2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabins near American Canyon provide rustic to modern accommodations with varying amenities. Skyline Wilderness Park offers cabin options within minutes of Napa's wineries, while San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA provides family-friendly cabin rentals with full hookups and amenities. Steep Ravine Cabins at Mount Tamalpais State Park feature separate bedrooms with sleeping platforms for multiple guests. "These cabins are well worth the cost. There is a separate bedroom, you could sleep 2 couples on beds easily with extra floor space and a small individual bunk for larger families. No electricity but the wood burning stove provides some light," notes one visitor.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground cabins provide electricity, outlets, and heating systems, making them suitable for families with children. Most cabins require advance reservations, with popular locations like Steep Ravine booking up to six months in advance. Many campgrounds allow pets in select cabins, though policies vary by location. According to a review, "The cabins are incredible. They have electricity, outlets, and heating. All you need are sheets, pillows, and blankets."
Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and blankets. Cooking facilities vary widely—some cabins offer only outdoor fire rings and charcoal grills, while others provide wood-burning stoves inside. Several campgrounds feature dishwashing stations near restrooms. Brannan Island State Recreation Area offers one cabin with electricity and a bunk bed plus queen bed, though a visitor notes, "Bring air mattresses cause they are just wooden frames." Nearby general stores provide basic supplies, but planning ahead with essential items is recommended, especially for more remote cabin locations.
"A ton of great hiking and horseback riding trails. Literally 5 mins outside of the town of Napa. Ate at an amazing Brazilian Steakhouse and came to camp in just a short drive."
"Super easy access and safe, in the city so close to wineries, restaurants and shops. We were here as a stop in our road trip so it was a perfect stay. They provide WiFi and hot shower."
"Like most (if not all) KOAs, you can also tent camp or tent cabins. Good size dog park for the pets to run and be free, as well as plenty of fun activities to entertain the kiddos."
"A nice KOA close to Petaluma with great facilities. We took advantage of doing some laundry and having a hot shower."
"Site had a fire ring, picnic table, and a stone grill. The grounds had running water, flush toilets and quarter showers. Camped here at night and explored point reyes during the day."
"This campground is beautiful, set in the redwoods, with a creek and nature trails. It has all the amenities: flush toilets, showers, fire pits, running water, and grills."
from $35 - $225 / night
"Water fountains/spigots relatively easy to find near most campsites. Bathhouse is next to site 10, operates with quarters."
"We set up our tent towards the back of the site closest to the creek because it was more private. The only concern was that there was a slight downward slope."

"It’s close to the entrance but the driveway only had a slight grade. Mostly folks with trailers. The sites are not too close together but it is easy to see into the surrounding neighbors."
"It is kid friendly, fun easy hike around the lake (no swimming but you can rent or bring your own kayaks or stand-up paddle boards), great location to way more technical hikes into and around Trione-Annabel"
from $35 / night
"They have one cabin with electricity. It has a bunk bed And a queen. Bring air mattresses cause they are just wooden frames. Very close to the Sacramento River for a nice cruise."
"Brennan Island State Park is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the California Delta. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by friendly staff who make you feel right at home."
"We stayed in section C as far away from the road as possible, right next to Putah Creek. It was April and the pairs of geese were abundant."
"There is a small store with the basic essentials, a play area for young kids and of course the main attraction which is an access to the river. There is a kayak rental by the beach area."
"Stayed here for a few days and I have to say probably the best family campground around! The sites were super clean the staff were awesome! Lots of activities for the family. The River area is nice."
TravelerHenry in the office is amazing. Bathrooms are clean. laundry room very large and has many washers and dryers. Subway close walk, MUNI is at the park entrance. A gas station and Grocery store are both across the street.
ScoutThis campground needs a lot of work including docks, boat births and sites need pads and less weeds, stickers, burs.
GuideI enjoyed my two night stay here, the location is great right on the water.
Campsites are very close together and the Bodega Bay foghorn goes off every 10 seconds 24/7 and that got annoying.
Great for Starlink
TravelerHad a late check in after scheduling in the same day, but the staff were so welcoming and helpful over the phone! The campsite is so clean you could walk around barefoot. the scenery is so beautiful with sheep, cattle, mountains and a stream surrounding/on the property. Would definitely recommend
GuideWe have stayed here a few times. I have a sister that lives here and this place is only about 3 miles from us! $80 for a back in space.
ScoutShowers are clean, lots of play area, for kids.boating
GuidePopped in and only a few campers there. A bridge away from towns. Hot showers. Squirrels galore. Ill be back.
ScoutWe had been looking forward to this camping trip, but unfortunately our experience at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Lodi was very disappointing. Before our trip, I paid the Lock Fee($40) specifically to guarantee the campsite we had selected. However, when we arrived, we were assigned to a completely different site. After setting up our trailer, we went back to the office to ask about it. Instead of correcting the mistake, another employee told us that we didn’t even have a reservation and that we needed to leave the campground. We had to search through our emails, show our reservation confirmation, and even provide proof of payment from our bank before they finally found our reservation. Only then were we moved to the campsite we had originally reserved and paid extra to secure. Unfortunately, the worst part happened on our last night. We were camping with friends, and between us we had two electric bikes—one worth nearly$5,000 and another worth over$1,000. We went to bed around 2:30 a.m., and everything was still there. When we came out of our trailers around 8:30 a.m., both bikes had been stolen. We immediately called the police. The responding officer told us that just two weeks earlier, another camper had all of the sound equipment stolen from their vehicle at the same campground. What disappointed us most is that the campground doesn’t appear to have adequate security measures, such as surveillance cameras, and there was no warning at check-in that thefts had recently occurred. Had we known there was an increased risk, we would have taken additional precautions with our valuables. When families choose a campground like this, they expect a safe, relaxing environment where they can enjoy nature without worrying that expensive belongings will disappear overnight. The campground has great amenities and is a fun place for families, but our experience with the reservation issues and the lack of security left us extremely disappointed. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, improves security, and is more transparent with guests so other families don’t have the same experience we did.
ScoutOk, but you guys need to improve lots stuff. Pool was out of order, stuff were not that friendly, I would suggest if you can concrete sites, hard for in and out
Cabins near American Canyon, California sit in Napa County at elevations between 200 and 600 feet, placing them at the southern edge of California's wine country. Winter temperatures drop to mid-40s, while summers reach the 80s. The area averages just 25 inches of rainfall annually, creating dry conditions from May through October that affect camping experience.
Hiking at Mount Tamalpais: Access diverse trail systems from Steep Ravine Campground at Mount Tamalpais State Park. "The hiking trails that join from the coast all the way to Mill Valley and central Marin are walking distance from this site. Be warned though, the hiking is steep, really good hiking but bring good shoes and be sure that you are physically ready for a hard workout," notes a visitor.
Water recreation at Russian River: Paddle or swim at Casini Ranch Family Campground with boat access and rentals. "They have an insane amount of kids activities! Face painting, s'mores campfire, hay ride, parks, kareoke- just to name a few!" according to one camper who visited with family.
Mountain biking in regional parks: Explore technical trails connecting Spring Lake Regional Park to neighboring Trione-Annadel State Park. "This campground is nice with newer bathrooms and shower facilities, but it's also very open and exposed. Great access to Spring Lake's water-based activities and hiking trails, plus easy access to Trione-Annadel State Park for hiking and mountain biking," reports a regular visitor.
Proximity to wineries: Skyline Wilderness Park offers convenient wine country access. "A safe, beautiful, affordable property to spend outdoors time on. Convenient sites with complete hookup and also restroom/showers handy. The 800+ acres of hills, woods and fields offers archery, disc golf, hiking, horseback riding and more. Very friendly, helpful staff. Bonus: short drive to Downtown Napa," writes one reviewer.
Coastal cabin experience: The cabins at Mount Tamalpais State Park provide unique oceanfront accommodation. "These cabins are well worth the cost. There is a separate bedroom, you could sleep 2 couples on beds easily with extra floor space and a small individual bunk for larger families. No electricity but the wood burning stove provides some light," shares a visitor.
Redwood forest setting: Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground features old-growth redwoods creating natural shade. "Great place to chill or add in some hiking. Hopefully your neighbors have the same agenda since there isn't much privacy. Sites are on the small side as well. It's a special forest though and worth a visit," reports a frequent camper.
Cabin reservation timing: Premium cabins book months in advance, particularly at coastal locations. "How is it possible that I am the first to review this place, the number one most difficult to reserve spot in all of California? So the cabins are not only notoriously difficult to reserve -- you need to be ready to click 'reserve' on the website at no less than 5 minutes before the window opens for your dates of interest, which was 6 months ahead of time when I reserved."
Wildlife considerations: Various campgrounds report wildlife interactions that require proper food storage. At Spring Lake Regional Park, "Raccoons, Chipmunks and Blue Jays were NOT SHY but also not a harrowing issue."
Seasonal constraints: Some cabin facilities have limited operating times or seasonal closures. "On our first visit, there was no running water or showers, but they did have portapotties. On our second visit, water was available, but it was not potable, and the showers and toilets were still not working. Not sure if that is a Covid related issue or a temporary maintenance issue."
Opt for cabins with electricity: San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA provides family-friendly cabin options with amenities. "Great place to recharge. A nice KOA close to Petaluma with great facilities. We took advantage of doing some laundry and having a hot shower. This KOA also offered all sorts of amenities for families including a small petting zoo, a pool, playground areas, and more."
Pack sleeping gear for wooden platforms: Many cabin accommodations provide only basic furnishings. "Bring air mattresses cause they are just wooden frames," advises a camper who stayed at Brannan Island State Recreation Area.
Consider noise levels at popular destinations: Family campgrounds can get busy, especially during summer. "You are going to probably experience some of the most ridiculous first-time campers with no sense of camping etiquette you have ever met in your life. I put up with it, for kids—and now I have great stories—but I'd never go back as an experienced camper."
Understand site configurations: Bothe-Napa Valley State Park offers varied camping options beyond standard RV sites. "This wasn't the best campground I've ever been, the river was extremely muddy and our campsite provided little shade. But it was very spacious and the staff were amazing!"
Check hookup availability: Utility connections vary widely between parks. "RV campsites are close together and semi-level. Bathrooms could use some TLC. But the park is nice with lots of hiking, views and close to Napa," notes a Skyline Wilderness visitor.
Research cellular coverage: Cell service differs dramatically between cabin locations. "Cell phone coverage is good. Have both Verizon and Att with at least 2-3 bars. 10-12 Mbps down 4-5 Mbps up. Wild turkey, deer, wood peckers regularly seen!" reports a camper from Skyline Wilderness Park.
