About this campground

Escape to the untamed wilderness at Surveyors Camp Campground, where true adventurers find solace in simplicity. This rustic retreat offers three primitive campsites, each equipped with a weathered picnic table that's witnessed countless campfire stories. Here, you'll experience camping as it was meant to be—no running water, no paved roads, just you and the raw beauty of nature. The dirt access roads and natural parking areas preserve the authentic wilderness experience, while the pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy ensures this hidden gem remains pristine for future explorers. Perfect for those seeking a genuine dry camping adventure far from the crowds.

Surveyors Camp Campground offers three dispersed campsites. These sites lack the amenities of a developed campground and require visitors to bring all necessary supplies.

Weather and SeasonsExperience nature's dramatic seasonal symphony at Surveyors Camp, where crystalline winter nights give way to sun-drenched summer days. The summer months transform this forest sanctuary into a camper's paradise, with endless blue skies, warm golden sunshine, and virtually no rain to dampen your outdoor adventures. While winter brings a frosty embrace that blankets the forest in serene stillness, the dry summer season from June through September offers ideal conditions for stargazing, hiking, and reconnecting with the wilderness under consistently clear skies.

Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the wild heart of Mendocino National Forest, where towering conifers create a natural cathedral and rugged terrain tells ancient geological stories. The campground sits amidst a landscape that epitomizes Northern California's untamed beauty—weathered rock formations, dense forest canopies filtering dappled sunlight, and the kind of pristine wilderness that has drawn nature lovers for generations. This is where the forest reveals its secrets to those patient enough to listen, from the whisper of wind through pine needles to the distant call of native wildlife.

Geological RegionNestled deep within the expansive Mendocino National Forest, Surveyors Camp occupies a special corner of Northern California's rugged backcountry. This dispersed camping area exemplifies the region's wild character, where ancient geological forces have sculpted a landscape of rolling hills, hidden valleys, and dense forest groves. The surrounding terrain offers endless opportunities for exploration, with the kind of unspoiled wilderness that makes Mendocino National Forest a cherished destination for those seeking authentic outdoor experiences away from developed campgrounds.
