Go if

Hunters, wildlife photographers, and anglers who want a free base camp near Twin Ponds fish stocking and the Bridge Creek elk viewing area. The sites stay uncrowded even when all six are taken, and Ukiah is only 7 miles out for resupply.

Skip if

No potable water on-site means you haul everything in yourself. The access road is genuinely rough and has turned back reviewers with standard vehicles. Fall hunting season also brings bold squirrels that have gotten into gear left out at night.
