Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mendocino National Forest
Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections for RVs year-round. The resort accommodates larger motorhomes with big-rig friendly sites and offers multiple pull-through options. "The facility is definitely geared toward families with smaller kids. It was great for what we needed," noted one visitor who stayed overnight while traveling up the coast. Additional RV accommodations include The Aurora RV Park & Marina in Nice with lakeside spots that feature electric, water, and sewer hookups, though spaces are tightly configured with limited maneuvering room between units. Westport Beach RV Park provides oceanside RV camping with full hookups including electric, water and sewer connections.
For RV travelers approaching from the west, road access presents challenges on windy routes. "To get to clear lake from the west the road is very windy and only allows 34 feet and I think that is pushing it," according to one RV owner's experience. Dump stations are available at most established RV parks in the region, including Redwood Empire Fair RV Park in Ukiah, which offers full hookup sites for $37 with discounts. Cell service varies dramatically throughout the area, with Golden Rule RV Park reporting excellent T-Mobile coverage but limited service for other carriers. During summer months, advance reservations are strongly recommended as lakeside and forest-adjacent parks fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply regarding size, breed, or number of animals.
