About
Grizzly Flat is a dispersed camping area next to the Yuki Wilderness. It has vault toilets, few fire rings and no picnic tables. The campground is in a coniferous pine/spruce forest and is a relatively cool temperature camping site. RV trailers are not recommended. It is not paved, and there is no real loop for a turn around. The area was the old Grizzly Flat Fire Station. Located off of M1 heading south from Eel River towards Lake Pillsbury. Campgrounds are on the left hand side of the road. There is a fenced grassy area that is being maintained for restoration purposes, and visitors should not camp there.
