dogs run lose, and were loud. I doubt most of these people even paid. Anyways beautiful place if people respected it. Drive was nice, most people do not have cell service. A lady flipped her quad and was life flighted out so.... my quiet weekend was a bust.... I'd come back if people cleaned up after themselves and respected others . I was afraid to let my dog out because the lady had no control on her off leash pitbull.. that's why dogs have bad reps because of irresponsible people like this.
