MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. — Plaskett Meadows Campground, located in western Glenn County on Forest Hwy 7, has reopened.

The campground was damaged in the 2020 August Complex fire and suffered additional damage during winter storms in recent years. 

Grindstone Ranger District staff have worked diligently to mitigate safety hazards, remove fallen trees and restore the campground for the public to enjoy.

Forest staff and contractors installed new fire rings, barriers and signs. 

Two campsites, No. 7 and No. 18, do not yet have picnic tables, but new tables will be installed soon. Water is available at the campground.

Additionally, the forest has started a new scan and pay option through recreation.gov at several first come, first serve campgrounds, including Plaskett Meadows. Cash and checks are also accepted.
