Whether you are just visiting to get away from the city and soak up some of mother natures finest, or if you will be settling in for a few seasons -- we hope you will -- you might need to get out and stretch your legs once in a while. No matter which direction you go, there are plenty of great activities nearby, most within a short drive from Lakeview Haven RV Park.
In Blue Lakes
Across the street is a lodge with classy restaurant and a lounge (with a big-screen TV for the sports fan). A block away is a convenience store with a video rentals, foods, drinks, etc.
Other Lakes
Maybe you'd like to go water-skiing, or rent a jet ski. Lake Mendocino is not far away, northwest 20 minutes. They allow noisy ski boats, jet skis, et al. There are three camp grounds on that lake operated by Reserve America; however, they don't have any hookups (no, not even water), they are only open about 8 months out of the year, they have only daily rates, and have a 14 day maximum stay.
Lake Pillsbury also has great fishing and boating.
15 to 20 minutes southeast is Clear Lake. There are some campgrounds there, too, but the water is not as clear as ours, and the setting is not as peaceful and wooded; its' more like being downtown than out in the country. Here at Blue Lake, we like being part of the Mendocino National Forest area.
Other nearby activities
Do you like horses? There's an equestrian ranch about 15 minutes from us. Further north and east are the Redwoods of the California North Coast.
