THE BEST Equestrian CAMPING NEARBen Lomond, California

Loved tall red woods here. And some banana slugs!

Cozy clean campsites easy to navigate. Valley view point was pretty nice will make a good painting spot next time. Bathrooms were clean but didn’t use the showers, assumed they worked just as well. Archery ranged looked like a great trail I’ll have to bring my bow next time.

This is a great camp ground for families as well as seniors! We are seniors and stayed recently over a weekend when they have their most activities. We attended a presentation on the wild birds in the area that an employee provided, and then he took us on a hike through Costanoa and over to the…

The park is a on beautiful forested hilltop. Some areas are redwood, other parts mixed with other kinds of trees. This is the only place I’ve seen the redwood trees harvest the fog and make their own rain, which is pretty cool. In the morning it’s raining under the redwood trees but not under the…

Well maintained campground. Some smaller and uneven spots but worth it. Next to great hikes.

Bathrooms are great.

First time and definitely not the last. Loved the grounds. Clean and beautiful!

We stayed in Valley View #1 (campsite 115 specifically), which is nestled in the redwoods with plenty of room and privacy. This park is well maintained with staff that care.

Perhaps the best part of this less known campground and park is the quiet nature of it with no major crowds. Trails were…

Fun all year round

This was always a favorite

We camped for two nights in April at Tan Oak. We had a lovely experience. Because of COVID they are only reserving every other site, so it’s pretty quiet. Bathrooms were clean and easily accesible. We loved our spot (#405) because it’s surrounded by a ring of redwoods, absolutely gorgeous and a lot…

All roads approaching the park are very narrow and windy. Quimby Road is especially difficult. The campground has an extremely narrow access road and small sites. Only use the campground if you are in a small vehicle. Campground has RV dump but only bring a very small RV into the park if you plan…

We had a very nice stay for a long weekend. The pull through spaces are extremely tight to the point that our slide out was hitting vegetation and our neighbors awning was about two feet from our Rv. But, if you expect that, it’s a great place to stay. Very clean, well maintained, and about a 20…

We camped here for one night to test our pandemic project...a van conversion. We had never been here before but will definitely come back. We came in November, just in time for a temperature drop and some nice gusts. I’m not going to hold the chill against this area because I didn’t dress…

My husband and I are not big fans of Campgrounds and prefer boondocking, but Mount Madonna was a pleasant surprise. There are several loops in the campground, and we stayed in Valley View 1 which had electric and water hookup for RV camping only. We were happy to have the electric hook up since the…

How have I never heard of this place before?! Super easy to book, and “last minute” (3 weeks before) compared to 6 months out for a state park. Beautiful redwoods around although 15 mins away is regular houses. Campsites are small, I luckily got 301 which was bigger. There’s a fire pit, picnic…
