Mayacmas Campground

An amazing place, a paradise. Clean restroom, picnic table, and a fire ring. You need a 4×4 (not AWD) to get there. Bring plenty of water. Off-road driving time is about 1 hour from Ukiah (double google time). There are only two campgrounds.

The road up isn’t too rough. If you have a truck you will be fine even if it’s 2x4 like me. Just let air out of your tires. Nice secluded spot up in the mountain. No one but us was there. As of like June there is a fire restriction for this location but if you keep it small you probably won’t get caught. Website said there was trash cans but there isn’t any trash cans. Little trash bag in the vault toilet. It would suck if more people were here bc there was a camp sight lower than ours that ran through our sight. Overall, cool spot with no one there. Just bring everything you need bc it is primitive!

Been coming here over 15 years. Yes, it is very primitive, but that's part of why I love it here. There are 6 sites, although a couple kind of blend together. Bathroom usually clean and almost always has toilet paper. Super quiet up here with few people and some occasional small wildlife. Sites are usually clean, although there are occasional bad campers who leave a little trash. Occasionally you hear gunfire from the nearby outdoor range, but usually you are hearing people too lazy to follow the rules and keep the area clean - it has improved over the years

It's only about 13 miles from town but it takes almost 45 minutes to get there. The road is very rough and windy to say the least. Then when you get there good luck finding a level spot to set up. There is a restroom but no water. People do drive cars up here but I wouldn't recommend it. I stayed here for two weeks but I had a jeep and off road teardrop trailer it worked for me.

To the people that review this campground badly because you don't understand how to use Google Maps, this does not make it a bad campground. In fact this is one of my favorite campgrounds, probably because many of you can't seem to find it. Vichy Springs does NOT go there. There is a single road in from Mill Creek that takes you all the way there, and there are even signs. It's a primitive campground with drop toilets, no water. Weekdays, never seen more than one or two people here. Not as much OHV traffic. Follow directions for the Glen Eden Trailhead (WEST) if you're having issues.
