Description

Located on the western slopes of the Mendocino National Forest, Eel River Campground lies at the junction of the Black Butte and the Middle Fork Eel Rivers. Sites are suitable for families, but just remember to pack out any trash. Life is good for everyone while splashing in swimming holes, breathing in the clean Northern California air, and watching the stars at night!

Beautiful location above the Eel River right on the edge of the Mendocino National Forrest. I would stay here to break up a drive but consider there to be nicer more secluded campsites deeper in the forrest.
