ScoutThis campground is one of the best. Best friendly and helpful staff. Very clean sites and restrooms. We have stated there in the past and are very presently surprised when we go back and find it has not changed from being a great place to stay. It is not fancy but has everything you need to make your stay pleasant. Sites are gravel, which are racked before your arrival. On the outskirts of Bodega Bay.
GuideClean and well laid out. Laundry has 3 washers and 3 dryers. Prices are high but normal for CA. It’s a bit of a walk to the nearest beach, but you can drive if you want to. Sites are all gravel with a picnic table and divided by a fence. It’s a packed place with no real views. Staff is very nice. Dogs were wondering through our site and quiet hours were not enforced.
GuideThis KOA is pretty big with plenty of options for RV sites. Wide variety of full hook-ups or partial hook-ups. 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. For us, this is a great spot to shoot down the highway and pull in for a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life! Close to downtown Petaluma with plenty of premium shops and restaurants.
ScoutJeanne and Roberts treehouse is a luxurious Wonderland of a campground! We had total privacy, a pool, sauna and hot tub and a cool little treehouse to sleep in (with real stairs, leading up to it), Our dogs had a great time because they were off leash… The place is completely private and fenced! We highly recommend, the treehouse… You won’t be disappointed!
TravelerThis 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. The only drawback is the sites are small and close together, affording very little privacy. The campground can be pretty loud at night too. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and seclusion, this might not be the campground for you. We really enjoyed it though because we have a three year old, and with all the other noise in the campground, I didn't have to feel bad when she was being loud. Also, watch out for the raccoons! They stole my bread that I stupidly left out, and then tried to get into our ice chest. There are lockers provided at each campsite. Use them!
ScoutJust got back from a 2 night stay at Johnson's Beach campsite. We found the camp grounds to be so-so and not the most maintained. While we were there, we saw more than a few families come for a night and leave earlier than expected because of complaints of their sites.
If you are interested in Johnson's Beach, I'd rather do one of their glamping tents or bungalow instead.
Pros:
Good location to the beach; 2 minute walk from camp site to the beach.
Nice clean and well maintained bathrooms and showers.
5 minute walk to downtown / Safeway
Host (Chris) was nice and did his best.
Outlets at each site.
Well shaded by trees (although is also a con).
Cons:
TravelerWhile there’s nothing bad about this RV park, there’s also nothing great. Its best feature is the proximity to bodega bay.
The camp hosts are quite nice, but not reason enough to return.
TravelerI felt lucky to get a last-minute drop-in spot in busy Bodega Bay on the weekend. A two-night minimum is required, but I was happy to stay for two nights. The staff is very friendly, COVID restrictions had the restrooms and laundry facilities closed, but I appreciated the serious adherence to masks and other COVID guidelines. The park is very well-maintained, nicely landscaped, and each day the crew cleans and rakes all of the sites after check-out. A Mexican restaurant and coffee shop are at the front of the property, and other businesses are nearby. On Saturdays there is a farmer's market on the property adjascent to the park. There are nearby paths which I didn't get to explore too much, but I believe bay and beach access isn't far away. The only aspects preventing a 5 star reveiw are that the sites are a bit close together, and there's not a view other than the trees.
LegendCampground Description
The Rob Hill campground claims the title of the only overnight campsite in the city! Stumbled across this campground by accident a few weeks ago as we were hiking around The Presidio. It was quite the hidden gem set amidst a stunning cypress and eucalyptus grove. Looked like there was easily room for at least a dozen small tents at each of the sites and nice restrooms accessible via combination punch pad. (You can see how much space there is in the photos and video)
I found out that 2 of the 4 sites, that can accommodate 30 people each, are open to the public, reservations are handled through the emailing the PDF reservation form to camp@presidiotrust.gov. The staff person indicated yesterday that weekends are booked solid through the end of the year; however, weekday sites are available.
This is a great place for a group camping event. With the campsites centered around a large communal campfire circle. Really seemed like the whole campground is very well organized and clean, with each of the 4 sites also having individual fire rings, looked like nice clean bathrooms, and plenty of space for people to run around. There's a great view of the ocean nearby as this is basically directly above Baker Beach. Since it's in the Presidio, come prepared for fog and cold weather. With a nice big fire and plenty of warm clothes, it seems like it could provide a very cool experience to watch the fog blow in through the trees. Note we haven’t camped here because of the crazy high campground cost being $125 per site, thus I’d say that Rob Hill is definitely intended for groups, not for individuals.
The campsite’s main distinction is the site for the Camping at the Presidio (CAP) program, which provides youth with meaningful outdoor experiences.
When the U.S. Army left the Presidio, Rob Hill was a dusty, rustic site. It was expanded and improved in 2010 with support from the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. "Rob Hill Campground is a place where children and families have the opportunity to pitch a tent in their national park, enjoy s’mores cooked over a campfire, and wake up in the woods to the sounds of nature,” said Walter J. Haas, Chair of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund and son of its founders.

Please Note/Restrictions
CAP Program
Two of Rob Hill's four group sites are reserved for the Camping at the Presidio (CAP) program, which provides youth with meaningful camping experiences. Through this 'train the trainer' program, the leaders of schools and community organizations are given the skills to bring groups of kids to explore the Presidio's outdoors. These adventures offer hands-on learning and exploration. CAP leaders love "getting to know the kids in a different setting" and seeing their kids' enthusiasm about simple natural wonders like a banana slug or the night sky. "The whole experience was truly magical!" said one CAP participant. CAP is a partnership of the Presidio Trust and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
Overall, I gave the campground 4/5 stars because it was very well maintained and in a great location. But the cost is pretty exorbitant and there are only 2 sites open to the public.
Glamping experiences near Bodega Bay provide access to coastal beauty with varying amenities. The region sits where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean, with typical summer temperatures ranging from 50-75°F and significant coastal fog patterns. Sites nearest to the ocean often experience stronger winds, with inland glamping locations offering more protection from coastal weather systems.
Waterfall hiking trails: Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground offers multiple trail options alongside glamping accommodations. "There is an observatory and nice hiking here. Kenwood seems to be a place where gentrification has not taken over attitude. Folks are pretty friendly," notes a visitor who appreciated the area's maintained character.
Beach fire permits: At Coast Campground, glamping options come with beach access. "The beach offers tidepools close by as well as a great place for beach fire (permit needed)," explains one camper who recommends the longer Coast Trail for its scenic beauty rather than taking the fire road route.
Observatory stargazing: Astronomical observations complement glamping near Bodega Bay at select parks. "We went on a night hike for a star gazing tour and had a great time!" shares a visitor to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Campground, which features an on-site observatory alongside glamping accommodations.
Wildlife observation: Many glamping sites offer opportunities to view local fauna. "We saw a rabbit, turkeys, lizards, deer, & quails!" reports a visitor who walked the Nature Trail through one campground, providing a gentle wildlife viewing opportunity without strenuous hiking.
Proximity to wine country: Glamping provides convenient access to California's wine regions. According to one visitor at Ritchey Creek Campground, "A shuttle stops at the park to take people into town for dinner if they don't want to drive after drinking." This service creates flexibility for glampers wanting to explore wineries safely.
Russian River access: Water activities enhance glamping experiences near Bodega Bay. "This place is great! I had a free trial here and I have to say it was great experience. Beautiful river along with campsites surrounded by tall tress. Nice place to relax, hike, fish and or kayaking," explains a visitor at Duncans Mills Campground.
Redwood protection: Tree canopies provide natural shelter at many glamping sites. "Because of the amazing redwood canopy, it might be hard to get good sun for solar in most of the sites," notes a camper, highlighting how the dense forest creates a unique microclimate for glamping experiences while potentially limiting solar power options.
Seasonal pool access: Some glamping properties offer swimming facilities during warmer months. "There's a pool for warm summer days and some awesome trails," shares a return visitor to a glamping site in Napa Valley, noting the combination of natural features with resort-style amenities.
Variable coastal temperatures: Pack layers regardless of season for glamping near Bodega Bay. "One thing to note, the night is COLD up this way, and mere miles will cover several different weather systems. Bring layers," advises a visitor to Olema Campground, which offers glamping options.
Poison oak awareness: Several glamping sites contain this native plant. "Camped here for three nights over Fourth of July holiday...however the campgrounds were infested with poison oak. Maybe just the time of year and because of so much rain this year?" reports a glamper, suggesting seasonal variations in poison oak prevalence.
Traffic noise considerations: Some glamping locations experience road sounds. "What was not mentioned is that it is right next to the highway so we heard frequent traffic day & nite," notes a visitor at River Bend Resort, highlighting that proximity to roads can affect the otherwise natural experience.
Hard ground conditions: The volcanic soil in certain areas creates challenges. "The ground is volcanic rock and super hard in the dry weather. I broke a couple tent poles and couldn't pull the rest out of the ground," reports a camper, suggesting that glamping options with raised platforms may be preferable during dry seasons.
Recreation centers: Family-friendly facilities enhance glamping experiences. "Beautiful river along with campsites surrounded by tall tress. Nice place to relax, hike, fish and or kayaking, full hookups and well maintained campground along with a decent rec center," notes a visitor who appreciated the structured recreation options.
Playground access: Many glamping sites feature play areas for children. "It is a wonderful campground for familes with children and pets. We have a dog and two very young children. We had a blast there lots to do and see! On Sunday's the farmers market is nextdoor so you can walk over!" shares a visitor to Bodega Bay RV Park, which includes glamping accommodations.
Educational programming: Some sites offer structured learning activities. "Ask about the free quest hike. They send you on an adventure hike and there is treasure at the end of it," recommends a camper who found this activity particularly engaging for children at a state park offering glamping accommodations.
Wildlife viewing safety: Animal encounters require appropriate supervision. "Raccoons, Chipmunks and Blue Jays were NOT SHY but also not a harrowing issue," reports a camper, indicating that wildlife interactions are common but manageable with proper precautions.
RV site selection: Corner locations often provide additional space for glamping setups. "We nestled our Sprinter between to large pine trees and took the dog for a walk. Then headed down the road for our first dinner indoors since February!" shares a visitor who appreciated the positioning of their site.
Full hookup availability: Services vary significantly between glamping locations. "Clean simple and fun place with loads to do for the family. Swim, play and explore all the north bay has to offer," notes a visitor to San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA who appreciated the full-service amenities alongside glamping options.
Local dining options: Many glamping sites provide convenient access to restaurants. "I would highly recommend Five Brooks Ranch in Olema for horseback riding, Hog Island in Marshall (snag a picnic table and shuck your own oysters - definitely a highlight) and Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station," advises a camper who explored the surrounding area.
Site delivery services: Some glamping locations offer convenient tank management. "The host says they will come around in the morning and empty our tanks! No need to hook up our sewer hose!" reports a pleased visitor who found this service particularly valuable for their extended stay.
