★★★★★Omar ThorntonWent here when I was little. My love a camper, Archery, fishing, taking kids sport team camping to connect better all came from this camp. Thank you for the memories.
★★★★★Ansi TaingWow! Camp Mendocino is an amazing venue. We were here for a wedding, and it was absolutely stunning and unforgettable. The campgrounds, charming cabins and lodges provided a wonderful atmosphere. We were also impressed by the food (might have been a bit elevated for the wedding weekend) and the variety of fun activities offered, like archery, zip-lining, arts and crafts, and rock climbing. All was perfect for disconnecting from everyday life. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. They were all so helpful and friendly. It's also conveniently located within a little over a 3-hour drive from San Francisco. Highly recommend! We hope to visit again. Driving tip: Google maps will instruct you to take Rd 200A when the road to camp is actually down Rd 200! See photo.

★★★★★CinderelliIf I could give more stars I would. We recently attended my son's wedding at Camp Mendocino. The staff were outstanding and so personable and made their wedding dreams come to life. There were so many activities and areas to explore. It was a fun, unique and memorable wedding and event space I will never forget.
★★★★★J VI loved going to Camp Mendocino. A lot of people from San Francisco went there as kids. I went every summer, so did my cousins.
