Wells Cabin is a Forest Service campground in the Grindstone Ranger District of Mendocino National Forest in California. It sits in the forest's backcountry, about 2.4 miles from Sugar Springs and within a few miles of several other campgrounds and paddling spots. There is no fee to use the site, and the only amenity on hand is a vault toilet. That makes it a simple base for an overnight stay in the district, without the need for advance planning around fees or more developed facilities. The closest neighbor is Sugar Springs, about 2.4 miles away. Board Creek and Jumpoff Creek, both canoeing waters, are each about 3 miles off. For hiking, the Grindstone Camp Trail lies roughly 3.7 miles away.
