Relaxed little campground in Mendocino National Forest. No hookups, so less RVs than some places, but still a few generators going. It's on Lake Pillsbury, and has boat ramp access so was popular with jetskiers and boaters. There's a few campground around the lake so none were full even in the middle of summer - it's a gravel road going out there so that may dissuade some. They're managed by PG&E oddly. Clean and safe and really, really warm - it stayed over 100F until around 6pm. The elk that live in the flat make some noise in the night, which is hilarious and weird until you're used to it. 4/5 stars because while it was great, it was hard to find any good hikes to do. There's no trail maps available (and no rangers) so get those ahead of time. You need AWD to get around on many of the roads, certainly up Hull Mountain (where the hang gliders were), though you could probably get to the beginning of the Bloody Rock trail with most cars. There were lots of trails that looked good for OHV vehicles so between that and the lake it seems to attract more people into dirtbikes and jetskis than hikers. Plenty of families though. Some yellow jackets and mosquitoes but not as bad as many places. I would definitely go back sometime but would plan out some hikes better ahead of time. And make sure to bring an AWD vehicle.
