Mendocino Woodlands State Park

Mendocino Woodlands State Park encompasses 720 acres of dense forest with redwood trees, ferns, and glades along the Little North Fork of Big River.

The Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park in 1938 as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives for public recreation.

The park stands as an example of National Park Service rustic architecture, with structures built from local materials that integrate into the natural landscape.

Three private group camping areas accommodate 30 to 200 people, each featuring equipped kitchens, dining halls, cabins, showers, and restroom facilities.

This park remains the sole Recreation Demonstration Area built in California and the only such facility situated within a redwood forest environment.
