Description
The Mendocino Woodlands was built in the 1930’s by the Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps as part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal Projects. 46 of these Recreation Demonstration Areas were built in the United States with the Woodlands being the only one built in California, the only one built in a Redwood forest, and one of only two built west of the Rockies. The Woodlands is the only New Deal-era Recreation Demonstration Area that has continuously served its original purpose (group camping and outdoor education) uninterrupted and virtually unaltered since opening in 1938.
within traditional Pomo territory near the village site Bu’ldam, Mendocino Woodlands National Historic Landmark State Park is a year-round group camping facility and environmental education center nestled in the heart of the Redwood Forest, just Northeast of the town of Mendocino.
A 720-acre park, the Woodlands offers 3 private group cabin camping areas (accommodating groups of 30 to 200) each with a large, well-equipped kitchen, dining hall, cabins, showers and bathrooms. While these cabin areas are reserved for our campers our many trails are open to the public for hiking and mountain biking.

This place is very pretty and has alot of infrastructure and facilities. Directions on the website say gps nav won’t get you there but Google maps will get you to the turn off. Then its another few miles down a decent dirt road.

I went here in 7th grade and had an absolutely traumatizing time. Facilities were barely clean, the mattresses in the cabins were disgusting, there was a condom in our juice one night, and they basically made us t
do child labor. Horrible, horrible place.

We have been to the Woodlands multiple times, not only to DJ weddings but also to attend camps ourselves – this summer will be our fifth attending Lark Camp as a family! The Woodlands is the most amazing venue, and a little piece of heaven on earth. Photos don’t do it justice, you have to see it to believe it. Just remember extra flashlights, and that even in the summer it cools off at night, so extra blankets are helpful!

Nothing but good things to say. The staff are cordial and attend the camp well. The sites are clean and amazing in what they are. I both cook and camp here and have done so going on eight years now. I adore this place and it’s staff. The only thing that I would appreciate would change would be to bring the water level in the toilets down.
They are and have been for years in water ration; having the water level lower in the toilets keeps the splash low. It’s more of an American toilet problem but lowering the levels is helpful to the user.
Otherwise camping here is magical.. When you walk into these woods, the woods literally walk into you… Enjoy your stay!
