Small campground that survived the Mendocino National Forest fire. You need a hardy vehicle to get into this location. Great place to camp if you want to ride your dirt bike on the trails from the campground.
Simple little campsite among the trees (the shade was welcome in the heat). Definitely appreciated the heavy duty concrete picnic tables. Unfortunately no water but did have vault toilets. Well worth the $6/night (paid by check in the on-site drop box…oddly the instructions said “make check out to” followed by, well, nothing. I wrote US Forest Service.)
We came up here to go to Lower Nye Campground and took the south way in but 2 miles from the campground a massive tree was blocking our way. So we doubled back and came here to Deer Valley and it was perfect, no one else was there, the campsites are huge and, it was just beautiful. I would camp here again for sure.
Far away from everything except of course our federal government…ticketing people for riding dirtbikes on the dirt where less than 01% of the public has ever gone! They enforce all traffic laws on roads with coordinates as names. But big enough to ditch them fast with a finger….not their “pointer” finger either!
Up in the hills, 6 sites, dry camping. Very nice camping among the trees. Road is dirt and for the most part, fine and level. Watch when it rains as dirt turns to slippery mud will cause problems. I used 4wd and needed it several times. If dry, shouldn’t be a problem. Jeeps, ORV will come through as it’s a pretty drive. 1-bar Verizon sometimes. No ATT phone.
