"I was lucky enough to spend four nights here last winter. It was breezy and rained on and off. The walk in sites are secluded and this park has all the amenities including free showers."
"This was a nice campground very close to the beach. Great place to take kids. The RV spaces were very tight and close together."
$55 - $155 / night
"We spent 4 nights here with our travel trailer. We had a site with full hook ups, including sewage (no need for dumping station!!). This is a great campground that is right on the beach!"
"Pull throughs seemed a little tight, but all back-ins were spacious. Very clean grounds. Clean bathrooms and the dish washing area was nice to get the big junks off your pans :). "
$37 - $42 / night
"Located next to Pomo Bluffs Park and over looking the ocean and the Noyo River/Bay. Stayed 6 days in November paid $250. Full hook ups with cable."
"Nice place to camp with a lots of hiking trails, very well managed. The one that stand more, is the wonderful ocean view."
$30 / night
"Woodside RV Park in Fort Bragg may not be the most luxurious but it’s quiet and clean. I rated 5 star due to the kindness and hospitality of the hosts - Dan and his daughter, Phyllis."
$35 / night
"This is a rare first come, first serve public campground in the Fort Bragg/Mendocino area. No water and pit toilets are offset by wide open ocean views."
"Good spot while driving the coast to stay for a night or two. Vaulted toilets. No trees or privacy. Directly on the bluffs and the collapsing old hwy 1."
"Showed us how to hook everything and he even started a fire for us. The other half of the park has permanent residents. The few people that we ran into were very friendly."
"Well maintained, nice facility and friendly staff. Definitely wouldn’t come back for long term camping as we have older teenagers. The facility is definitely geared toward families with smaller kids."
"The Mendocino redwoods RV resort just outside of Willits on CA-20 to Fort Bragg, California, was 3 years ago a KOA resort."
"The road coming into Usal is a pretty messed up mountain road thanks to the fact that it's also used by logging trucks."
"The road itself is rough and could be very unsettling for anyone trying to do this trip in a vehicle without good off-road clearance. The ruts can be big and cause bottoming out of street cars."
"The site we are on is located between a marina and the Noyo River. It allows for easy access for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and seals, sea lions and other wildlife."
"Full hook ups only. Just in land enough to be out of the wind and warm"
$50 - $73 / night
"Pomo is a great campground just a couple miles from the center of Fort Bragg. We stayed in spot 12 (full hookup) and the ATT service was pretty non existent."
"I picked site 47 out of the three that were left when I was searching for a place near Fort Bragg."
TravelerWe love this place. We've been here for 2 months now off and on. The site we are on is located between a marina and the Noyo River. It allows for easy access for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and seals, sea lions and other wildlife. Last night a 6 point deer walked past our site. The rates are pretty reasonable and the people that run the campgrounds are great to work with. There is a kayak/sup rental as well next door. If you're lucky the maintenance guy will sing or whistle while doing his work, and makes for a good show! It does close down except for long-term use in the winter time (November-??) due to coastal seasonal flooding. Internet can be occasionally spotty but we use AT&T and Verizon which work well. Cable is provided. Full hook ups. Due to Covid enquire about the bathroom situation when calling to book. Walking distance from the harbor and a quick bike ride to the bluffs overlooking the ocean.
GuideGreat location close to the beach, close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg. The problem is that the spaces are very narrow, especially if you have slide outs which means that your neighbor's sewer hose is next to your door. A lot of very short spaces also which makes it worse. Poorly maintained hookups. Not too clean either.
GuideBeautiful location, campground was easily accessible going up Elk Mountain Road. Camped in Site 11, pull through, no hook ups, nice picnic table, grill and fire pit. Vault toilets, no showers. There is potable water close to the campsites. Very quiet during the week, it did get noisier on the weekends, but everyone settled down for the evening.
GuideThis campground is across the street from the coastal beach and just south of Fort Bragg, CA.
Reservations can be made and are a good idea as this is a very popular campground. There are bathrooms with flush toilets and paid showers. Plenty of hiking or biking can be down through the pygmy forest. Coastal fishing can also be done nearby. It is cold year-round, so come prepared for wet, coastal weather.
Sites include a food storage cabinet, table, and fire pit. The campground is a short walk from the beach and there are plenty of nearby cities for food or other forgotten essentials.
GuideWe spent 4 nights here with our travel trailer. We had a site with full hook ups, including sewage (no need for dumping station!!). This is a great campground that is right on the beach! It has showers, flushing toilets, a little store, fire wood for sale, dish washing station, and even WiFi! The campground was very clean and really perfect for families! Couldn’t recommend more!
LegendWe stayed one night here in early October, after exploring the Mendocino area on a campervan road trip. Campsite was quiet and secluded, lots of trees so was pretty quiet and private. Clean bathrooms, drinking water was right next to our site. There were hiking trails right nearby, but sadly we arrived fairly late and were leaving the next morning so we didn't get to do much exploring. Area was pretty damp so a little chilly because of that. there were giant yellow banana slugs all over, which was pretty neat to see. Site had a picnic table and fire ring. Lots of open sites when we arrived (mid week in early Fall), no reservation needed. Convenient to explore Mendocino/Fort Bragg area, we took a walk around Mendocino and visited the glass beach. I would like to go back and explore the hiking there!

GuideWe decided to take a last minute camping trip to Fort Bragg in the middle of December. All the state campgrounds were closed. The private campgrounds were slow to respond. This one responded and even told us that we might be able to find a cheaper place. We decided not to keep looking, but to go ahead and lock our reservation in. The cost was somewhere around $50 per night, if I remember correctly. The place could be easy to miss driving down the road: the campground is located behind the campground store. There was a lower area and and upper area. There was no one in the lower area and we think he put us in the best spot in the upper area, site #10. There were a few long terms there, but they were pretty much invisible. The water pressure was a little weak and we did not need a regulator in the line. There were two WiFi signals in the campground, but we did better via cell phone signal. (AT&T). We checked out some other campgrounds in the area, but they were pretty crowded and cramped. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Fort Bragg.
GuideWe stopped here overnight on our way up the coast. Well maintained, nice facility and friendly staff. Definitely wouldn’t come back for long term camping as we have older teenagers. The facility is definitely geared toward families with smaller kids. It was great for what we needed.
TravelerThe Mendocino redwoods RV resort just outside of Willits on CA-20 to Fort Bragg, California, was 3 years ago a KOA resort. The overall facility is still in fairly good shape but you can see the results of the pandemic and a little bit lack of effort on maintaining various things with inside the facility. Not to get me wrong, it's still a very nice resort but the new affiliation that they've decided to go with needs to step it up a little bit otherwise it will go into disrepair and short order. After traveling recently to a very high-end KOA resort, I can assess and compare between the two locations very quickly. I think it is a very wonderful location with a lot of wonderful things to do and activities within an hour's drive of it, I just wish they would do a little bit more to start bring it up to the level that it once was.
