Our Take

What makes Letts Lake Campground special

Letts Lake Campground is the kind of place that rewards those willing to venture off the beaten path. Nestled in the Mendocino National Forest of northern California, this first-come, first-served campground with 45 sites surrounds a small, serene lake that feels like a well-kept secret among locals and seasoned campers. The drive in on forest roads is part of the experience -- winding through oak woodlands and mixed conifer forest until you arrive at a mountain lake ringed by pine trees and quiet shoreline. Letts Lake is perfect for canoes, kayaks, and float tubes, with trout fishing that can be surprisingly good, especially in spring and early summer. A trail loops around the lake, offering an easy walk with views across the water and chances to spot osprey, herons, and the occasional bald eagle. The campground itself is spread across several loops, giving each site a sense of privacy and space. Because there are no reservations, arriving midweek or early in the day gives you the best shot at a prime lakeside spot. Nights are peaceful and dark, with minimal light pollution and the gentle sounds of the forest settling in around you. For campers seeking a low-key, unplugged getaway where the lake is steps from your tent and the crowds are somewhere else entirely, Letts Lake is a genuine treasure.
