Accessible only by boat or hiking trail, this Corps of Engineers campground operates year-round on Lake Sonoma's shoreline. The remote sites require campers to transport all gear and supplies by water or foot, with no vehicle access available.
Located within the same lake system as Warm Springs Rec Area and other boat-in options, the campground provides a more secluded alternative to developed facilities. Campers should plan for self-sufficiency, as no amenities or services are provided at the primitive sites. The location works best for experienced campers comfortable with backcountry-style camping who can handle the logistics of waterborne or trail-based gear transport.
