OCCUPANCY Eight people are allowed per
family campsite.
VEHICLE PARKING You may have only three
licensed pieces of equipment (including trailers
and vehicles) in each campsite. All motorized
vehicles are subject to fees. Call for information
on the extra vehicle charge. If your second or
third vehicle does not fit in the designated
parking area at the campsite, it must be parked
in the overflow area. For parking purposes,
trailers are considered vehicles.
CHECKOUT TIME Checkout time is 12 noon.
Please vacate your site by that time.
DOGS Dogs must be kept on a leash no
longer than six feet and under control at all
times. They are not permitted in buildings or on
most trails. Dogs must be confined to a vehicle
or tent from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
FIRES AND FIREWOOD Please be cautious
when building fires—wildfire danger is espe-
cially high during the summer. Fires are al-
lowed only in established fire rings or camp
stoves. Do not build ground fires outside the fire
rings or leave campfires unattended. Do not
gather firewood in the park—the nutrients must
be allowed to recycle back into the ecosystem.
You may purchase firewood at the Entrance
Station and Camp Host Site. The sale of fire-
wood provides funds for the Mendocino Area
Park Association. These funds are used to
support interpretive programs in the park.
