Lane Creek

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Seven gravel sites spread along Lane Creek provide straightforward camping access from Highway 244. The US Forest Service maintains vault toilets and picnic tables at each site, with fire rings for evening campfires. Most sites accommodate RVs up to 20 feet, though one reviewer noted a single site can handle larger rigs up to 35 feet.

Campers should pack water and plan for pack-out waste service, as the campground provides neither. The town of Ukiah sits about eight miles west and offers an RV dump station at the municipal park. Forest roads branch out from the campground area, creating opportunities for elk hunting and backcountry exploration during the Memorial Day through November season.

Peaceful & Quiet

Stayed here in the off season. Still plenty of snow on the ground, and was the only one there for the night. Pit toilets were accessible and clean. Would have happily stayed longer if it was later in the season!
