About this campground
Tucked away in the heart of Mendocino National Forest, Green Springs Campground offers an intimate escape with just four secluded sites. This hidden gem provides the perfect basecamp for adventurers seeking solitude and direct access to pristine wilderness trails. Each site comes equipped with a fire ring where stories are shared under starlit skies, while the campground's prime location offers immediate access to hiking trails that wind their way into the spectacular Yolla Bolly Wilderness.
Green Springs Campground is a small, primitive campground with a focus on providing access to wilderness areas. It has 4 camping sites and is suitable for visitors looking for a rustic and basic camping experience.
Weather and SeasonsWinter transforms Green Springs into a crystalline wonderland, where temperatures plunge and blankets of snow create a hushed, magical landscape. Early in the year, the campground experiences a dramatic dance between snow and rain, creating ever-changing conditions that appeal to hardy winter campers and mark the transition toward spring's eventual arrival.
ElevationPerched at 4,400 feet above sea level, Green Springs Campground offers a refreshing retreat from valley heat. This mountain elevation delivers crisp, pine-scented air and spectacular panoramic vistas that stretch across forested ridgelines. The higher altitude ensures naturally cooler temperatures, making summer camping particularly pleasant while offering stunning sunrise and sunset views across the surrounding wilderness.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the cathedral-like grandeur of Mendocino National Forest, where towering pines create a natural sanctuary and sunlight filters through ancient branches. The campground serves as your personal gateway to untamed wilderness, where diverse wildlife roams freely through verdant undergrowth. From your campsite, watch for deer grazing in nearby meadows, listen to the symphony of forest birds, and breathe in the intoxicating blend of pine, cedar, and wildflower fragrances that define this pristine mountain ecosystem.
