#9 - Walk into Forest

Beautiful property and easy to find the campsite. We were in #9 which was a little set back and offered a good amount of privacy from other sites. There was a water spigot very close and newly constructed bathrooms and porta potties within a few hundred yards. We did not have any contact with our camp hosts but did purchase firewood at the self serve kiosk and found the campsite in good shape except for some litter in and around the firepit which we picked up and packed out with us. The new bathrooms appeared to be finished but required a code to unlock which were not given so we used the porta potties that were nearby. This is a great stay over spot for Mendocino/Fort Bragg adventures.

#10 - Sunny Spot

The location was so beautiful! We arrived pretty late (in the dark) but could still easily find our site and had plenty of space to set up.
