Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Reviewed Sep. 25, 2024

Close to wine country

Lovely campsite with very sweet camp hosts. Always waved when they drove by.

Chose site 17 because of the beautiful tree seen in another review but was felled prior to our arrival, so no big tree. We did however get a beautiful view of the stars.

Two things to note, some of the sites (didn’t look like all of them had this issue) have an incredibly fine dusty dirt that gets on absolutely everything, it made our feet, legs and sandals completely beige from the dust and we had to wipe them with wet wipes before going into our tent and tracked a fair amount into our car upon leaving.

The other thing we were disappointed with was that we had to pay for showers on top of already paying over $50 for our site for one night, we felt that was a pretty big con and that it should be included in the fees.

Overall, you can’t get closer to the wineries and it was an otherwise lovely site.
