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. For parking
purposes, trailers are considered vehicles.
CHECKOUT TIME Checkout time is 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 p.m. to 6 a.m.
FIRES AND FIREWOOD Please be cautious
when building fires—wildfire danger is especially
high during the summer. Fires are allowed 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 recy-
cle back into the ecosystem. You may purchase
firewood at the Entrance Station and Camp Host
Site. The sale of firewood provides funds for the
Mendocino Area Park Association. These funds
support interpretive programs in the park.
SPEED LIMIT Though the maximum speed
limit is 15 mph, when pedestrians, bicyclists and
children are present, even 15 mph might be too
fast. Use good judgement.
