MENDOCINO CO., 6/1/25 – Campers can now leave cash and checks at home when booking a campsite at more than a dozen Mendocino National Forest campgrounds, forest officials said last week.  The new Scan & Pay program allows campers to scan a QR code at a campground kiosk that opens the Recreation.gov site and takes the camper to the payment page for that particular campground.  If there is no cell service available, the payment will show “pending” and be processed once reception is available.
