Red Mountain/Cow Mountain

This location was 6 miles from civilization down a windy road, then up a mountain side. If you like driving off road then the trip would be worth it, especially if you plan to stay a while. Ultimate seclusion, with normal camping accommodations. Toilets are vault, no flush but clean. The area was hit by the fire but regrowing. Paradise if you have ATVs etc. Cool spot off the beaten path.

Red Mountain Campground at South Cow Mountain

Worth the 4x4 trek to the campground. There is a "million dollar" view of the mountain range and Clearlake. They have bathroom facilities that could be cleaner, but I suggest that you bring your own. You should bring a solar shower and water to drink and cook with, as there is none. You can stay 14 days out of the year for free. Be mindful of the environment.

Siteno marked site numbers.
