#3 - Grandma's Wild Woods

Mixed.

Meh. Overpriced. Rough, being developed. Pictures are nice but glamorize it, show it near water .. not. Quiet though (no one else there). #3 has high reviews, but it's right at the road, wide open.

Close walk to the beach

This site was great seems like more qork is beong done to the campground, a close walk to the beach was what made this site for us. We were the only campers , maybe its the time of the year ,but it looks like all the sites would be a good choice. I would definitely camp here again

#5 - Play in the Shade

Perfect spot to camp when passing through the Mendocino area. I would stay again. It was quiet and close to some great hikes/beach access across route 1. There is also a farm cat who came to say hello to me while I was cooking dinner.
